I suspect that is true. According to the CPA in Iraq, less than 5% of those captured or killed seem to be foreign terrorists, which suggests that Al Qaida is severely weakened and unable to flood Iraq with its operatives.........

If that is true, ("Al Qaida is 70% gone, their days are numbered"), what happened to "generational" battle that we were told to expect? I don't know if Al Qaeda is as broken as that article suggests. Perhaps so. I tend to think that they are stronger than that, though, just convalescing in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan and the islands of Indonesia and the jungles of Thailand. Hydras don't die, they spring in in places and times you don't really expect.
