Terrorist Apprentice

Abu Musab al Zarqawi was "fired" as the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq. It seems that the judgement of the other side is that his tactics haven't been working.

Isn't it funny how the Democrats and our media haven't thought this was the case? Oh no! Quagmire! Civil war! Meanwhile terrorists are forcing their own leadership to step down because of a lack of results. But of course our news isn't giving us a one-sided look at the war. Of course not. Who says so? Well they do. When the NBC New York talking head interviews the NBC Baghdad correspondent, the Baghdad Bureau tool says of course the MSM is doing a great job. "We swear we're doing a good job over here Brock, back to you in the studio." Yeah. I think not.

UPDATE: Yes you can take the position that things are awful in Iraq and Zarqawi is being "promoted" to chief file clerk in the basement of Al Qaeda International. But frankly casualties in Iraq don't bear the promotion thesis out. At worst they were holding steady. At best US casualties have been dropping for several months from a local high late last year.
