Sadness, yet with hope

The recent attack in Mosul is heart breaking. So many valorous lives snuffed out in bright flash. The good folks at POWERLINE have a letter from a major at CENTCOM. In it, he quotes General Abizaid.

We have the enemy down on his back and we are choking him to death. He can still scratch at our arms and draw blood but he cannot alter his fate. Only we can relieve him of his doom by letting up. If we stay the course, he will die.

It is clear that this attack can have no military value. Instead, it is an attack on the American public’s psyche. It is an attempt to convince the Americans they cannot win in Iraq and to leave Iraq to the terrorists.

So, how are the terrorists doing?
