It''s very true that the Democrats and Al Qaeda have this in common: Neither can afford for the US to win in Iraq.

They both have too much to lose.

Another idiotic neocon hate radio myth. The lengths you morons go to to rationalize your warmongering.

I consider this article, at face value, to be good news. It''s a great reason to end this thing faster.

I wonder if the military knows the difference between being defeated and going underground/rebuilding?

Once the "surge" is over, we may see another "surge" - this time by al-qaeda.

Any body who ever served in the Military like I did, knows how tiring and trouble some are the road marches.

There are thousands feet high Hindu Kush Mountainous range between Afghanistan and Pakistan. How come a kidney patient, old and sick, OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN climbed those high mountain peaks and escaped from Afghanistan to Pakistan without getting caught by our Military and without being pin pointed by our settalites and CIA?

Can somebody please explain to me, why Bush''''s priority changed from capturing our number one enemy OSAMA BEEN-FORGOTTEN to SADDAM HUSSAIN who never attacked United States and was protecting Minorities like Catholics from Islamic Radicals in his own country ?

Here we have nearly 800 comments for an anonymously authored article, devoid of any verifiable information, and citing only baseless allegations made by unnamed U.S. war criminals, concerning imaginary "terror" groups, as its only foundation.

This article is a true mockery to the concept of journalism. It could be used as a signature example of yellow-journalism for freshman journalism students throughout our country.

Someone apparently feels very strongly that the American people believe in the existance of the fabled "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq", and that they have been defeated, again.

downtowner97,,,, Actually that''s a bit of a stretch, According to the Commandant of the Marine Corps tonight,,, Yes there has been progress, but, Al Queda is definately not defeated,,, They have an amazing ability to regroup......... We shall see, but recognize the hype as the same old hype.

b48151 The article, if you took the time to read it, says that we have captured or killed all Al Qaida in Iraq members and leaders, and that they are so badly beaten they are unlikely to come back, and that they are only attacking our troops an average of 30 times a month. Where are the 30 attacks a month coming from if we''ve captured or killed them all?
