IRAQ: Al Qaeda's Graveyeard

June 29, 2004: Iraqi terrorists released a video showing them killing a captive American soldier by shooting him in the head. The terrorists have learned that the beheading routine is counterproductive and even offends many of their own supporters. The terrorists are probably also debating their suicide bombing campaign, which has killed over a hundred Iraqis in the past week. Perhaps the al Qaeda leadership is also pondering their long string of failures over the last decade or so. The fact of the matter is that al Qaeda, and their predecessor, the Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt, have turned Arab populations against them whenever they practiced their terror tactics "at home." Moreover, when al Qaeda was in control of the government, as they were in Afghanistan, they quickly became hated by the average Afghan. Al Qaeda was most popular in Arab countries when it was not operating in any Arab countries, but instead concentrating on attacks on Western targets. But the war on terror has forced al Qaeda back to its homelands, and concentrated them in Iraq. There, al Qaeda is becoming as hated as it already is in the West. This hatred led to the Moslem Brotherhood's defeat, and expulsion from Egypt over a decade ago. The same thing is happening again in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Recent surveys have shown support for bin Laden and al Qaeda shrink dramatically in Saudi Arabia (from 96 percent in late 2001, to less than a quarter of that currently.) It's easy to admire terrorists from a distance, rather more difficult when they are terrorizing you. Iraq is rapidly becoming al Qaeda's graveyard.

No Iraq was a mistake in the WOT. Man i wish liberals could hear themselves speak so they know what asses they are.

I thought the release of the Turkish men was interesting. They proved that however evil,they will back down at some point. If more of the Arab world would actually speak out,I believe it would really dampen their efforts. They have to know they will loose this war on terror.

Great article, KA.

IF, like everyone claims, most muslims are decent people that tolerate other races & religions, they won't stand for those animals operating from their neighborhoods.

We shall see.

The Saudi arena will be most interesting in the months to come, I'm thinking.

...or from anywhere else for that matter. If the Arab world is truly sick of this, the Arab world can stop it.

If they had not been Muslim hostages I might would have agreed with you. I think their releasing the Turks just proves this is a religious war from their point of view.
