al Qaeda Goes Sandbox


al Qaeda Number 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is more than just a little stymied over what to do with a popular U.S. President. Insults and name calling are about the beast he's been able to do. Along with his boss he is finding out, slowly coming to the realization, that their ideology is deeply and seriously flawed. It has faltered. It has sputtered. Most of the most dedicated have died. There's not a lot of reenlistment, you see, among suicide bombers. As noted in the Washington Post, President Obama has called for the end of the war, he intends on closing Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and is welled like across the globe. This has left the sands of change shifting under the very feet of al Qaeda and others. Time and circumstance will tell if the war on terror will become a war of attrition and die under its own weight.
