Barack Obama tonight, "Al Qaeda is more powerful now then when we started this war with Afghanistan."
Come on you liberals and or those claiming to vote for Obama. Can you defend that statement when over 2/3rds of the leadership has been killed or captured and thousands more followers have been killed?
Are you going to tell me Obama understands where we are today and/or how to be a leader?

His quote would be downright perfect, in 2006 or 2005, but his argument there was extremely vague, anyway, but that's just one of many reasons he (Obama) didn't nail it out of the park.
I think most Americans were disappointed in the debates, because there really wasn't anything new or revealing about it, so basically it probably changed nobody's mind about who they're voting for, and swing voters certainly didn't benefit from it.
Al Qaeda is now ranked behind Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran as a worldwide terror threat. Why McCain didn't point that out during the debate, I'll never know.

RE: "Al Qaeda is more powerful now...."
The big difference between pre 9/11 and now is that they are everywhere. True most of the movers and shakers have been captured or killed but they have spread themselves out to avoid losing a major portion when they get hit. We do have them on the run but left unattended that weed garden will grow rapidly. This is not the time to switch gears and turn to something else.

al Queda has become a political term used to describe the acts ofany one of several radical Islamic organizations: Terrorists acts thatare committedby Hezbollah, Hamas and a few dozen other Islamic terror groups are often wrongly attributed to al Queda. When the average DC political puke wants to strike fear into the weak hearts of the sheeple heplays his al Queda card.
Obama is wrong, al Queda is not growing. The Taliban is growing by leaps and bounds.
I may not be able to say it is fact but, how do we know what they are doing? IfI remember correctly they did wait along time before striking after they tried to hit the World Trade center the first time didn't they? With iran and other rough nations trying to build nukes I would say it a far cry from being squashed out. If they were to so happen to get their hands on some of that stuff where would we be? SoI can not say that they are weaker or that they are any stronger. Yes we have hit them at times Still they have the capability to put out videos when they desire to. They appear to find enough crazy ones to help them carry out what they want. So when and what do they want next time? Could someone let us know that? So i am guessing that there is somethings we still do not know about them just like when they came into this country and attacked us.. Do we know for certain that none is hiding in Iran? They appear to be going into Iraq somehow could it be threw Iran? I do not think they went to Iraq by going threw Pakistan so how exactly did they get into Iraq? There is quite a few questions still unanswered so could anyone give us some more insight as to how they are doing it?
Al Qaeda is more powerfull now, also there are alot of other radical groups organizing and increasing membership as we speak. Bush and his war-mongering attitude has caused many people to hate the U.S... After listening to the leader of Iran, and others, I can see a clear attitude of resentment to the American Government. Hopefully we get some new leadership in the white House, that will turn the tide in how other countries feel about us. The Republicans, including McCainwould not acheive this.Obama seems to understand this, and knows that we can not afford conflict.

Where have you been? These crazies were attacking us long before Bush came into office. And if you start worrying what other countries think of us we'll become just like them.........
