“He also wrote that foreign terrorists became disillusioned and disgruntled after arriving in Anbar, and many were asking for new assignments or to be allowed to return to their home countries. “

I thought we were CREATING this huge Jihadist army by being in Iraq. Hmm.. maybe I should continue watching the MSM so they can clarify what they meant by that.. so that I will be properly informed.

Part of the weakness of al-Q is that they tend to try to supplant (and this antagonize) the local tribal power structures
