Do you think we've killed more than 10 Jihadis? If so, we're on par with 9/11. It's much more likely that we've killed thousands of Jihadis, more, in fact, than the number of people we've lost there. If so, on a strictly statistical basis, the war in Iraq has been a HUGE sucess. Remember the recent op in Sammara? HALF of the captured troops there were African Jihadis. That's not an insignificant number.

lets see... so what we've got is that we're over there killing some "jihadis" (i've never heard this word before... is it another new conservative word? like "liberal youthlings? seems to be cons. trend). now, don't you think that for every death we cause that the people feel is unjustified, we're opening up the possibility for creating more. and it's not the smart ones that are going to fight in iraq. they're sitting in their caves or wherever tehy hide, recruiting and training people and planning attacks to take place inside the US while we're distracted with the cattle shooting over in iraq.
a long time ago i heard someone say that if your about to get into a bar fight, don't worry about the asshole that's talking shit. worry about his buddy that's with him whose quiet, watchful... the loud mouth will do something obvious, it's the quiet one who's actually planning how to hurt you.
