The strategy of the jihadists has stalled: "Not a single regime has fallen to al-Qa'ida ... There is no rising in the Islamic street. [There has been] complete failure of al-Qa'ida to generate the political response they were seeking ... At this point the US is winning ... The war goes on."

I keep trying to explain this to people. Some never seem to get it.

Yeah boy, I'll bet you are having some problems selling this nonsense.

1)How many regimes had "fallen to al-Qa'ida" before the preemptive invasion?

2)[There has been] complete failure of al-Qa'ida to generate the political response they were seeking ... UNLESS you count the massive infusion of "insurgents" into IRAQ.

3)"The war goes on." No argument there, but 1 out of 3 is really only good in baseball stats.

And your solution would have been.......?

I guess you liked Clinton's method better. Hide your head and pretend it isn't happening.
