Is Al Qaeda Losing?
This interesting article up at Human Events makes an interesting observation about Al Qaeda’s own views on its current situation:
The letter features al Qaeda’s usual religious panegyrics, but also contains strong evidence of fear, doubt and impending defeat. It seems five years of continual defeat (and that is what the record is) have shaken the 9-11 certitude of al Qaeda’s senior fanatics.
Don’t expect to see this positive assessment in the mass news media anytime soon – but it is worth reading
But as the earlier Al Qaeda piece’s link said , Iraqi Sunni tribal
fighting against Al Qaeda has not lessened attacks by the
resistance against US troops.
