Deconstructing Zawahiri
Austin Bay offers the definitive look at the Zawahiri letter. Writes Bay:
Zawahiri vacillates. At one level he knows Al Qaeda's losing. But the US may buckle, folks, cut and run like Vietnam. Heck, Boxer, Sheehan, Kennedy, and the DailyKos, give Zawahiri hope.
Zawahiri understands that Iraq is now the critical battleground, and he hasn't given up on the vision of the caliphate......
The genius of the war in Iraq is a brutal but necessary form of strategic judo: It brought the War on Terror into the heart of the Middle East and onto Arab Muslim turf.
