WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI Director Robert Mueller praised as "exceptionally successful" the U.S. anti-terrorism campaign overseas, saying Friday that it substantially disrupted al-Qaida operations even as he cautioned Americans to remain on high alert.

"Separately, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., complained this week "there's no end in sight" to the nation's involvement in Afghanistan."

Did this old fool make this complaint in the beginning days of WWII or the Vietnam War? I doubt it. It's comical to watch these RATS try and find an issue to carry them into the elections. Just goes to show you that for them, gaining power is more important than unity during a war. I am praying that this backfires on them big time.

"showed substantial discipline" after they crossed U.S. borders by not contacting other, known terrorists or conducting suspicious financial transactions that might have tipped off authorities.

So anyone who isn't suspicious should go to the top of the list.

I can't point to any known success on the anthrax issue.

"But one thing is clear: Bill Clinton and Janet Reno exulted when they found a domestic conspiracy behind the Oklahoma City bombing, say administration insiders, and immediately ordered the FBI to call off its investigation of any international connection. Details of that connection finally are beginning to emerge."
