| This is one of the underestimated successes of the ongoing Coalition initiative. When the terrorists suffer casualties this is dismissed by the critical left noting how with rising provocation, recruiting among terrorists is way up and thousands stand ready to fill the shoes of every martyr. I noted how a substantial number of the top level Al Qaedars had been killed or captured, that this signalled some advances in the initiative against international terrorism. Zarqawi is up there at the top levels, he will have to be replaced. With thousands at the ready to fill those shoes, choices will have to be made. Those choices will favour one or another contender and this should provoke some unrest. Unrest among terrorists will have beneficial effects for the Coalitioneers. |
