#1 But some of the decline is coming from falling morale. Potential Islamic terrorist recruits now know that their prospects in Iraq are dim. Not only are they likely to kill Iraqi civilians, but if they come up against American troops, the result will usually be dead terrorists and a failed mission.

Huh? The press and the left (but I repeat myself) keep telling us that Iraq has left the terrorists "energized" and that it's a prime training ground for them.
