When Al-Qaeda takes over a government, then any press conference gets a JDAM. Every meeting of its Islamic Court gets a JDAM. When it sends a representative to the UN it goes to Guantanamo. When its officials try to fly overseas it gets intercepted in the air and escorted to a US airbase in Italy again.

They are Al-Qaeda. We may not be able to go in and get them, but they should at the very least have to run scared from cell phones and conduct government meetings only in basements and caves.

Nonsense. al Qaida has no wish for outright governance. They simply need a safe haven from which to operate and attack us. Take Afghanistan for example. It was the Taliban, not al Qaida, that ruled that nation. They simply provided Osama and his organization a free hand to plan terror. The situaiton in Somalia seems similar. Hence why that area needs to be "fumigated." But ZERO NONE ZIP NADA plans of nation building.
