Good News in Today's Tragedy

The Iraqi division of al Qaeda went on a spree today. Last I heard over 160 people had died in the terrorist attacks. As bad as it was, there is also some good news from Iraq. al Qaeda says it was revenge for the Iraqi and American attacks on the town of Tal-Afar. Those Iraqi led attacks have killed or captured over 500 terrorists.

So what is significant about this you might ask? The terrorists being killed and captured in Tal Afar are young and inexperienced. Why? Because the older and more experienced terrorists have been taken out of the fight - one way or another.

Donald Rumsfeld once wondered if we are killing and capturing terrorists faster than we are creating them. I think we can now make a tentative answer to that question.

Yes.
