They train that many a year, in camps all over the world (but mostly
in Pakistani mountains) and they affiliate with other groups who train
themselves, and they're all flocking to Iraq for their 'afghanistan v.

They've put most of their eggs in the Iraqi basket, and you want to
let them have it.

America is being laughed at in every corner of the World. bin Laden has
become an underdog and folks everywhere are pleased to see America
looking foolish.
The damage we have done to our reputation is immense.
