Jason Van Steenwyck looks at some successes in the war in Iraq.
If all those guys really are Al Qaeda, the Iraqi Army has essentially rendered an entire company combat ineffective, or annihilated two platoons. Al Qaeda does not have an unlimited number of fighters at its disposal - losing 60 fighters is a lot more damaging to their combat capability, as a percentage of total capacity, than it would be to the Iraqi Army, which has a large numerical advantage and grows stronger every day.
You can bet if two platoons worth of Iraqi Army soldiers were annihilated, the editors of the New York Times would be singing the news from the mountain tops as evidence that Iraq is in ruins.
