This couldn’t come out two weeks ago?
A new study of the global future by U.S. intelligence agencies suggests that Al Qaeda may be on the decline, having alienated Muslim supporters with its indiscriminate killing and inattention to the practical problems of poverty, unemployment and education.
While not contradicting intelligence assessments suggesting that Al Qaeda remains a major threat with a strong presence in the tribal areas of Pakistan, the report says the group “may decay sooner” than many experts have assumed because of severe weaknesses: “unachievable strategic objectives, inability to attract broad-based support, and self-destructive actions.”
For seven years now the left has been telling us that Bush Administration actions have made Al Qaeda stronger, and now we see that this isn’t the case. Of course, if our pinhead, liberal friends would really pay attention to the nonsense they are spoon fed by their leaders, they’d realize that what they’ve been mindlessly repeating has been the phrase “Al Qaeda is stronger than any time since 9/11″…which phrase is precisely meaningless, but it sounds to a leftist like President Bush’s actions have made it stronger. Flush with seeming success immediately post-9/11, Al Qaeda reached its peak strength…only to smashed in Afghanistan and then bled to death in Iraq. To say, at any point since 2002 that Al Qaeda is “stronger than any time since 9/11” is to say “its not as weak as it was when we crushed the life out of it in late 2001 and early 2002”. But, out lefties are mindless, anti-Bush, hate-filled robots, and so they bought the story that fighting terrorists makes them stronger.
Another thing the lefties never seem to understand is that the terrorists are engaged in battle with the United States armed forces. To think that there was ever any other outcome to Iraq other than complete victory was to be merely ignorant of the relative strengths of the most powerful nation in human history, and a few thousand ragged terrorists. Right from the start, the only way we could lose would be by giving up short of victory – which event the left worked very hard to achieve. This is something which will flabbergast future generations – the most free and advanced nation in the world goes to battle against slave-masters from the most backwards nations on earth, and the left decided that it was the free and advanced nation which not only would lose, but should lose.
Well, that is that – the War on Terrorism is won. There might be some hard battles – especially in Afghanistan – but the basic thing we were fighting for has been achieved. Right now, terrorists and their State sponsors know that to use terrorism to impose upon the United States is a suicidal act. A few die hards have not got the full picture, but as long as we remain firm of purpose, the chances of a terrorist attack upon the United States are small. The US armed forces led by President Bush and backed by the better elements in Congress have seen the matter through – Obama is being handed victory on silver platter.
Pray he doesn’t mess it up.
