Over at Al Qaeda’s own website, they’re discussing how Al Qaeda has lost the Iraqi war.

Al Qaeda web sites are making a lot of noise about "why we lost in Iraq." Western intelligence agencies are fascinated by the statistics being posted in several of these Arab language sites. Not the kind of stuff you read about in the Western media.

No, you certainly won’t read about this in the mainstream western media. But, it’s even worse for Al Qaeda. Not only have they lost, but they’ve gotten the snot beaten out of them!

According to al Qaeda, their collapse in Iraq was steep and catastrophic. According to their stats, in late 2006, al Qaeda was responsible for 60 percent of the terrorist attacks, and nearly all the ones that involved killing a lot of civilians. The rest of the violence was carried out by Iraqi Sunni Arab groups, who were trying in vain to scare the Americans out of the country.

 

 

Today, al Qaeda has been shattered, with most of its leadership and foot soldiers dead, captured or moved from Iraq. As a result, al Qaeda attacks have declined more than 90 percent. Worse, most of their Iraqi Sunni Arab allies have turned on them, or simply quit. This "betrayal" is handled carefully on the terrorist web sites, for it is seen as both shameful, and perhaps recoverable.

 

 

As they say, read the whole thing. Then when some liberal starts spouting off about how the war in Iraq has nothing to do with fighting terrorism, and hasn’t made us any safer, you can open fire with both barrels.
