Al-Qaeda returns. The new face of terror

The West thought it was winning the battle against jihadist terrorism. It should think again. A FEW months ago Barack Obama declared that al-Qaeda was “on the path to defeat”. Its surviving members, he said, were more concerned for their own safety than with plotting attacks on the West. Terrorist attacks of the future, he claimed, would resemble those of the 1990s—local rather than transnational and focused on “soft targets”. His overall message was that it was time to start winding down George Bush’s war against global terrorism.

This really should be the new battle cry if – or when – the statesmen of the Western world go to war against Bashar al-Assad.

Saturday evening, February 23, Michael Thompson at WND followed up: Congress resisting calls to investigate Al Jazeera. ✧ Quoting Cliff Kincaid's original call, Thompson reiterated, Kincaid said if anyone doubts Al Jazeera should be investigated, “I say, let’s have a congressional hearing.” ✧ “Let’s put the evidence on the record to demonstrate how Al Jazeera works hand and glove with al-Qaida and other terrorist groups,” he said. ✧ Kincaid said his organization “simply wants Congress to do its job.” ✧ “Ever since Current TV and Al Jazeera made this deal, my group has simply said – let’s investigate and see if the law is being followed, or if Al Jazeera is a terrorist organization.” Read more at WND...
