Is the Surge a Success?

The jihadists seem to think so. Ace points the way to a fascinating look at the attitude and morale on the other side of the war. It's not a pretty picture for them.

A prolific jihadist sympathizer has posted an ‘explosive’ study on one of the main jihadist websites in which he laments the dire situation that the mujaheddin find themselves in Iraq by citing the steep drop in the number of insurgent operations conducted by the various jihadist groups, most notably Al-Qaeda’s 94 percent decline in operational ability over the last 12 months when only a year and half ago Al-Qaeda accounted for 60 percent of all jihadist activity!

The chart on the Talisman Gate blog says it all.  Their operational capacity has been severely reduced since the start of the surge.  They have been run out of one stronghold after another, culminating with Maliki personally overseeing the current front against AQI in Mosul.  A front he had to leave in order to meet with Rep. Pelosi in Baghdad.  The good thing is that even Pelosi is finally succombing to the overwhelming evidence and acknowledging that the surge is working - something that even the jihadists have understood for some time now.
