Al Qaeda in Iraq faltering according to captured document
Some are questioning the authenticity of the document, but agree with the premise nonetheless...
Most seem to think the document could just be propaganda but don't think the premise is too far from the truth. A US military statement that accompanied the released document added that even though bombings grab the media attention, recruiting has become more difficult because a majority of Iraqis don't support the jihadis, that there's dissent and disillusionment in the terrorists' ranks, and a split between al Qaeda in Iraq and the domestic Iraqi resistance. Looks like divide and conquer could be a goal of ours here. The more in fighting there is within the terrorist camps and between the terrorist camps, the less effective they are. |
