Report: al-Qaida Has Regained Strength
Report: al-Qaida Has Regained Strength

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government has concluded that al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since the summer of 2001, The Associated Press has learned.

A new threat assessment suggests the group that launched the most devastating terrorist attack on the United States has been able to rebuild despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.

1. "Al-Qaida has regained strength," announcer says.
"Thanks to Braniac's Giganto-ray," the announced added after the commercial break. "Who will save the earth now?" he added.

2. Threat Assessment From Cheney's Office?
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 05:28 PM by Star80
Really now, come on.

Nobody buys this any more. Al Qaeda is a fictitious organization whose sole purpose is to further *Co's agenda. Always has been, always will be.

For real, I challenge anyone anywhere to provide me with material proof that Al Qaeda truly exists.

If there _were_ an Al Qaeda, why can't the most powerful military on Earth defeat them? Because the enemy, the mission, and the location are based on lies.

And for this to be a knowledgeable article from a reputable source, they spelled "Al Qaeda" wrong. Or at least differently than everyone else.

Not scared, and not buying duct tape and plastic sheeting.

3. This and Skeletor Chertoff's remarks feel like such a setup.
How much more of this are we going to take? Now we know that they're 1) as strong as they were in 2001 2)they "like" to attack in the summer and 3)Skeletor (and others with similar sentiments) has a gut feeling we're overdue. What transparent horse*&^%. If anything happens, screw Al Quaeda-- I know who I want to talk to!
