How do these documents from prior to May 2, 2011 speak to the status of al-Qaeda in 2012?

Well, I will take a stab at that one since, well it's a no brainer. Osama spun down a majority of the offensive and defensive against them prior to 2011. If that is the case, how could they have been "on the run" after 2011 if they were not on the run before?

What does "spun down" mean? Is it your belief that Osama bin Laden was not managing al-Qaeda operations prior to 2011. Or is it your belief that al-Qaeda had ceased being operational prior to 2011?

"The White House provided 17 handpicked documents to the Combatting Terror Center at the West Point military academy, where a team of analysts reached the conclusion the Obama administration wanted. Bin Laden, they found, had been isolated and relatively powerless, a sad and lonely man sitting atop a crumbling terror network."

"After a pitched bureaucratic battle, a small team of analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency and Centcom was given time-limited, read-only access to the documents. The DIA team began producing analyses reflecting what they were seeing in the documents.

At precisely the time Mr. Obama was campaigning on the imminent death of al Qaeda, those with access to the bin Laden documents were seeing, in bin Laden’s own words, that the opposite was true. Says Lt. Gen. Flynn: “By that time, they probably had grown by about—I’d say close to doubling by that time. And we knew that.”

This wasn’t what the Obama White House wanted to hear. So the administration cut off DIA access to the documents and instructed DIA officials to stop producing analyses based on them."

They had overwhelming data that showed the opposite - they cherry picked data to tell a story they knew was BS. They knew Al Qaeda was growing all over in about half a dozen countries per the article.

Obama lied to the US public and he lied to military analysts by withholding data...so he could tell a lie to help him win reelection. You cheer on this lie and pretend like you can't read an article...no integrity.

As I already explain, the above is the flaw in your logic. Your article never once says that the DIA got redacted/handpicked information.

The only place that claim is made is when mentioning the CTC. So either you are calling the CTC a military organization or you are making a false accusation against the administration; One that even your source article did not make.

either way, you are wrong.

See the problem is that my quote shows that I am correct, you are just too big of a sheep to read through or think. Bahh baah!

The DIA is a military organization. So is Centcom. They were restricted from the documents - limited access and weren't allowed to use them in their analysis --- those documents ended up being true, but they told a story that was not good for re-electing Obama and Obama's lies that he was telling the American people.

Sheep on! For the good of your country and the good of yourself....use your brain for a change and think.
