Al Qaeda defeated?

HEY MAN it,s just a start.it,s a long over due.AL-QUAIDA is so far not defeated niether in IRAQ nor in AFGHANISTAN bcoz they,ve a very strong network throughout da WORLD n especially in AFGHANISTAN.so it,s just a start so AMERICAN leadres should think about it n now they should realise dat they,ve done a wrong thing.BUSH is no 1 Terrorist ov da WORLD.he said IRAQ have weapons ov Mass destruction, now where r da weapons ov Mass destruction?similarly American Agencies did blast a WTC in NY n BUSH was involved in dis massive curruption but he said Taliban did all these destruction n he attacked AFGHANISTAN.now he should face the MUSIC...

Defeating Al Qaeda is not the real problem.We have to find a proper solution for the sufferings of Iraqi innocent people.Now terrorist are operating from different corners of the world and there is no good or bad terrorist.If we differentiate terrorist,the terrorism will never ends.Some countries are supporting terrorist and arranging hideouts for them.Double stands against terrorist is creating all the problems.

It is long over due. We have needed to hear some good news from the middle-east for a long time! Now watch this type of news never make the US news. I hope I am wrong but if it doesn't then that makes you think. Who is deciding what does and doesn't make news headlines here??

who ever has won or lost .... but what about those innocent peoples who lost lives and who lost house and peace.

Looking around the site, it certainly seems the writer is trying to give a balanced view of the war. He doesn't make excuses for torturers or claim Iraq is the happiest place on earth. But haven't we heard this repeatedly since the war started? "Al Qaeda's on the run" and other versions of that statement? I'd love for it to be true, but this article only mentions the situation in southern Baghdad and what one tribe is doing in opposition to Al Qaeda. That being said, if it is true, then if the US can make sure those Blackwater guys stop making more people hate us, things will be looking up.

If this is factual, then al-Qaeda has lost the struggle for the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. That leaves the cleaning up, which means that either al-Qaeda will withdraw from Iraq or they will be killed. I think this is a good thing and shows that desirable progress is being made. Muslims and Americans can work together for the common good of both as long as we recognize the core differences in our beliefs, and do not allow those differences to adversely affect our way of life. I do believe that i this context, this is what has been needed all along, and if the Iraqis want peace, then the only way to get that peace is by getting al-Qaeda out of Iraq altogether. These groups are what is causing all of the Iraqi deaths, and as long as they are allowed to flourish, then peace in Iraq is unachievable.

This is just one of many examples of how perseverence and methodical work in Iraq is starting to pay off. Many have been very impatient with this war, expecting overnight results. This is the kind of thing we are going to see more and more of. This is why it is ever so important that we keep plugging at it instead of turning like cowards and running from it. Things are working.
