Wow!... Al-Qaeda in Iraq Admits Attacks Are Down 94% In 1 Year!

From Gateway Pundit:

The Talisman Gate reports that the Jihadists are admitting defeat in Iraq and that attacks are down 94% in the last year:

A prolific jihadist sympathizer has posted an ‘explosive’ study on one of the main jihadist websites in which he laments the dire situation that the mujaheddin find themselves in Iraq by citing the steep drop in the number of insurgent operations conducted by the various jihadist groups, most notably Al-Qaeda’s 94 percent decline in operational ability over the last 12 months when only a year and half ago Al-Qaeda accounted for 60 percent of all jihadist activity!

My Comment: The war in Iraq has clearly shifted from a mainly Al Qaeda / Coalition battle to a Shiite militia / Iraqi government fight. The next battle will be against foreign involvement in Iraqi internal affairs. This drop in fighting is also a result of combat fatigue among all of the parties involved. It has been a very long 5 years .... and counting.
