…in the Unites States, the terrorists are losing ground. It must suck being them…
The Enemy Is Losing “…The general said that no one knows for sure who launched the attack in Baghdad’s heavily fortified International Zone. “We’ve … seen the reports that al Qaeda in Iraq have in fact claimed it,” he said. “My guess is, based on past events, they were probably somewhat involved, but we don’t know for sure yet.”
He said al Qaeda in Iraq is trying to undermine the feeling of security Iraqis are developing as a result of the Baghdad security plan.
“It’s not about one or two single events, it’s about an overall feeling of security you get in your neighborhood,” he said. “And we’re tackling this neighborhood by neighborhood.
“It’s allowing the people to understand that they feel protected inside their neighborhood first, the fact that their kids can go to school, they can go to the hospital, they can go down to the markets,” he continued. “That’s what we’re working on. We’re still not there yet even in those areas. In some areas we are in Baghdad, they do feel comfortable. There’s other areas they don’t yet. And that’s a day-to-day operation.”
Al Qaeda wants to undermine security, Odierno said…”
