al Qaeda making a come back

Someone recently told us how the terrorist organization that we’ve been fighting for over 15 years is on the ropes. It seems that now, the government is saying that they’re on their way back into the ring, according to NBC News;

U.S. officials tell NBC News that al Qaeda — though its core in Pakistan has been degraded by years of CIA drone strikes — is now experiencing renewed strength through its affiliates, led by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in Yemen and the Nusra Front in Syria. Clapper called the two groups al Qaeda’s “most capable” affiliates in his House testimony Thursday.

[…]

Al Qaeda has not managed to attack a Western target recently, but it continues to inspire plots.

So, I guess that strategy of droning the leadership isn’t working, but I don’t see anyone suggesting a new strategy. Wasn’t Joe Biden in charge of all of that? I guess that was probably one of the first mistakes.

    Can’t be true, Jonn. Al Qaeda’s been “decimated”.

    3…2…1…It’s because of climate change!

    Maybe we can offer to put them in charge of the VA.

      Enroll them in the VA.
      That’ll take care of the problem

        I agree with OC, you’ve won the netz for the day, perhaps the week.

        Do you really want to fuck them over? Put Daniel Bernath in charge of their propaganda branch. No one will understand what they are trying to say.

    Just go outside, shoot a shotgun in the air, and they’ll go away…

    Oh, they took some time off to reformulate, that’s all.

      They just completed their mandatory SHARP seminar. Baaah means no.

    NO, it can’t be! B. Hussein 0bama said himself that they’re just JV players!

    I read this article this morning from the Kurdish press:

    http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/25022016

    …saying that at least in Iraq, ISIS is “a shadow of its former self,” with mass desertions and leadership fleeing to Libya. Might be propaganda to buck up the troops ahead of a drive into Mosul, but I sure hope it’s true.
