Things are in the balance. I enjoyed AJ’s post so I am bringing it over here.

The War Front In Diyala
Posted by AJStrata on May 6th, 2007

Those of us watching Iraq know the last battle will be in Diyala. So does al Qaeda. And just as the Battle of the Bulge in WWII was a last desperate push by the Nazi to try and avoid their final defeat, it is no surprise al Qaeda will try the same thing to try and break the will of the US and Iraqi forces:

Roadside bombs killed eight American soldiers in three attacks Sunday in Diyala province and Baghdad, and a car bomb claimed 30 lives in a wholesale food market in a part of the Iraqi capital where sectarian tensions are on the rise.

This IS NOT sectarian violence - it is the jihadists attacking the moderate Muslims. It is the civil war we need so Muslims decide whether they are going to be for peace or bloody annihilation. We will see these days. But we will also see more days where we nail al Qaeda - as long as the Surrendercrats don’t get a chance to hand Bin Laden his win.

Sometimes I think there are very few of us watching, very few who will do some work to try to understand what’s going on, and that just amazes me. I hear such amazing statements from elected officials. Like Chris Dodd today saying al-Qaida was in Afganistan, not Iraq where it’s just a civil war. Even when it’s life and death, they don’t tell the truth. Do they tell the truth to themselves?
