In my heart of hearts I hope it's true, but there doesn't seem to be the enthusiasm there that you would think would come with such good news which leaves me to believe maybe it is suspect. Besides the general who say we've crippled AQ is the same general that said Mission Accomplished a few months after the war began and well we know how accurate that was.
On the old BN we had the victory in Iraq thread. Because of the import of that issue I would like to continue a discussion of the War. If the news of the demise of Al'qaida is correct then some progress is being made. However some commanders dismiss it as wishful thinking. For right now the US militarycasualties are down and that is a plus. Lets hope that trend continues.
