I saw this article on Publius Rendezvous.
Al Qaeda in Iraq and its presumed leader, Abu Musab Zarqawi, have conceded strategic defeat and are on their way out of the country, a top U.S. military official contended yesterday.
The group’s failure to disrupt national elections and a constitutional referendum last year “was a tactical admission by Zarqawi that their strategy had failed,” said Lt. Gen. John R. Vines, who commands the XVIII Airborne Corps.
This comes from the Washington Times. This sounds really hard to believe. But wouldn’t it be nice? Don’t wake me up just yet. It certainly is a change from a video that was released this week by Ayman al-Zawahiri but probably made last November.
Al Qaeda’s deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, urged all Muslims to support insurgents fighting in Iraq “for the dignity of Islam” and said the “enemy has begun to falter,” according to a video posted yesterday on the Internet.
I still want to crush them like the cockroaches they are. Did I just offend someone? I’m sure I must have. From what I understand, a liberal is offended approximately every 3 seconds. Was I just insensitive to cockroaches? Or was I unfairly stereotyping all Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists?
