John,

You have quite an imagination... AQ with maybe 5000 people is going to take over the Middle East. Against the establishment and against popular opinion in those countries. BTW the word "capitulation" may inflame you but it doesn't mean shit to me, so using it twice in one sentence is pretty much a waste of your time. AQ was never going to "win" in Iraq and you know it.

Your pre-Obama opinion was:

We are not "Mike Tyson" in Iraq. We have only proved that our vaulted military can't beat a ragtag insurgency. Our bite used to be considered worse than our bark. Now our bite is emasculated. The whole Muslim and Western world is watching us LOSE to a bunch of insurgants. What's left of the leverage of our threat?

Joe
