Al-Qaeda 'coming to end in Iraq'

The killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi marks the "beginning of the end" of al-Qaeda
in Iraq, the country's national security adviser has said.

Mowafaq al-Rubaie said the seizure of documents after the raid that killed Zarqawi
provided key information about the militant group and its leaders.

"Now we have the upper hand," he told a news conference in Baghdad.

Iraqi Adviser: Govt on Attack Vs. al-Qaida


Thursday June 15, 2006 9:31 AM

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's national security adviser said Thursday
that information found at the hideout of slain terror leader Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi would allow the Iraqi government to destroy the al-Qaida
terror organization in Iraq.

Iraqi National Security adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie said documents found
at the hideout have provided valuable information about the terror
organization and its leaders.

"They did not anticipate how powerful the Iraqi security forces are and
how the governmen is on the attack now," al-Rubaie said at a news conference.

He said the new information would enable the government "to destroy al-Qaida
and to finish this terrorist organization in Iraq."

1. Have we turned the corner yet? (EOM)

[Bluebear]

4. Yes, they are "in their last throes".

And we smoked them out of their holes.

[Lasher]

7. Mission accomplished, then!

I'm glad Iraq is paying for its own reconstruction with its oil revenues. And that it's a matter of time till we find those mountains of WMDs. :rofl:

2. May I just say...

bwahahahahahahaha!

All the documents they found became valueless as soon as Zarqawi was 'killed'. Any reasonably competent guerilla force knows about the importance of compartmentalization and tight cellular organization.

Who the hell do the BushCo puppets think they're fooling?

3. Iraq security stood up, bring our troops home

That's what Bush said, every indication is that it's the perfect time to start bringing our troops home. Iraq can fight the terrorists on their own.

5. They were never very strong there.

Most of the violence we see is a civil war, not the result of outside terrorist groups.

6. Ding, Ding, Ding........We have a winner!

You hit the nail on the head and this is why the violence will continue.
