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.
Au contraire my FRiend, just read this from Mr Boe(can’t spell his name, you know who I mean.):
“Meanwhile, one of those congressional Republicans was e-mailing reporters with a different perspective. “Democrats are gathering to celebrate themselves,” wrote Brian Kennedy, a spokesman for Representative John Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader. “As a reminder here’s what they’ve delivered thus far: 47 bills to name things; 45 non-controversial bills with overwhelming GOP support; 15 bills to extend existing laws; 2 bills passed because of GOP strength. Not quite worthy of today’s pomp and circumstance.”
See, they have done a lot. Love this chit, nothing like making the Dims look like idiots.
The real trick would be to make them NOT look like idiots.
To paraphrase Ann Coulter, "If they had any brains, they'd be Republicans."
Our casualties are down. November will be the test month... if we continue with American KIAs in the 30s or less, it will be the first time we’ve seen that since 2003. If that happens then its time to move on to bigger fish - IRAN.
I stand corrected. All the Iraqi congress has done is come to an agreement on how to divide their vast oil revenues. Yeah, Do Nothing Nancy is a non-partisan leader.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Nonsense. The conventional wisdom, loudly trumpeted by Democrats, is that Iraq is a disaster and we can’t win, so we have to leave as soon as possible. So there.
I recall President Bush saying that was the plan back in 2002.
Any other links supporting this?
If so, I want to post this at OTHER forums!
This is great news!!!!!

Iraq WAS A-Qs only chance after Afghanistan was lost and Libya tossed in the towel.
"...The Tribal areas in Pakistan are their last bastion. The news there is not the greatest of late.
But defeating terrorist organizations requires that safe havens be taken away. If the Tribal areas in Pakistan is their last stand, then I say we are closer to winning the war on terror than ever..."
Waziristan, North and South, the so-called 'Tribal-Areas', is possibly the most vermin-infested place on earth, even worse than the West Bank or Gaza. It may well be a last stand for A-Q in more ways than one.
The muzzies threw all they had into Iraq to defeat the continued USA presence there - most of their best and well-trained fighters plus most of their equipment from all over the world. They've all but lost Iraq completely, and Iran is about to be next, and they know it.
Saudi Arabia (wahabbis) is the largest financier of muzzie-terrorism in the world, and they're about to lose all their surrogate states that did their dirty work for them while they pretended to be 'friends' of the USA. The Saudi Royal Family may well flee their country when Iran is dispatched.
Al Qaeda is a shadow of its' former self, and whoever is left will be hunted like rabid dogs in Waziristan after Iran and Syria are ruined. The coming conflict will eliminate Hizbollah, too, and there will be no place left to run to except the bowels that are Waziristan.
It's fitting that they die there ........................... FRegards
Weekend of November 8th or December 7th
“According to Sheik Omar, the Jabouri tribe, too, is actively committed to destroying al Qaeda. So much so, that Jabouri tribal leaders have decided they would “kill their own sons” if any aided al Qaeda.
To underscore the point, he went on to say that about 70 Jabouri “sons” had been killed by the Jabouri tribe so far.”
This is actually the best part of this story as it means that the Iraqi’s on both a persoanl and political level are finally engaging in their own fight for freedom.
God bless their efforts

“We need to get the word out. The WH has to speak out more forcefully. This war is too important to be lost to the media deceivers.”
This administration has been very weak in communicating facts to our citizens, about this war. Bush is in charge, so I guess he is where the buck stops.
Since he is shall we say inconsistent as a communicator, he could (and should) delegate to others.
Incorrect.
We’ll only know that Al Qaeda has been defeated when Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid show up to take credit for it.
