What's your point? Having al-Qaeda members training in the U.S. military supports exactly what I've been saying. They don't need a "state sponser" in the Middle East anymore.

They need the resources of a state to provide them with weapons of mass destruction. In the hands of a terrorist cell these become "weapons of mass terrorism." (wmt)

Developing these is beyond the resources of all but nation-states. Also, friendly states provide them places to disappear and means to launder money.

We didn't "welcome" them into the US military. They went in under false pretenses. I believe it was a special forces sergeant who had infiltrated and aided them in the bombings of the embassies in Kenya/Tanzania.
