Thank you La Enchiladita for your link and post.

OPINION: It is always good news when Al Qaeda retreats, is captured, or killed in battle.

Unfortunatley, Al Qaeda is part of the global jihad. The global jihad is a community held together by the internet.

Correct, Cindy. And they have their own television networks, too, even tried to set one up here in the U.S. you may recall.

"Al-Zawraa hit the airwaves on November 14. According to Middle East-based media monitor Marwan Soliman and military analyst Bill Roggio, it was set up by the Islamic Army of Iraq, an insurgent group comprised of former Baathists who were loyal to Saddam Hussein and now profess their conversion to a bin Laden-like ideology.

"...On Friday 26 January BBC Monitoring observed Al-Zawraa TV, a Sunni satellite channel that targets viewers in Iraq and the Middle East, transmitting on Badr 4, one of the Arabsat satellites, at 26 degrees east.
Al-Zawraa also continues to be carried on the Egyptian-run Nilesat satellite.

Arabsat, based in Saudi Arabia, is an intergovernmental organization established originally by the Arab League. Saudi Arabia is the main stakeholder."
