Largest Terrorist Forum Admits Al Qaeda Defeat in Iraq
July 6 2008 | jveritas

Posted on 07/06/2008 2:01:05 PM PDT by jveritas

We have won the war on terror in the Iraqi theater and there is no doubt about it. Not only that the events on the grounds absolutely prove our victory over Al Qaeda but now even Al Qaeda media is admitting defeat in Iraq. In a recent thread posted on Al Ekhlaas, the largest Al Qaeda forum on the internet, the author of the thread who is also a very prominent member of the terrorist forum admitted that Al Qaeda main battlefield against the US has now moved from Iraq to Afghanistan. In his thread “Qanas Al Jazeera” said that the so called “Iraqi Resistance”( i.e. Al Qaeda terrorists) is now suffering from a lot of problems that has badly affected their status in Iraq and led to their decline. He went on to explain why the battlefield in Iraq is no more suitable for Al Qaeda terrorists and why Afghanistan is becoming the main theater of war against the US.

The thread was written in Arabic and I will post below a partial translation. Also Al Ekhlaas is not an open forum and one must be registered to view the posting. However for the folks who may have access to the terrorist forum here is the link: http://ek-ls.org/forum/showthread.php?t=155079

Beginning of the partial translation:

“Date of the thread: June 17 2008. Author: “Qanas Al Jazeera”.

A lot of events lead now to the direction that Afghanistan will become the main center to resist the imperial American project after Iraq was the main center of resistance for a period of two years from 2005-2006. There are a lot of subjective and objectives reasons that lead in the direction that Afghanistan and that the strength of Afghani resistance increases each passing day where as the Iraqi resistance suffer from a number of problems that greatly affected it and caused its decline after being so close from achieving a strategic victory against the US…..

…The Iraqi resistance has been suffering from division and many factions where they were a lot of Emirs and Emirates in regions where they were not required and with great regret the success of the Americans in penetrating the Sunni ranks who were the main shelter of the resistance and they founded the so called “Awakening Councils” which greatly weakened the resistance and led to its decline….”

End of partial translation.

That is why McCain should be elected President so we do not turn our hard won VICTORY into surrender and defeat.

Still no word from CNN. Al-Maliki made a similar remark the other day saying Iraq had defeated both Sunni and Shia extremist groups...

Who is still killing our soldiers in Iraq then? Must be ghosts of "defeated" Al Qaeda.

Sun Tzu BS. Al Qaeda terrorists have been crushed and utterly defeated in Iraq. Please celebrate VICTORY, spread the news of VICTORY to your friends and family, and say a prayer of thanks to our superb brave troops and President Bush.

"Who is still killing our soldiers in Iraq then? Must be ghosts of "defeated" Al Qaeda."

The only soldier we've lost this month was due to a non-hostile work accident.

Moreover, equating "victory" to "never losing a man" is silly. Even defeated enemies still maintain the ability to kill the occasional foot soldier.

VICTORY in this kind of war will never equate to zero casualties in our side or the civilian side. There will be casualties but notice that the number of casualties among our troops and civilians in Iraq has decreased dramatically and there is no place for Al Qaeda terrorist to hide anymore. The remaining of AL Qaeda defeated force was crushed last month in Mosul which was their last big refuge in Iraq.

Nonsense. Sun Tsu was well known for throwing *VAST* victory parties celebrating wins.

“Al Qaeda main battlefield against the US has now moved from Iraq to Afghanistan.”

Al Qaeda and the Taliban are now operating out of Pakistan. The heavy fighting in Afghanistan is now along the border with Pakistan close to the enemies bases.

LOL. The biggest one being that you got your rear ends kicked.

So thanks for telling us where your next, and likely last, stand will be. I think some Marines are rigging up your welcome wagon.

Seriously, thanks for the translation, jveritas. We need a president who will follow through and it's not Obama.

If they are only trying to “look” defeated, they are doing a great job. 04-08 the only victories they racked up were carbombings against civilians.

Taqqiyah.

Ever heard of it?

Don’t bet the ranch. It about 500yrs too soon, based upon those murderous subhumans’, lying, deceptive history, IMO.

We have kicked their lowlife, 7th century asses in Iraq, but there are hundreds-of-thousands of that muslim-islamic-arab garbage ready to come in and fill the gaps.

Nature ahbors a vacuum.

Until Israel fully-dominates the ME and the muslim-islamist trash are completely and totally destroyed, I remain skeptical.

But I’ll lift a pint and a toast to our Brave, Heroic US Military, anyday, anywhere, anytime!

God Bless America!

At its worst, the whole of the combined effect of Al Queda in Iraq, the Shia, the Iranian proxies, and the various other groups, plus natural causes and 'hold muh beer' moments killed our soldiers at a rate typical of being in ones late 30s in New Jersey. While we should honor those who have placed their lives on the line, and endured the hardships, the idea that we were ever losing a lot of soldiers has been silly.
