I agree. AQ is "toast", but they can still be dangerous.

I read recently that we captured or killed 70% of them, and the rest are on the run.

But if they have WMD, a dozen or so of them could set it off, so they are still dangerous. I think we did prevent some major attacks over the holidays.

Remember the NEST (Nuclear Emergency Search Teams) was dispatched into several major US cities during that time. They don't send those out, unless there is some credible info about nuclear weapons, whether full nukes or "dirty bomb".

Your# 8.........correct!

AQ and their 'sponsers'.......(REALIY-FACT)......are dangerous.

"It will be bigger, in the sense that the loss from which America and the Western World will suffer, because it will be very big and immeasurable...due to its greatness, it will change the global power balance," he said.

This is their ongoing goal (dream).

[They too are going to have to have a 'reason' (rationalization) to invent their very own atomic 'Godzilla'.

The 70% of incapacitated aq might sound good, but what about that (only)1%(of all muslims) of fanatical islamists who sympathize, financially support and love killing as a blood sport? We must NEVER let our guard down again.
