"The threat from Islamist terrorism remains as high as ever, and looks set to get worse," it added.

"The US and its allies have failed to deal a death blow to al-Qaida; the organisation's ideology appears to have taken root to such a degree that it will require decades to eradicate," it continued.

12. Bushies say "Mission Accomplished"

How much better for the Bushies if they don't have to stage their own False Flag Op to trigger the Penultimate and Final Solution Phases.

They they can just LIHOP or do a little HIHOP and they're good to go, those Bushies, for the imposition of the final lockdown of tyranny.

14. Since Iraq has NEVER had ANYTHING to do with al Qaeda,

THANKS, GEORGE W. bUSH for making al Qaeda a bigger threat than ever.
