Al Qaeda "Desperate" in Iraq

All major US networks have all but ceased reporting in Iraq, now that news has become incrementally better, however Al Jazeera, if it can be trusted continues to report. According to Al Qaeda themselves, in Iraq:

We proclaim to the Islamic nation the martyrdom of the leader Abu Usama al-Tunisi, one of the longest-serving fighters of the Jihad [in Iraq].

Al Tunisi was in charge of foreign fighters moving into Iraq. One US general said a note was found at the scene which beckoned for help saying:
He's surrounded, communications have been cut and he's desperate for help.

In other operations, US forces killed 18 and captured 28 terrorists in Diyala and in Salahaddin they killed 8 and captured 7.

Yep - sounds like Democrats know what they're talking about. Democrats (actually all politicians0 should ask themselves some questions in the run-up to elections. One, are Al Qaeda considered terrorists? Two, are they a threat? Three, is Al Qaeda only considered a threat in Afghanistan or is it possible that Al Qaeda must be considered a threat elsewhere? And lastly, if Al Qaeda is a threat, and they are in Iraq, as everyone now admits, why shouldn't we fight them there?
