With the Iraqi security forces combing Mosul for jihadis more eager to hide than fight, and some of the jihadis fleeing west to Syria to escape, the situation isn't good for the enemy inside Iraq. Al Qaeda in Iraq knows they're toast.
Heck, even the lead cave dweller Osama bin Laden told the jihadis in Iraq that they're on their own. So sorry, but we just remembered that the Palestinian issue is our priority.
And now, the jihadis cheerleaders are noticing that the jihad seems to have hit some real setbacks in Iraq:
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!
The author, writing under the pseudonym ‘Dir’a limen wehhed’ [‘A Shield for the Monotheist’], posted his ‘Brief Study on the Consequences of the Division [Among] the [Jihadist] Groups on the Cause of Jihad in Iraq’ on May 12 and it is being displayed by the administration of the Al-Ekhlaas website—one of Al-Qaeda’s chief media outlets—among its more prominent recent posts. He's considered one of Al-Ekhlaas's "esteemed" writers.
So the jihad's leader knows they've been beaten in Iraq, and is refocusing their goals.
The jihadis in Iraq can see the writing on the wall, and they are in run or hide mode.
And the jihadi cheerleaders can see that all is not well in Jihadworld, lamenting their decline with helpful graphs.
Now all we need to do is convince all the Baghdad Bobs in Congress and their cheerleaders on the Left that the jihadis aren't marching to victory in Iraq.
Perhaps they need a PowerPoint presentation to grasp the developments in Iraq and get over their denial. Or, for the latter group, hand puppets.
