The the term “scourge of humanity” is becoming highly applicable to al-Qaeda. They have been pushed on their way out of Iraq for months now and their last remnants are in now grasping to hang on in Northern Iraq. They are doing their usual bloodthirsty thing and making it easier and easier for the US to garner alliances with the Iraqi Mulims Street. Today they were again able to take out a few allies of the US in Diyala:

A woman suicide bomber killed 16 people on Friday when she blew herself up in the office of a group fighting Al-Qaeda in central Iraq, days after the jihadi group warned of a new bombing campaign.

It is apparent that were al-Qaeda exists their is bloodshed and where it has been purged their is peace and reconciliation starting up. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the pattern here.

al-Qaeda is trying to make good on their recent threat to carpet suicide bomb Iraq in December and January. They have started off strong – let’s see if they can sustain it. But the fact is it is wasteful effort. They are just slaughtering more Muslims, which in turn pushes more Muslims towards the US-Iraq government side. There are 70,000 Sunni volunteers out protecting their communities from al-Qaeda, willing to hunt al-Qaeda down and kill them. The loss of 16 of these brave Arabs trying to change the course of Islam from the depravity of Bin Laden’s sick visions is terrible – but it cannot stop the tide that has already swept across Iraq. There is no putting that genie back into its bottle. al-Qaeda is just re-emphasizing why the world – Muslims included – must rid the Earth of their pestilence.
