I thought Obama had Al Qaeda on the run...

Why does it matter if they're done or not?

We're never gonna kill every single member of that organization. How much longer do you folks wanna keep screaming this Al Qaeda nonsense?

Al qaeda conveniently takes refuge in nations with impending US military invasions.

As long as there is money to be made they will continue screaming it.
A virtual enemy is good for the rest of eternity.

There is no such thing as Al Qaeda. It is just an invention of the pols and the press to put a name and a face we can hate on everything from tribalism to Muslim extremism and gin up support for unnecessary but lucrative defense spending and war. It will be a long time before tribalism and extremism go away, but we can go back to minding our own business and not need to be so concerned about it anymore.

Spot on.

I don't think there's been an Al Qaeda in over a decade.
