Is life getting tough for Al Qaida or what?

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/...

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, and now Lybia. Seems like we are the good guys after all.

Update:

Steve J USA - Sorry thought it was obvious that these are the countries that Al Qaida now have challenged the governments. The cool thing is with our "Stay the course" plan they (countries) are no longer scared of Al Qaida.

Update 2:

partyinmypants - you need to read it again. Start with the beginning then to the end. Al Qaida is not gaining but losing support from these countries.

    Yea, I thought it was a pretty good story when I read it the other day. They sure do sound a little desperate these days. At the rate the US military is killing their insurgents it would do well for them to fold and go back to their meager lives.

    Pay no attention to that terrorist supporter Steve J USA, he's been trying to spread his BS and lies all over the board. I just ignore him like he's poison ivy.

    If anything that article shows that Al Qaida's influence is growing! If they are threatening Libya for improving relations with the US that only shows that they might have the resources! Try reading an article longer than 5 paragraphs next time.

    Source(s): "Ayman al-Zawahri also announced that the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was joining ranks with al-Qaida." Doesn't sound like they are losing any ground there....? Its irrelevant anyway. Did you have a question or did you just want to veil your statement as one.

    beforehand of 9-11, no baby-kisser would admit to being fearful with regard to the upward thrust of militant Islamic Fundalmentalists. as quickly as 9-11 got here visiting, i think of everybody did their applicable with what intelligence replaced into available. The CIA had no longer been attempting very difficult to infiltrate those communities or maybe conserving an somewhat close eye on them. i've got faith the genuine failure right it is not what occured after 9-11, yet what occured or did no longer ensue in the ten or so years finest as much because it. as a effect, we've faith that those terrorist communities (Al-Quida being considered one of various) are develop, i think of they are purely rebuilding. They have been huge to start with. Even now, many don't opt for to have faith what the enemy is asserting, that their objective is for Islam to be the single and in trouble-free terms faith in the international. it is their holy conflict. they have chosen this time via fact the commencing element for this conflict. they are arranged to combat for the subsequent a hundred years or greater to end this objective. we've leaders that are no longer arranged to combat to next fall. the U. S. is to no longer blame for this conflict. whilst the Liberals take over in the subsequent election, they gets there on supplies of ending the conflict, development a protracted-lasting peace with the Muslims in the middle East, etc. they are going to locate that in the event that they pull decrease back the troops, this enemy will pursue us. in the event that they develop their hand with an olive branch, it's going to be shrink off. I even have watched this component build from the time the present President of Iran marched our embassy workers by way of the streets of Tehran. They have been given a rustic from which to construct their base of operations and that they have got reached the element the place they are waiting for the Jihad. no count what we do (as a rustic), what we are saying, what concessions we make, the objective of the radical Muslims won't exchange. I expecpt to video demonstrate the scuffling with 30 or 40 years from now, if I stay that long. i don't have faith the Taliban government in Afganistan truly concept we'd come after them. in spite of each little thing, we jerked around with Saddam for over 10 years. We did no longer supply them 10 months. i've got faith this disrupted their timetable and compelled them to work together us perhaps 5-10 years previously than replaced into applicable.

    Sorry, but your link fails to show how life is getting tough for Al Qaeda. In fact, it shows just the opposite...

    And by the way, they taunted us recently in another video. Have you been living in a dang underground bunker or something?

    Well, Iraq and Afghanistan are still breeding nests for the villains, I hate to break the news to ya...but that's the fact.
