al Qaeda, al Qaeda, al Qaeda

Michael Yon - I have seen the horror

Al Qaeda is guilty of monstrosities in Iraq - no matter what anyone says

When it comes to Iraq, being there matters because of the massive disconnect between what most Americans think they know about Iraq, and what is actually going on there.

Clearly, not every terrorist in Iraq is Al Qaeda, but it is Al Qaeda that has been intentionally, openly, brazenly trying to stoke a civil war. As Al Qaeda is now being chased out of regions it once held without serious challenge, their tactics are tinged with desperation.

Anyone who says Al Qaeda is not one of the primary problems in Iraq is simply ignorant of the facts.

Way to go, Jon Soltz.
