Powerclown...i agree with your assessment of al Queda's capabilities in general...we lost our focus on al Queda and bin Laden when Bush abandoned Afghanistan before the job was done in order to purse the Iraq folly.

But I am talking about what Bush calls "al Queda in Iraq" which from the limited declassified summaries of intel that I have seen is a relatively small rag tag bunch with loose ties to bin Laden and with little capabilites beyond car bombings and IEDs in Iraq. BUt Bush hasnt declassified these NIEs or intel reports...they dont serve his political purpose.

And you dont the inconsistencies in his earlier statements about the need to keep intel classified and his actions this week?
