Been there, done that.
- Islamic Terrorist attacks down everywhere
- Support of Homicide bombers down
- Support of AlQeada by the Suuni populace down
- no attacks on U.S. soil since 911 (which is truely a shocker to me)
- MOST importantly (since it was never remotely possible to hunt down and kill every terrorist), the Muslim community is looking less and less supportive of militant Islam and its actions, even when aimed at the evil great satan, the U.S. THAT's where the war will be won. NOT by sheer military force, but by changing the hearts and minds of the Muslim comminity, as it relates to those who have hijacked their religion, mutated it, and in the name of Allah, kill anyone who's not converted or subjgated by Islam
Doesnt' equate to some raging success, far from it, so don't try pulling up all the negatives that have occured, and the attacks that still occur, and the deaths that still occur. Point being that the surge is working, and the over all effect the war on Terror and in Iraq has had, is starting to pay huge dividends for the rest of the world
