Two years ago today, SEAL Team Six sent Osama bin Laden on his way to Davy Jones’ Locker — but his Islamist terror machine is anything but sinking to the depths. It remains a vicious, global threat.
Since Osama’s demise, the terror group’s strength has ebbed in some areas, but flowed strongly in others.
Indeed, one current estimate concludes that al Qaeda affiliates and associates (i.e., groups, cells or operatives) are active in more than 30 countries (of some 190) on four continents.
Including our continent. While we don’t yet know the whole story behind the Boston bombing, just last week in Chicago the feds arraigned an American teen, who wanted to join an al Qaeda-linked group in Syria. Oh, and the Canadians busted up a plot to bomb a Toronto-New York train, supported by al Qaeda operatives in Iran.
That same week, the Spanish arrested suspects linked to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
In Syria, the most effective fighting force against the Bashar al Assad regime is al Qaeda & Co. The main group, Jabhat al-Nusra, has conducted suicide attacks and seeks an Islamist state under sharia law. (The feds have also charged a former American GI for fighting alongside al Nusrah.)
The Syrian group works closely with al Qaeda in Iraq, which once again numbers in the thousands. It has rebounded from the departure of US forces in 2011 and is the source of ghastly violence across the country.

THEN executed the corporate takeover of Iraq, if the 1%’ers needed it so badly.
BS. Bin Laden is rotting in the bottom of a cave in Tora Bora. The rest is theatre.
Yeah, I know. I was being sarcastic.
Until the United States recognizes Islam is at war with the United States, we will continue to lose and Al Queda will continue to expand.
25% of Moslems worlwide approve of suicide bombings of men women and children of Western countries. THat is over 250,000,000 people.
This is a war. And we are losing. We better start learning to fight.
