| Al-Qa`ida's Spymaster Analyzes U.S. Intelligence |
| 2007-02-17 |
| Interesting but older document I noticed at West Point's Combating Terrorism Center. Al-Hakaymah recently joined Al-Qa'ida and seems to aspire to be its chief intelligence analyst. His report indicates that Al QaÂ’ida has evolved from studying U.S. security tactics and electoral politics to more sophisticated analyses of U.S. bureaucratic structure and weaknesses. Whereas security planners have tended to think of bureaucratic limitations as internal problems that may limit our ability to detect, prevent, or respond to an attack, we must now consider that Al QaÂ’ida will actively attempt to exploit these weaknesses. |

| #5 OP...amen. The same useless beauracracy that is sacrifcing the future of the USAF...riffing virtually an entire generation of O's and E's...to finance aircraft we do not need (F-22 and the JSF-35). China...the only plausible strategic threat in the next 20 years...will not be able to project strategic let alone tactical power to the North American continent before 2020. |

| #3 You mean they've learned America's fatal weakness? The Democratic Party? No, the dummycritter party is just the tip of the iceberg. The real weakness is the left-leaning bureaucracy that has become so powerful it no longer even pretends to do the wishes of its leadership and the president. Time to flush the entire, rotten lot. |
