Is al Qaeda Preparing for a Retreat from Iraq?
Via TigerHawk.
I'm not sure myself, but I've had similar thoughts.
Al Qaeda originally had plans for establishing the next caliphate in Iraq. Now, they are repeating anti-war leftists slogans. When America eventually withdraws, they will claim they are the reason why and claim victory.
In other words, they won't control Iraq but they are trying to project to the rest of the Muslim world that they are strong. That's my take.
There doesn't need to be zero-violence in order to pull out.
