Al Qaeda in Iraq probably wants to hang on till at least the day Bush leaves office hoping a Democrat gets in and declares failure the first day and packs the troops up and go home. The Al Qaeda would be free to do what ever they wanted and that would give them a BUNCH of mojo.
Interesting. So you’re saying that the US success is illusionary because Al Qaeda has made a deliberate decision to pull back and wait to see how the election turns out?
