What evidence do you have? Your the one who said that there was absolutely no question that they have gained strength. That type of statement requires a lot more evidence then my statement "There is very much a question. In fact I think they have lost strength." I am expressing opinion and uncertainty. Strictly speaking that requires no evidence but I'll give you some anyway. You are making a statement of certainty beyond what is required for a criminal conviction (which only requires no reasonable doubt not that there is absolutely no question). The evidence that I have is that thousands of them have been killed or captured, and that they have no safe haven anymore. Sure they can operate in small dispersed groups in secret but it was easier for them when they could concentrate and train with impunity in Afghanistan. Also some of there source of money have been stopped or decreased. I don't think we can ever choke it off completely or even close to completely but ever decrease is a positive step. Tim
