Al Qaeda Still 'Most Serious and Dangerous' Threat, White House Report Says
FOX ^ | 10/09/07 | Unknown

Posted on 10/09/2007 10:02:53 AM PDT by Froufrou

Al Qaeda is believed to be intensifying efforts to smuggle operatives into the United States to launch possible attacks, likely using safe havens in Pakistan as a spring board, the White House reported Tuesday.

The terror group will also likely "continue to enhance its ability to attack America through greater cooperation with regional terrorist groups," the 62-page National Strategy for Homeland Security Report said, and points, in particular, to Al Qaeda in Iraq.

It says that while the War on Terror was successful at disrupting Al Qeada's terror network, "the group has protected its top leadership, replenished operational lieutenants, and regenerated a safe haven in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas -- core capabilities that would help facilitate another attack on the Homeland."

The report also pointed specifically to Al Qaeda's "persistent desire for weapons of mass destruction, as the group continues to try to acquire and use chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear material."

If this is so true, then why is this administration still allowing illegals to cross our borders each and everyday and take up residence and apply for benefits that we don’t even have????

We know that. That is why we need a good WOT fighter that also embraces the will of the people against illegal immigration, pro life and American values. We wouldn’t have to debate whether he would appoint strict constitutionalists to the Supreme Court.

Duncan Hunter fits the bill on all of these conservative principles.

He would make Hillary look like the silly, Marxist menopausal, shrew she is.

SMUGGLE??? All they have to do is walk across the border or come in on a plane. We are now allowing more refugee Iraqis to come into the country. Great new is they are all just outstanding citizens. Bet not one is not trying to “smuggle” himself in.

Note to W, close the gates and not allow anyone in from Terrorist supporting countries.

“Hillary: silly, Marxist menopausal shrew, she is.”

Woot! Best description of Hillary I’ve ever seen!

I like Duncan Hunter, too. I saw Huffington and Ingraham going after Fred on Today Show and Huffy said he thought Hezbollah was in Iraq. That will hurt.

OTOH, I can’t stand all the free airtime the Clintoons get on NBC.

‘I like Duncan Hunter, too. I saw Huffington and Ingraham going after Fred on Today Show and Huffy said he thought Hezbollah was in Iraq. That will hurt.’

She did the same on MSNBC this morning.

‘OTOH, I can’t stand all the free airtime the Clintoons get on NBC’

Its easier if you don’t watch NBC til primetime.....

The only problem I see is that he just might be right...

From what I heard on Rush Limbaugh, Al Queada is only one thing we are fighting.

Looks like illegal immigrant vote will destroy our country if we don’t stand up and get militant about it.

Al Qaeda may threaten us, but our country will be lost if we allow illegal immigrants to determine our POTUS.

Makes me even more for Hunter.

I don’t pretend to understand Huffy, but I think she meant Fred thought Hezbollah was a town or city in Iraq.

The point about illegals is well taken. You know the Dems are getting their vote out, since they even count dead people’s votes! 8^)

“Al Qaeda is believed to be intensifying efforts to smuggle operatives into the United States to launch possible attacks”...they will have to catch up to the Democrats, their operatives are already in place launching socialist attacks!....

Damn good question, and one Bush takes great pains to ignore.

More WOT nonsense from the White House.

How does that jive with the POTUS, Chertoff and all the other PTB peeps doing everything they possibly can to stall the building of a wall between legal crossings on our southern border?

WOT indeed.
