It is imo quite necessary to poke holes in the immense Arab capacity for self-delusion and purely rhetorical triumphs, and give those brave jihadis a reality check. I guess its pointless to remind you that the 9/11 attackers did not hail from Iraq. Neither new recruits, nor their leaders, are going to be any less inclined to attack the US as a result of Iraq - whether its a "catastrophic success" or not. In fact, if Iraq had perfectly come about - without a shot fired and embraced each and every "coalition" soldier - do you honestly believe that a group like al Qaeda would lose one bit of its resolve? Hardly likely. They are just a patient bunch.
