For all you who think we are losing the war on terror, have you heard about this?

Al Qaeda Cannibalizing?

A native Iraqi and Middle East expert says the Iraqi insurgency independent of Al Qaeda is being slowly and surely defeated. Nibras Kazimi has worked with the Iraqi National Congress and the country's de-Baathification Commission. He writes in the New York Sun that U.S. and Iraqi military pressure has left insurgents feeling "demoralized, disillusioned and hunted."

He says Al Qaeda is cannibalizing smaller groups and continues to grow. But he says, "Al Qaeda is getting a serious beating as the Americans improve in intelligence gathering and partner with more reliable Iraqi forces." He calls the recent trend a "major accomplishment."

But Kazimi cautions that Al Qaeda terror will continue for many years because the group "will remain oblivious to all evidence of the insurgency's eventual defeat." And he has advice for presumptive new multi-national forces commander David Petraeus

I did not read all of the stuff in your question because I don't read massive questions. However, if your point is that terrorism has been hurt by the free world's efforts I think that is very true and not very well known. I would like to add some other lesser known factoid and that is terrorist propaganda. The heart and soul of terrorist propaganda overseas is quoting American news sources and creating the impression that there is a war in the US against those who oppose Osama Bin Laden. Historians wrote after Gulf War ONe that Saddam went to far against the Allies because he and his analysts watched CNN and believed that the US people would overthrow Bush One if he actually went to war. The terrorists use Dem and media rhetoric in their literature to convince people that our effort against Al Quida is just a splinter group in the US and that the people actually support Al Quida and oppose Bush. Its easy to do there because Bush is a leader and they have no experience with elected officials so he is just another strong man needing overthrown. The Pakistani newspaper quote Dem leaders all the time about how wrong the US is. Osama's terrorist organization has been damaged by the military, intelligence and economic efforts but we lose the propaganda because he can quote our cheesy politician's rants against the US or the speeches of celebs and other idiots who basically take an anti US position as a lifestyle here in the US.

You totalled destroyed your own argument. Why? Because of the line Iraqi National Congress. It was the INC that claimed that our invasion and subsequent stay in Iraq would last less than two years. That we'd be out of there by early 2006 at the latest. In fact, a lot of our bad intel came from or through the INC. If you look now, the INC is nothing more than a puppet organization of Iran. So how can you trust anything they say?

That is one person's opinion. All evidence points to the increasing numbers of insurgents and the increasing number of attacks by them.
