So while we're bogged down in the civil war we created in a country that never attacked us, al Qaeda is regrouping essentially unchallenged.

U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, The Associated Press has learned.

Counterterrorism analysts produced the document, titled "Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West." The document focuses on the terror group's safe haven in Pakistan and makes a range of observations about the threat posed to the United States and its allies, officials said.

Al-Qaida is "considerably operationally stronger than a year ago" and has "regrouped to an extent not seen since 2001," the official said, paraphrasing the report's conclusions. "They are showing greater and greater ability to plan attacks in Europe and the United States."

The group also has created "the most robust training program since 2001, with an interest in using European operatives," the official quoted the report as saying.

How can anyone argue with a straight face anymore that this war is beneficial to America's security? We have created an entire new generation of Islamic extremists and a failed state for them for fester in, we have decimated the readiness and moral of our armed forces, we have squandered hundreds of billions of dollars and our moral standing, we have strengthened Iran by allowing them to gain influence in Iraq, and we still haven't caught the people responsible for the attack that supposedly justifies it all. What kind of bizarre world are we living in?
