The Al-Qaeda which was on the run in Afghanistan took time to regroup. Now they have come back with twice the venom with the latest series of bombings in Turkey. If you believe that Al Qaeda has been ignored since we invaded Afghanistan, you haven't been paying much attention. Or your attention has been selective. Either way. Let us remember that the US decided to go it alone and didn't care what the world had to say. The US invaded Iraq with 30 nations. Not exactly "alone". US foreign policy is not dictated by France, Germany, and Russia, who were the primary obstruction to the war and, in the case of France and Russia, the primary benefactors of Saddam Hussein's continuance in power. That is what we had during the Clinton years. Locate the hubs of terrorists activity and shoot then down with sophisticated missiles. That's a joke, right? LOL! Over half of Al Qaeda's command has been captured or killed since October 2001. How many, precisely, were captured or killed on Clinton's watch? Let me save you the trouble: zero. Although I'm sure the Tomahawks we wasted on OBL killed a goat or two. Derek
