I'm of two minds about the apparent present state of al-Qaeda and their allied groups. The fact that all they can do, it seems, is release tapes and TALK about attacking the US gives me comfort, since I think it shows their weakness. But what makes me truly shudder is the knowledge that if they could attack the US they would not hesitate to do so, and that they are patient and could just be working towards another huge attack rather than a number of small ones.
We can't let up on them for a moment, as I'm sure the Bush administration and everyone here is aware.
Ever!
