"The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy without a clear comprehensive plan to capture an area or an enemy center. Other word, the significance of the strategy of their work is to show in the media that the American and the government do not control the situation and there is resistance against them. This policy dragged us to the type of operations that are attracted to the media, and we go to the streets from time to time for more possible noisy operations which follow the same direction."

This statement from an official Al Qaeda document should cause every MSM weasel (those who dimly follow the lead of Al Qaeda to report only whatever Al Qaeda wants reported) to commit suicide (or at least be fired from all media work) - Al Qaeda knows that our media does their propaganda work, and Al Qaeda tailors its actions accordingly. When will the west WAKE UP????

We have to forget the media and work around them. It's the only way.

We have to use our e-mail lists and ask our friends to read the stuff we send and then use THEIR lists to forward the stuff on.

And we should be sending this stuff to our congresscritters and ask them why THEY aren't talking about this stuff.

It's a very odd strategy in that the groups who benefit are the socialists in Old Europe and Blue States who opposed the war...

...But it's a very unpopular strategy in Iraq, other Arab, Asian, and Persian lands...where even Osama Bin Laden has criticized Zarqawi's public beheadings, kidnappings, and targeting of Iraqi civilians.

It's as though Al Qaeda strategy was being developed and led by a former Communist who cared more about anti-U.S. goals than about winning in the Islamic world.

"When will the west WAKE UP????"
I know you have the answers in depth. The bright side is fewer goons can get in. And more are being taken out.
The are just a rag tag bunch of criminals with in most cases no military skills.
The video recently showing zman claming they are building an army is just to save face. It appears at this point as jmc1969 had basically pointed out a few weeks back, that probably more Iraqi killings are being done by the Sadr militia and Saddamist, and goons in the radical religious groups such as Ansar al-Islam then the al Qaeda Iraqi goons.
One thing that does appear to be changing is the big three alphabets are no longer harping on how terrible things are in Iraq, how a civil war is ragging on, etc.. They simply show the results of the blast, and move on to other news.
They realize at this point the gig is up. A new Iraqi government will soon take control. One of these days zman is going to be announced dead or captured. And when that happens they will start slipping in things like ... it appears the Iraqi forces now have a firm grip on the insurgency. They calculate just when to turn off the pressure, and become neutral.
