Unlike you, Zawahiri understands what war is. He has a strong preference for victory, which he will claim loudly and credibly the minute the US withdraws, whatever the circumstances on the ground in Iraq. That is why the US must be seen to defeat al Qaeda in Iraq. This is happening as more and more Iraqis turn against them. The outcome is uncertain - unless we opt for defeat by cutting and running. I agree that al Qaeda is losing in Iraq. But they are losing, as we've noted time and again, because the Sunnis of Anbar finally decided they had enough of those lunatics, and to get rid of them. Al Qaeda doesn't stand a chance in Iraq--neither the Shia nor most of the Sunnis can stand them. The outcome isn't "uncertain," and our "cutting and running" has nothing to do with it. That's your talking point. And you "understand what war is," don't you? You of so many "tipping points" over the years that I can't even count them. Cute. How many predictions can you make that turn out to be wrong before you acknowledge that you were just wrong about this war?
