AQ has placed its bets on chaos. That’s actually a fairly astute bet, and it’s one they are likely to win. Seems to me that AQ and the Iranians stupidly and prematurely placed their bets in April on a ragged band of Sadrists, Baathists, and Ansarists. It was a dumb bet that is in the process of being defeated by a combination of cunning US maneuvers, which included a strategic retreat at Fallujah and ongoing, terribly effective but slow piecemeal destruction of the insurgents in which anti-Sadr Shiites are assisting the US. You now doubt failed to see the report that Sadr waved a white flag recently. The media did not exactly, ah, focus on it. It appears that the US responded by capturing his lieutenant. We are kicking ass in Iraq--no one wants to make the point in this election cycle. Sure, AG was a disaster. So what. In the big picture of things, it is not very relevant.
