Al Qaeda Stronger Than Ever

Thank you Dubya for your bang-em up job taking out Sadaam and creating the conditions that bin Ladin could recruit world wide. Within a loose network of copy cat terrorists, and a new generation of seasoned professionals, Al Qaeda will harass the west for generations to come.

The Associated Press has learned that US intelligence analysts believe al-Qaeda has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the 2001 terrorist attacks. The conclusion suggests that the group that launched the most devastating terror attack on the US has been able to rebuild, despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.


Still, numerous government officials say they know of no specific, credible threat of a new attack. A counterterrorism official familiar with a five-page summary of the new government threat assessment calls it a stark appraisal.


The report will be discussed at the White House on Thursday as part of a broader meeting on an upcoming National Intelligence Estimate. The official and others spoke on condition of anonymity because the secret report remains classified.
