[Maelstrom]

Al Qaeda is a network of terrorist organizations.

We have consistently taken out the leadership of these organizations over the past few years, and as new leadership has emerged, we’ve taken them out as well.

Yes, Al Qaeda is incompetent. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INCOMPETENT. THEY HAVE ALWAYS RELIED upon the liberal base within the US to create political disasters for the US.

Al Qaeda have always been fools.
Al Qaeda have always been incompetent pigs.
Al Qaeda have always been morons and idiots who found and exploited weaknesses in an open society like ours, but ultimately, have nothing going for them other than our own hostile press offices.

[George W. Bush]

Yes, Al Qaeda is incompetent. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INCOMPETENT.

And yet Osama evades capture, they continue to collect funds and build local affiliates, make new recruits in S.A. and north Africa for their Iraq effort, etc.

The bigger problem for us and the Iraqi government is sectarian violence and plotting among the three factions of their own population. We and/or the Iraqis will almost certainly expel the foreign terrorists who fight under the al-Qaeda banner.
