Is Osama Getting Desparate About Iraq ?

Bill Roggio has a couple posts looking at OBL's latest missive to his brothers in murder in Iraq. He admits mistakes and laments that his jihad is getting its ass kicked in Iraq and Afganistan not only by our forces but by the locals, poor guy. Not only that but it appears the Bhutto and Musharef are united in crushing AQ in Pakistan. Bhutto has supporters among the local Taliban which originated there, the Taliban are local, AQ is OBL's small army of outsiders and some local thugs that have found shelter among these rugged tribesmen, they have different goals and ideologies and the rift is growing as locals are losing the stomach for AQ's brand of Islam. The next few monthes are going to be interesting as OBL's circle gets smaller and smaller he has nowhere to go but Iran where he would basically be under house arrest unable to preach his radical wahabist suni in a radical shia state. He would have a tough time getting to Africa now with the price on his head same with Mullah Omar and Zawahiri. His recruits are getting sent to satan by the thousands a month and inflicting little if any real damage to Coalition forces and we have no way of knowing how many of the wounded die later or can't fight anymore or are killed by their leader when they try to quit.
Go read Bill's posts plus there is always lots of other news at his Long War Journal.
