AQ On Run In Iraq And Heading To Pakistan For Their Destruction
Liberals seem to be as bad with history as they are with math. Many claim we have let Afghanistan and Pakistan go wanting as we diverted our energies in Iraq. The truth is AQ designated Iraq their key battleground and shifted their resources and fighters there – where they have been decimated and cling to small areas in the North. The fact is Afghanistan and Pakistan have become the center of AQ activities because that is where they ran to when they were defeated. But there is no sanctuary there either. This is a view shared by many paying attention:
The U.S. government still believes Iraq is the main battle, even though the terrorists are on the run there and suffering heavy losses. In Afghanistan, or, actually, across the border in Pakistan, al Qaeda has established bases it was unable to maintain in Iraq. Some of the terrorist camps in Pakistan have been there since 2002, but al Qaeda, admitting defeat in Iraq, has sifted people, cash and energy to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
They are beaten, smaller and retreating. The growing numbers in Pakistan and Afghanistan is the result of their losses in Iraq and the retreat back to the places they arose from. The fact is they fled into a grist mill in Afghanistan:
The terrorists are having a very different experience on each side of the border. In Afghanistan, the Taliban and al Qaeda are betting beaten. High losses, and lost influence, mark the past few years operations in Afghanistan. In Pakistan, there is much less police and military influence with the terrorists, and the tribal areas along the border have become a rest and rebuilding area for the Taliban and al Qaeda.
…
The victories in Afghanistan come largely because of the 70,000 U.S. and NATO troops there. The Afghan army only has 70,000 troops. Well trained, by regional standards, the soldiers are used all over the country. … The Taliban cannot win by running, and if they stand and fight, they die. Al Qaeda thinks they can win using suicide and roadside bombs. This strategy failed in Iraq, mainly because of the large number of Iraqi civilians killed. The terrorists are killing lots of Afghans the same way in Afghanistan, and with the same result.
They are being chased into ever smaller enclaves where they can be surrounded and systematically destroyed. To say Iraq was a diversion is like saying France and Italy were diversions in World War II, that we should have focused on Germany only. We had to beat the Nazis in the field before we tool the fight to Germany and Berlin. This obvious fact of how todefeat an enemy is what the liberals seem unable to grasp. Or more likely, afraid to admit.
Iran is so grateful for fools like Strata. Bush got rid of their effective
Sunni fascist enemy, (who also kept AJ’s scarecrow at bay,) handed the government to pro-Iranian Shias to form a far more dangerous anti-American, anti-Israeli combine than ragtag jihadists could have ever hoped to construct-even as Afghanistan and Pakistan became increasingly destabilized and the US military so sappped of strength,
recruitment criteria had to be lowered to compensate.
And he calls it victory.
H2T,
Boy, your denial is making you seriously delusional. Maybe you should see a doctor.
Beating AQ is a bad thing now? Which means letting them win is a good thing? Did you think that up all by yourself?
Yes AJ I think he thought that up all by himself!
Great posts, thanks for gathering all the info.
So now they are gathered in the bad lands of Pakistan… not quite as palacious as Iraq. Poor guys!
America is neither “beating” militant Sunni jihadists on a worldwide basis, nor winning politically against militant Shia Iran’s growing power. Clear?
For every expert you can cite who says total jihad membership
is down, I can cite several who say the opposite. And the civilian Islamic governments also are more anti-American than
in , say, 2001. Examples: Turkey, Pakistan.
The Islamic world man-on-the-street tells us and Michael Scheuer verifies it, a more effective way to lessen anti-American animus which seeps into jihad is, to force Israel off the West Bank and Samaria, to cease subsidizing onerous governments in their regions, e.g. the Egyptian, cease interfering in elections, as per attempting to counter Hamas’ win versus Fatah, quit generally meddling and come home. Just the opposite of what you suicidally advocate.
So Truthy who cares if the number of jihadies are up, more sickos to deal with, like chase them until they can’t run any more. Soon they will realize we aren’t playing tag.
spinning bloody wheels.
Notice, once again, that for T2T it’s all about the EVIL JEWS!!!
That’s Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo’s!!
It really sounds to me like The Idiot(s) (T2T et al) are looking for a ticket to the war. Perhaps a recruitment station or something.
In a similar vein, I wonder where their ISP might dwell?
Dorf77,
Be careful…when you upset Truthy he starts with the threats…aren’t you scared? (sarc)
Whipped
If we were using real names I could have you in a court of law. You can’t find one supportive reference to “AQ,†of mine, but you can find the claim supported by the Iraqis themselves in many polls, and by experts like General William Odom, that they can clean out foreign jihadists after we leave more effeciently than we can.

TRUTHHALFBAKED: post away, thanks to me, you have the Constitutional Right to not only be an Anti-American/Pro-Jihadi Leftist Traitor Nutbag, which you ARE, but also a Constitutional Right to be a complete and utter imbecile, which you PROVE, every time you post!
Good job, keep posting, and know that I gave you the right to be stupid as well, as you so aptly demonstrate!
AJ, keep up the great work you are doing reporting on the good news others refuse to report because they like Truth would rather see the US defeated. People like Truth have no clue what is going on in Iraq or Afgan; just another arm chair general know-nothing with shit for brains pin-head liberal.
THere is more going on in Afgan we know nothing about, nor is it allowed to be discussed. Also, I have not seen any news about the Defense Minister of the Netherlands son being killed in Afgan by an IED Friday. I learned this news from my husband who is serving in Afgan and also some other sad news that has not been released yet. However, the US and coalition forces ARE winning this war in Afgan and Iraq and Truth doesnt know what the hell he is talking about!

Dale and Strata:
How you guys like this?– 6 of 10 Americans say how Iraq turns out has nothing to do with the war on terrorism.
Soon we’ll get the majority off this Israeli-sponsored “war on terrorism”
writ large. By the way, you did catch the MSM story yesterday
with Benji Netanyahooo admitting Israel was the beneficiary of 9/11?
He didn’t mention though, Mossad had runners following the hijackers around America in the months preceding, as Raimondo outlines in his book on 9/11. Wonder if they just lost track of them…
Truthy’s a Truther too.
Gee, who woulda thunk?
Truthy,
Tsk, tsk, tsk. You know, if you’re going to reference all these nutbags you really should do your research. It’s not difficult to ferret out those who change their stories to suit their agenda. And your repertoire is filled with these loons… and now you’re a Truther too!
Good God man, get some help…

Bubba, I could get 6 of 10 Americans to support banning hydrogen hydroxide if I worded the questions right.
Wrong again, whipped. “Truthers” are MIHOP, controlled demolition and no-planers, not LIHOP-and Raimondo has criticised their theories.

or if you botched a war based on what the majority rightly regards as lies for five years.
Wrong again, Truthy! You win the prize for being the dumbest arrogant anti-american!

From Wikipedia on the Truther movement:
“Characteristics
Beliefs
Frequently expressed propositions among movement supporters are that the mainstream account of the events of 9/11 is false and that the perceived anomalies in the official account can better be explained by the theory that a “rogue network,”[6] including individuals in the US government planned, carried out, and covered up the attack or deliberately allowed the attacks to take place. “
http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/975574.html
Funny how the posters here find no fault with a Jewish racist bragging about 9/11 helping Israel and accusing Iran falsely in conspiracy mode, even though Jews constantly claim they are the most libelled people in history by conspiracy theorists.
The 9/11 Truth Committee of Jim Fetzer and Stephen Jones are
dominated by MIHOP controlled demolitionists who never promote
LIHOP when making their case on any venue.
