al qaeda seems to have made a critical strategic error: it has set a deadline for the withdrawal of foreign troops from iraq.
as the president explained last month, setting a timetable to withdraw troops from iraq would be "conceding too much to the enemy." now that al qaeda has gone and done it, they've conceded too much to us. woo-hoo! now all we have to do is wait them out.
it's nice to know that victory is finally just around the corner.
