Al-Qaeda laid to rest? Not just yet
2008-06-12
By Michael Scheuer
Whether said about the aging process or the implacable approach of writing deadlines, the old saw about "time flying" is certainly true. But seldom has it been truer than in the past three weeks.

At dawn on May 29, the 2007 US National Intelligence Estimate that said al-Qaeda was a major and gradually increasing threat to the United State was still valid; by late that afternoon, the secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had announced that the Lebanese Hezbollah was now the " 'A' team of terrorism" and that it made "al-Qaeda look like a minor league team".

#5  A little caveat about Michael Scheuer: he is an anti-war activist. That is not to say that he gets everything wrong. In fact, the left is embarassing hawks with apt SOFA analyses. There has been some particularly depraved Shiite leveraging on that issue, and there are signs of White House bending. Iran is using their Iraq player pianos to favor BHO in the US elections.

#3  Al-Qaeda ut Jihad (base of islamic terror) was never designed to operate as a mass movement. Under Taliban foreign terrorists were trained to create murder cells, and to wage mayhem in the Free World. Wherever there are Muslims; there is al-Qaeda. They are acting out the Koran script in the same manner as the phony "prophet" of Islam, who waged naked aggression against peoples whose leaders wouldn't surrender to his assimilating and raping armies.

#1  "The impact of US and Western policies in the Muslim world" > which, by definition, is antithetical/contrary even unto the agendas of US-CENTRIC OWG-NWO, including as per ANTI-LEFTS, GLOBALISTS, COMMIES-SOCIALISTS-MARXISTS, SECULARISTS, GOVTISTS, etc. ANTI-US NON/ANTI-ISLAMISM > the MUSLIM WORLD CANNOT NOT BE "IMPACTED", EVER.
