This reminds me of the war on drugs. We never show any competence. Here is an Islamic base training to kill us in Algeria...a la Afghanistan 2000. Do we do anything about it? Sadly, no. We will though, after they bomb the White House. Boy, we’ll get em then. You’ll see.

I feel exactly as you do. I'd be much happier if the first paragraph of the article read as follows:

An al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria closed a base earlier this month after US forces bombed it to smithereens, a senior U.S. intelligence official said Monday.

There, THAT is how it should be.

Seems to me that they have been making plenty of massive drug busts. The 'war' seems to be going pretty good.
