The US is the largest State sponsor of Terrorism in the world (in the opinion of Noam Chomsky, et. al.)
Also, I think this question is misleading. I don't think it's reasonable to say that they have lost Afghanistan. Kabul, perhaps, but not the entire country.

Seems that Yes, Al Qaeda has recovered in Afghanistan is the consensus.

but there's really no way to answer this question rationally. It presumes that the "Coalition of the Willing" has won the war in Afghanistan, and that is just not true.

6. Did "losing" Afghanistan really hurt them that much? |
|
Al Qaeda regrouped itself years ago. BushCo's adventure in Iraq has served the extremists quite well.
