State of Iraq Via a Dead Al-Zarqawi's Secrets

Great news from Iraq is coming out from the intel found around a blown-up Al-Zarqawi, per AP/MyWay:

Iraq's national security adviser said Thursday a "huge treasure" of documents and computer records was seized after the raid on terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hideout, giving the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq.............


Huge is good...............more:

National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also said he believed the security situation in the country would improve enough to allow a large number of U.S.-led forces to leave Iraq by the end of this year, and a majority to depart by the end of next year. "And maybe the last soldier will leave Iraq by mid-2008," he said.........


That would be a very positive development............

"We believe that this is the beginning of the end of al-Qaida in Iraq," al-Rubaie said, adding that the documents showed al-Qaida is in "pretty bad shape," politically and in terms of training, weapons and media.................


The "beginning of the end" is obviously a best case scenario, but it's promising and a good thing for Iraqis and the whole rest of the world..............This deal is getting closer to being done......................
