U.S. Military Says Seized Docs Show Al Qaeda in Iraq Is Weakened

The military revealed two documents discovered by American troops in November: a 39-page memo written by a mid- to high-level Al Qaeda official with knowledge of the group's operations in Iraq's western Anbar province, and a 16-page diary written by another group leader north of Baghdad.

In the Anbar document, the author describes an Al Qaeda in crisis, with citizens growing weary of militants' presence and foreign fighters too eager to participate in suicide missions rather than continuing to fight, said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, a U.S. military spokesman.

"We lost cities and afterward, villages... We find ourselves in a wasteland desert," Smith quoted the document as saying.

Their money supply has dried up, and they are unable to trade used cars with a profit.

Nancy Pelosi is the dumbest douche-bag in the world. Blood shoots from my eyes when I hear some puss-bag liberal deny all our troops accomplishments in Iraq. Pelosi talks out of both sides of her ass when she says Iraq is a disaster but the troops succeeded. I’m begging my fellow Americans to please vote these losers out of office before it’s too late. We would be much better off with inexperienced politicians who love this country than the current groups who excel at destroying America. We have to stop electing corrupt creeps who are the lowest form of lowlife scum.

The clock is ticking on our great successes. We'd best clean this all up and nail the thing down within 10 months and start pulling the plug.

A Hillary or Obama win in the Presidency will send our best efforts into oblivion as we scurry to leave. That looks more and more inevitable.

Now that we have John McCain running as the GOP standard bearer, legions of Conservatives will probably take a walk on Election Day.

McCain is America's 2008 Ross Perot Moment. It has been a clever tactic by the MSM, Dems, and hapless GOP to set us up again - just like in 1992. But instead of voting for Perot, we will vote for "somebody else". Same result.

Check Mate.

Senator Obama is said to be despondent...

I can’t help but wonder whether things like the Patriot Act here in the US, where bankers and brokerages must report all kinds of suspicious activites might have had a hand in some of this. The Patriot Act is more than just something my idiot Senator Russ Feingold opposed because of its ability to listen in on conversations.

Anyway, funny how everything always reverts to a focus on money.
