4,000 dead terrorists is a bad thing?

The new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq said in an audio message posted on a Web site Thursday that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. It was believed to be the first major statement from insurgents in Iraq about their losses.

“The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight,” said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al- Muhajir _ also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri _ the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The voice could not be independently identified.

I’m not so sure on those numbers, since there are no corroborating facts. But if al-Qaida is willing to admit losing that many, I bet there are actually many more dead jihadi dimwits.

Even so, will someone in the anti-war crowd tell me how Iraq isn’t part of the “war on terror” if we’ve killed over 4,000 al-Qaida terrorists there since 2003?
