In Pakistan, signs of al Qaeda all around
And they are our "Ally"? :eyes:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- We could have been anywhere when the latest al Qaeda video hit the Internet because it was available worldwide on dozens of Web sites.

But it was most likely made within 200 miles of where we were.

Five years after 9/11, Pakistan appears to have replaced Afghanistan as the group's center of gravity.

Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are widely believed to be in the more remote parts of this country. Two of the London subway bombers planned and trained for their mission here...

4. And water is wet. Good grief!
Let's see...aside from Saudi Arabia (bush's buddies), where were the 911 bombers from?

Where was Ramzi Yusaf, the 1993 WTC bomber, caught?

What nation's population have a majority who approve of Usama bin Laden?

But never mind...and never mind the fact that bush is helping arm Pakistan (the majority of whom hate our guts) with "wmd".

DUHHHHH! No wonder too many Americans are dumb as dirt...so is our "media".
