I heard Bill Roggio today on WRKO AM680 Boston and he made a great argument on the incredible enhancements of the situation in Iraq. Now regarding Diyala being a “safe heaven” for AL Qaeda I think that is overestimating their power there, they may have the strongest presence in Diyala but I doubt it is a “safe heaven”, Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated.

Now regarding Diyala being a “safe heaven” for AL Qaeda I think that is overestimating their power there, they may have the strongest presence in Diyala but I doubt it is a “safe heaven”, Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated.

If you study the MNF-Iraq news releases over the last 2 weeks, they are doing shaping operations, IMHO, in Diyala. We will see in the next week or so a release of another major operation that should eliminate AQI for good. Nevertheless, I agree that they are already effectively defeated.
