If these punks are the only people the terrorists can find to go fight in Iraq, that tells you the hardened-older Al Qaeda fighters who have a little more common sense have given up the fight in Iraq. It's obvious Al Qaeda knows they've lost this thing, so they're just sending gullable, impressionable teenagers to go an act as cannon fodder there so as to not create the impression Al Qaeda has given up the fight in Iraq. But they have. They are just using these kids to to harrass US troops in Iraq. But it's obvious Al Qaeda's mainstream force has given up and written off Iraq.

Now if only we could get the US media and the Democrats (same thing) to stop declaring defeat for the US in Iraq. It's obvious if all the terrorists can muster to go into Iraq are a bunch of moronic teenagers, that Al Qaeda has given up Iraq as a lost cause for them. But of course you won't hear that angle explored in the US media which is just rooting its heart out for a US defeat in Iraq.

It's tough for the Jihadists to motivate ordanary Muslims to go be suicide bombers against the very U.S. troops that are building and staffing schools and hospitals and providing electricity and purified water for the Iraqis.

Hate that for 'em...Not!

I don't think that they have so much given-up they just needed to fill their depleted ranks with fresh recruits. I think they are getting hard pressed to train their little jihadists, before battle. I wonder if any of them still have their shoes.

Good news. Also reminds me we haven't heard from Osama (may he rot in hell) for a long time.

Sounds like time to invade Syria and Iran then.

And by the way, this article further proves what I've been maintaining all along, that most of the "insurgents" aren't native Iraqis but are foreign terrorists.

Funny how we hear only about how ineffective and ill-trained Iraqi government forces are by the MSM, but nothing is said about the poor quality of Al Qaeda's forces that can't even stand and fight but have to rely on teenagers to engage in sissy stand-off tactics like roadside bombs and booby traps. Why don't we hear anything about the poor quality of the Al Qaeda forces in Iraq but in fact they're made to seem like a brilliant and invincible fighting machine by the America-hating media?

This article proves patience is winning the day in Iraq and that we have significantly degraded the enemy and their will to fight in Iraq. And as the Iraqis see we're serious about finishing the job, more and more are stepping up to the plate to turn in the terrorists and actively working to oppose them. Thanks President Bush for your wisdom and courage in seeing us through this conflict and ignoring the defeatism and surrender demands of the liberal left.

Or maybe the older, better trained ones are mostly dead now and all they can muster are these loser-punks.

One thing about suicide bombers - they can't be veterans.

Even the Japanese, whose worship of suicide was culturally ingrained, ran out of kamikaze volunteers.

This war was over before it started but the LSM gave the insurgency added impetus to continue fighting. God damn bastards have blood on their hands. The MSM is IMHO the most dangerous entity facing the US today. The fourth estate is acting like a fift column.

At the same time, Sunnis in the north has turned against the insurgents. Commanders said that unlike 2004, Iraqi residents have begun to relay tips on insurgency plots and attacks in the Mosul area.

Iraqis have even turned against the insurgents before the American Left have!

I'm thinking it's because many of those older Al Queda fighters are DEAD!

We all know this article can't be true. After all we've been hearing for months now from the demo/socalists and their partners in the LSM that our actions in Iraq have made us much less safe since all of these "hardend" insurgents are getting so much training and experience in urban warfare that they're likely to come to the US and kick our asses!

Not yet.

We still haven't finished our business in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But I do hope we have assets in both Iran and Syria that are actively working to undermine both those countries' governments.

That'd definitely make our jobs easier if those countries fell from within.

The fourth estate is acting like a fifth column.



BUMP for the best one liner in a long time!

I was impressed by that one-liner too. That was really well-said.

It's obvious Al Qaeda knows they've lost this thing,

Careful.

I hope you are correct.
But they may have withdrawn for a reason. Remember the letter that was found with QA#2 about falling back to another country.

Did they pull back leadership and leave just enough stooges to keep the bombers going? I dont know.

May they plan a WND bust. They have threatened it not long ago.

I do hope you are right.

Did you miss the "Skull and Bones" briefing? Why do you think we tricked the MSM into creating panic over "Bird Flu" and "West Nile Virus"? Look for the first big outbreak in Syria next week.

We won't seed it into Iran for another month.

Sheesh, pay attention.
