Prior to 9/11, Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. at home and abroad repeatedly.
Since 9/11, Al Qaeda has not attacked inside the U.S.; it has not attacked a U.S. embassy anywhere in the world, and it has not attacked a U.S. military facility.
Yet Osama bin Laden is still alive and free. Ayman al-Zawahiri is still alive and free.
What has changed?
SADDAM HUSSEIN IS DEAD. His regime is gone.
Good point.
Excellent point, bump.
