Al Qaeda waning

This week CIA chief Michael Hayden made headlines with his statement that support for AlQaeda in Iraq was waning...while this is fantastic news for our troops in Iraq from a long term threat perspective this is a red herring. The guys that have the ability to hit the US homeland are not Al Qaeda in Iraq but the Al Qaeda in Pakistan. These bad boys have prospered under Bush' misguided policy for the last 5 years. OBL is still alive and so is Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Who knows how many thousands of jihadis have been created to join forces with these people against the United States and the western way of life we stand for. Only time will tell
