Actually the word being used is 'Al Qaeda in Iraq' so as to separate a Muslim Brotherhood movement from something completely different called Al Qaeda. There is no Al Qaeda in Iraq. There are Muslim fundamentalists. Oh. And they amount to almost none of the combatants - estimated at numbers between 300 and 1000. So near zero as to be considered zero – except where George Jr (Cheney) hypes lies and fears.
Iraq is in civil war among many groups with political interests. Al Qaeda has almost nothing to do with so many parties vying for control of the country. Those groups will never go away. All are waiting for 'their time'. Most agree with on only one thing - they don't want Americans except when Americans are in their town protecting their town from other political militias.
Al Qaeda is the expression to hype a mythical enemy. If we don't stop them there, then they will come here. Only problem with that reasoning - they are not the big bad mythical Al Qaeda that George Jr uses to promote ravenous 'mouth dripping' support from Urbane Guerrilla.
