| Strategy Page: Al Qaeda in decline |
| 2007-07-01 |
| Via Instapundit. Al Qaeda operations continue to decline, as the number of al Qaeda members, and leaders killed or captured, goes up. . . . Al Qaeda is having some success in the Western media, and among Moslems living in Europe. But those expatriate Moslems are handicapped by many of their brethren who are not enthusiastic about Islamic terrorism. The police get tips, make arrests, and al Qaeda loses a few more true believers. Al Qaeda is desperate for another highly visible attack in the West. Many such operations are apparently being planned, but by amateurs who can get no help from al Qaeda experts. Most of al Qaeda's traveling experts are dead or in prison. In my inexpert opinion, I've thought Strategy Page analyses like this run hot and cold, but many of you have a much better understanding of such things. Wouldn't it be lovely if S.P. are right! |

| #2 Al Qaeda is desperate for another highly visible attack in the West. If that happens, God would be surprised at the vengeance wrought on them. |
