>>The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations<<

Despite the number of times I have pointed out to you the distinction between "stated aims" and the capacity to deliver, you continue to evoke those stated aims to make your threat case. Note that all the events identified in that Ellis piece were actually delivered, not just the pipe dreams of enemies. You can't legitimately rank order a mix of the two. You either rank order your apples or your oranges, but not a bunch of apples with an orange ringer thrown in and expect to fool anyone.
