“Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated,”

Yon;

Speaking through an interpreter at a 31 October meeting at the Iraqi Islamic Party headquarters in downtown Baghdad, Sheik Omar said that al Qaeda had been “defeated mentally, and therefore is defeated physically,” referring to how clear it has become that the terrorist group’s tactics have backfired. Operatives who could once disappear back into the crowd after committing an increasingly atrocious attack no longer find safe haven among the Iraqis who live in the southern part of Baghdad. They are being hunted down and killed. Or, if they are lucky, captured by Americans.

Wake me up when the stupid stops.

Even if Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated, and, unlike the shit-eating MIchael Yon, I mean "physically" defeated, not "mentally," ... after five fucking years, it'll still be pretty meaningless, because Al Qaeda in Iraq is a minor factor in the insurgency and to the overall instability and violence that has made the US Occupation such a bloody disaster.

kkkate is the lowest form of life that it is possible for a human to become. What a pathetic, hypocritical stain.
