This is a story you probably saw all over the headlines and front pages of major newspapers.  Yes, I am kidding, we know the media would never do major reporting about anyting good in Iraq.

"Al-Qaeda in Iraq faces an "extraordinary crisis". Last year's mass defection of ordinary Sunnis from al-Qaeda to the US military "created panic, fear and the unwillingness to fight". The terrorist group's security structure suffered "total collapse".

These are the words not of al-Qaeda's enemies but of one of its own leaders in Anbar province — once the group's stronghold. They were set down last summer in a 39-page letter seized during a US raid on an al-Qaeda base near Samarra in November."

That is from the Times article, here is some excepts from the letter itself:

"There were almost 600 fighters in our sector before the tribes changed course 360 degrees . . . Many of our fighters quit and some of them joined the deserters . . . As a result of that the number of fighters dropped down to 20 or less."

"We were mistreated, cheated and betrayed by some of our brothers who used to be part of the Jihadi movement, therefore we must not have mercy on those traitors until they come back to the right side or get eliminated completely."

It's obvious that we are on a path to victory, and the defeat of Al-qaeda in Iraq should show that we can win and we will not stand down to their vicious attacks, propaganda, and BS from the liberals.

So how do you define victory in Iraq?   Do all Al-Qaeda surrender?  How will we ever know this?

Victory would mean a stable democracy, terrorism to be kept at a minimum (you will never get rid of it), among a few other points.

Pulling out now would show terrorists that we can be defeated and that we are weak.  Ever wonder who the terrorists (and countries like Iran) are pulling for in '08?

I just might do that, but how about answering the question.
