#1 this is second time in a week that an Al Q affiliate staged a daytime frontal assault on a fixed US position- also second failure

If ALQ was to succeed in one of these it would undoubtedly be a big propaganda victory - certainly the ABC/AlJeera/CNN,etc. crowd would compare it to one of the times the NV/vietcong temporarily overan a base.

On the other hand, if they have a few more losses like the ones lately, they will have to abandon this tactic and that will be bad for their internal propaganda. Very very bad.
