Report: Al-Qaida's power is back

WASHINGTON -- A new top-level intelligence assessment concludes that the al-Qaida terrorist network has rebounded and is at its greatest strength since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

Calling al-Qaida the most potent terrorist threat to U.S. national security, the classified draft makes clear that the Bush administration has been unable to cripple Osama bin Laden and the violent terror movement he founded.

The conclusion suggests that the network that launched the most devastating terror attack on the United States has been able to regroup along the Afghan-Pakistani border despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.




Chertoff says Qaeda not posing pre-Sept 11 threat

WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Thursday the threat to the United States from al Qaeda has not returned to levels seen just before the Sept. 11 attacks nearly six years ago.

Chertoff played down media reports the militant network has regained strength and was now as great a threat as in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks on Washington and New York.



Ummmm....media reports? It wasn't media reports that said Al-Queda regained its strength. It was a "top level" US government intelligence report. :confused:

Heard the same thing. Here we go again. So much for shutting them down.

They can shut down Al-Queda if they want. The way to do it is not with bombs and military might. That just helps Al-Queda to recruit more.

Never underestimate the power of a nuclear weapon.

I thought it was "nuke-u-lar". At least that's how our Prez says it. :rofl:

he is unCLEAR about nuCLEAR :rofl:

I agree. They won't take the necessary STEPS...(wonder why)

Seeing Bush fail always brings a smile to my face :)

They are spending all this money disposing of leaking napalm muntitions why not just drop them?

Not to rain on your anti-Bush parade here, but you are an American, right? Why then would you want to see our president fail?

I would love for Bush to suddenly change his policies and do what is good for America. I doubt that will happen, but it certainly does not make me happy to see him do things that cause damage to our country. :rolleyes:
