Al Qaeda's Comeback
Kevin Whitelaw 7/17/07

The new warning reflects an assessment about the success of the group's top leaders, including Osama bin Laden, in rebuilding much of its capabilities to train operatives and plot attacks.

... the group has reconstituted its ability to actively plot from its safe haven in the western tribal regions of Pakistan.

Other key factors in al Qaeda's resurgence include the survival of bin Laden and his key deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the group's ability to recruit and train new lieutenants.

John Kerry's Press Release

We are clearly losing ground in the fight against terrorists worldwide. We have created more terrorists than we have killed. We are more isolated internationally. We are more divided domestically. And more than at any time in modern history, our forces are stretched to the breaking point.

We diverted resources from the hunt for Bin Laden to invade Iraq, which had no operational ties to Al Qaeda.
