Light at the end of the tunnel.

For those of you who can read an objective, non-Bushbashing article about the war against Al Qeada in Iraq (yes dear readers, we are fighting, capturing and killing many non-Iraqi AQ soldiers in Iraq), please read this. I completely agree that mistakes were made in some areas of the initial post-invasion fight and occupation but on the other hand, it's also very easy to use the old crystal ball of hindsight and say 'We should or shouldn't have done this or that.' However, we seem to have put the right leadership in place and most of military units have been there at least once but most importantly, the soldiers and Marines on the front lines, the grunts, have multiple tours and invaluable experience fighting and killing AQI. They aren't the fierce, fleeting dedicated enemy ghosts they once were. The Iraqis realize that AQI is basically a criminal enterprise (blackmarket gas, murder and intimidation) and not some pure islamic group fighting for a better Iraq so they tell us info about who and where they are. AQI is on the run, fighting for their survival while we are doing what we do best.
