Diary of an Insurgent In Retreat - washingtonpost.comAnd it detailed a story of loss and woe, of failure and retreat. From riding high and hoping for supremacy to...BAGHDAD, Feb. 9 -- On Nov. 3, U.S. soldiers raided a safe house of the insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq near the northern city of Balad. Not a single combatant was captured, but inside the house they found something valuable: a diary and will written in neat Arabic script.
Well.
Don't know if the guy's alive or dead. Doesn't much matter, I guess - because unless we change our tactics in Iraq, he's dead or imprisoned anyway. It's STILL possible for them to pull off a 'win' in Iraq, if the Dems (and Pelosi) pull a second Viet Nam '75 - but there's a lot of folks watching, and a lot of progress being made, and far from being 'lost', we're close to 'won'.
