Whether that was a disinfo post by an al-Qaeda operative or a disinfo defeatist post by someone sitting at a desk at the CIA or NSA, or whether it was an operative of Iraq's intel units...

An interesting possibility. Several thoughts:

- a disinfo post made in Arabic would NOT be for the benefit of Americans or the American media. Such a post (if it is disinfo) would be directed at those doing the fighting.
- a disinfo post by AQ that suggests defeat would be counter-productive for AQ. It raises morale for us and brings down morale for them.
- a CIA/NSA disinfo post would only be meaningful if there was some truth behind it for the enemy to accept it.

Even as disinformation, I believe that this post is an indication of significant improvements.

Wheels within wheels. Maybe we'll know for sure in 20-50 years.

There are so many factions with so many different agendas, I get a headache trying to figure it out. Then I realize we can't ever know for sure. Good grief, we don't even know members of our own forum that well.
