PJ Media is reporting a substantial withdrawl from Baghdad by al Qaeda forces:
Al Qaeda terrorists are fleeing Baghdad in advance of President Bush’s 21,500-man troop surge, a senior military intelligence officer told Pajamas Media today. Under orders from the al Qaeda commander in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, fighters are streaming toward the Diyala region of Iraq.
Diyala is near what country? Anybody?
Initially, the intelligence officer informed Pajamas, the Baghdad-based AQ fighters did not want to leave. Al-Masri had to send unequivocal orders for their retreat, adding that one of the lessons from the Fallujah campaign was that Americans have learned how to prevail in house-to-house fighting. Masri said that remaining in Baghdad was a ‘no-win situation’ for the terrorists.
What's most confusing about this is that we are led to believe daily that a) there is no al Qaeda in Iraq, which is a distraction from the real war on terror and b) the war in Iraq is already lost.
