#2 Flushed out of their bases, the anti-government forces are much more easily killed, and a lot more quickly. This has an adverse impact on recruiting for the anti-government gangs.

C'mon, guys! Allah will protect you! No, really, he will! Trust us! Really, he will!

#4 Seeing the Sunni Arab gunmen quickly rolled over by American and Iraqi troops is also a hard story for al Jazeera to cover

Ya, hard to recruit people to be a small speed bump. Arabs (like most other people in the world) like a winner. Most Osama Tshirts stopped being bought after the fall of Tora Bora, 'cause Osama was seen as a looser. Same problem here. As long as the asshats kept killing people, they were popular with the other asshats. As soon as they start loosing, you will quickly see a huge drop in the amount of people coming across the border because a) they want to be with the winners, not losers and b) they really don't want to die that badly.

#5 Don't run away Jihadi. Don't show your cowardice. Stand and face the infidel.
Come to heavan Jihadi! The Virgins await you. Unable to satisfy your women folk on earth, the Virgins in heavan happily await your arrival. Fortunately for you, they ARE Virgins and have low expectations of your ability to satisfy them. Come to heavan Jihadi.

#6 "Seeing the Sunni Arab gunmen quickly rolled over by American and Iraqi troops is also a hard story for al Jazeera to cover." Yeah, truth is harder than fiction.
