I don't think anyone thinks that Al Qaeda is defeated. I think people are just starting to think that Al Qaeda in Iraq has worn out its welcome. Like the U.S. troops were welcome in the Kurdish north and the Shiite South, Al Qaeda was welcomed in the Sunni-dominated Iraqi neighborhoods when they first came. They have worn out their welcome. Even the Sunnis have come to learn that the U.S. troops are preferable to Al Qaeda elements.
