"Al Qaeda Is Being Slaughtered"

That was the verdict of Michael Yon on Hugh Hewitt's radio show tonight. He was talking about the linked post:

“Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated,” according to Sheik Omar Jabouri, spokesman for the Iraqi Islamic Party and a member of the widespread and influential Jabouri Tribe. Speaking through an interpreter at a 31 October meeting at the Iraqi Islamic Party headquarters in downtown Baghdad, Sheik Omar said that al Qaeda had been “defeated mentally, and therefore is defeated physically,” referring to how clear it has become that the terrorist group’s tactics have backfired. Operatives who could once disappear back into the crowd after committing an increasingly atrocious attack no longer find safe haven among the Iraqis who live in the southern part of Baghdad. They are being hunted down and killed. Or, if they are lucky, captured by Americans.

Yon described the progress he is currently seeing in Iraq as "unbelievable." Let's hope it continues.

” They are being hunted down and killed. Or, if they are lucky, captured by Americans. “

“Al Quaeda is being Slaughtered”?

Geez, sorry about that.

But, ya know, American’s have this saying:

“don’t play with fire, if you don’t want to get burnt”.

But, but I just heard Nancy P say “it is a war without end and is a total failure”. Just today she said it.

I can’t figure out who is telling the truth. s/

Michael Yon is one of the best on-the-ground reporters. He constantly reports stuff the liberal media tries to ignore. What we are finding out is that the surge has been an incredible success and dramatic progress is being made every day. But don’t tell that to the Demrats, they literally want the insurgents to win.
