Such negative spin to this article. Don't we want these idiots to move around and get out in the open where we have people that know how to deal with them.

Over there and not over here.

I did a search and could not believe that this was not already posted, so if this is a double post please forgive me.

"Diverting" means they don't have resources for both fronts.

Very good news, IMHO.

Someone has too much time on their hands dreaming -- this is all a bunch of mindless propaganda.

All this was on the orders of bin Laden himself, the sources said.

The real message here is that Al Queda understands that if America is successful in Iraq it is finished. It cannot stop us from doing what we need to do in Afganistan and it won't be able to do so in Iraq.

This is actually good news even if the RATmedia paints it as negative. Halving the money for the Afgani terrorists and sacrificing the home base of Al Queda is a sign of retreat and defeat not victory over the "infidels."
