The US military believes much of al Qaeda's senior leaders have fled the country as the Iraqi security forces, backed by the US, have pressed offensives in al Qaeda's last safe havens in Ninewa and Diyala provinces.

Last one out the door please turn out the lights ping...

Never mind.

During the first half of this year, al Qaeda has been able to conduct 28 attacks resulting in 125 Iraqi civilians killed.

Statistically speaking, Iraq is safer than Detroit or Philadelphia or Newark or even Washington DC...

Yep...the good guys have been on the prowl regularly. I don't discuss high activity periods on here because...well, it's just not cool, but we definitely notice when our folks are getting ready to deliver a butt-kicking.

It may be relatively peaceful now, but the coalition is still rooting out terrorists. They're not getting the accolades they deserve because the media sucks, but they're getting it done.

I predict violence in all of Baghdad will be very low this week - the FuzzieMuzzie BadGuys will all be glued to their TV's watching the Democrat Convention.

A good terrorist has just got to watch his leaders in action to show loyality....

Thanks for the ping, T4B. Now that the Al Qaeda leaders are all moving to NW Pakistan, we can saturate the area with Predators and shoot a Hellfire at anything that passes gas.
