Al Qaeda Plays Nicer

HA! It is nice to have AQ on the defense and admitting it. Will the Media finally start admitting this? Or are these successes all another Bush Plot to steal the election?

Counter-Terrorism: Al Qaeda Plays Nicer: "Al Qaeda Plays Nicer

February 11, 2008: An example of how grim things are for al Qaeda, and other Sunni Arab Islamic terrorist groups in Iraq, they have radically changed their tactics. The only area where the Islamic terrorists still have any strength is in northern Iraq, just below the Kurdish controlled region. There, and in western Iraq, the terrorists have begun to issue warning to civilians before a bomb goes off. These attacks are usually directed at the security forces or foreign troops. It's a big inconvenience to warn local civilians, because that makes it clear to the people being attacked that something is coming. The Islamic terrorists are also making fewer attacks on the Iraqi police, who tend to be Sunni Arabs in this part of the country. Attacks have been shifted to the Army (which is largely Kurdish and Shia) and the Americans. The Islamic radicals have also stopped killing or abusing civilians who do not adopt a sufficiently conservative Islamic lifestyle. This is painful for the Islamic terrorists, because the main reason for their violence is to establish a conservative Islamic lifestyle, and enforce it."
