Al Qeada is in Iraq. If anything we are more successful at killing AQ because of Iraq. It has drawn them out. But then, your comment is based on the media, which chooses not to cover our success against Al Qeada, which have been many since the invasion. We have killed them in Afghanistan, hunted them in Pakistan, frozen assets and detained suspects around the world. Most of these success are probably even secret. Its best if no one knows he actions we are taking. But youre mistaken if you think that Iraq is in any way stopping us from hunting AQ elsewhere.
Here is another example:
