Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is finding it difficult to retain his top employees.

But is this enough? Last night Jim Lehrer responded to that report in his interview with Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, with a "so what" and Myers responded:

JIM LEHRER: But would you understand, General, why people would be a little skeptical?

We've heard this before, Zarqawi's right hand man, Zarqawi's number three, this number of people, and the thing we keep hearing, all the insurgency has been broken, it's just a bunch of dead-enders, they're in the throes of whatever, and then 60 people die.

GEN. RICHARD MYERS: You never heard Dick Myers ever say the insurgency has been broken. This -- insurgencies take time to break. They're broken by the political process. It's my view that the driver now is the political process and the success that Iraq has in developing its constitution, referendum and then elections; that's what's going to beat the insurgency.

And, in other words, the process of beating that insurgency is moving ahead.
