Come on, let's get the truth out. They're funded by the Saudi's and they still are. They're not running from us. They brazenly blew up a railway in Spain. We can't find them.

I am not saying what we did in Afganistan was the end of Al-Q. What I am saying is that clearly, without a state in which to work unfettered, the strength of Al-Q is significantly lessened and even more so by our capture and/or killing of the vast majority of their top people and the seizing of their accounts So, yes, although it is still present, it is weakened. W did well on that account even though he did not capture or kill OBL, which he should have done.

Regading the Saudi's, I am unsure if the Saudi state officially or even unofficially sponsors Al-Q. But it really does not matter too much because they effectively do not lift a finger to stop Al-Q or any other terrorist organization. But, they have king oil so no politician (and I mean no politician) will raise their hand to them. If they did, the American companies and people would never forgive them because it would send our economy into a tailspin. Pity IMO. But, we are beholden to fossil fuel and until that changes . . .
