The State of al-Qaeda

Tom Daschle must be ignoring his intelligence briefings. Terrorists are getting rounded up and blown to smithereens worldwide, Afghanistan has been liberated, and President Bush has put more pressure on terrorist operations worldwide than any leader in history.

Yet Daschle whines on.

The left can preach defeat all they want. The American people know that this war is bigger than one man. We aren’t naive enough to think that killing or capturing Bin Laden alone is enough to make a difference. This tactic is yet another example of the left’s complete lack of vision and integrity. Two traits personified on the conservative side by President Bush.
