"And instead of the war in Afghanistan being the end of Al-Qaeda, the terror group appears to have regained the capacity to plan massive attacks with a presence in over 60 countries; Iraq can be added as a new hospitable base of operations."
The Muslim writer in that first article you linked is wrong with this comment! He is being blatantly disingenuous. Right after 911, GWB repeatedly stated that the war on terror was a long-term effort. The writer is so wrongly and deliberately painting GWB and the U.S. as the culprits instead of al qaeda and all the Muslim and Arab nation supporters of terrorism. GROWL!
Sorry, my previous post was to Myrddin instead of Honesty.
I always weigh the source and use discernment when making any conclusions. Frequently I find articles that have valuable information but also have a slant that I don't appreciate. As with all reading, I try to glean what I can about the bad guys and disregard the misinformation.
