These guys still don't get it! We have concentrated all the terror types in one place so they are easier to destroy. It won't happen over night but it will happen. When more and more of them don't go back to their caves the rest will get the idea and learn something else besides terrorism.
Meanwhile we train more Iraqi forces every month. Sooner or later they will take up lots of slack, but that too takes time! It's not overnight three minute t.v. segment sound bite.
Did they actually say al Qaeda is running Anbar? If there's a better case for staying in Iraq I've never heard it. And your analysis of how it may play out is excellent. However, remember the admonition in red on the posting page.
