Richard Fernandez's discussion on Zombie Al Qaeda...
But Rep. Adam Schiff, "a Democrat who serves on the House Intelligence Committee" says that is the least Obama's worries: "he said today the threat from al Qaeda was far more worrisome in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq." Somehow, without the press noticing, al-Qaeda has metastized.
We noticed. Even those among us who are trained journalists.
Still, there are forebodings that some kind of 'Tet offensive' will happen in Afghanistan as soon as American forces become too small to make a difference. The 10,000 troops Obama will leave in Afghanistan will buy him time, but not much else. When they go it may be the Last Helicopter Out of Saigon again.
