    High ranking Al Qaeda arrested in Iraq?! Well, according to Susan Rice Al Qaeda has been decimated. Why did she have to lie to Americans?

    Don't shoot the messenger. Somebody lied, but it wasn't her.

    She lied Grindelwald. She knew the truth before going on the Sunday shows. She admitted to it.

    Do you know what decimated means?

    Google Osama bin Laden, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, Sheikh Saeed al-Masri, Abu Ayyub al Masri, and Abu Yahya al-Libi.

    The organization, while still a threat, is a shell of it's former self.

    To quote the Wire, bin Laden was "dope on the table".

    True but the Bush administration is to blame for exaggerating the strength of Al Qaeda.

    They exaggerated Al Qaeda's strength to justify the trillions spent on defense and intelligence since 9/11 and the curbs on Civil Liberties

    Killing Bin Laden was like Toto in the Wizard of Oz letting us see the man behind the curtain. He was hardly the monster that we built him up to be.

    Maybe, maybe not. At the end of the day, Americans don't want the occasional terrorist attack like say Pakistan.

    Unfortunately for bin laden he played for the wrong team. Someone had to take the blame for 9/11. He did get a proper muslim burial at sea. And now he's happy with his 72 virgins. He's now a good muslim martyr. He should have taken his share of the Bin Laden fortune and left the M.E.

    Khalid Sheik Muhammed is said to have been the real brains behind Al Qaeda. In terms of creating the network of terror cells and planning attacks.
