Analyst counters Bush on Al Qaeda Says biggest threat is in S. Asia, not Iraq

By Bryan Bender, Globe Staff July 26, 2007
WASHINGTON -- A day after President Bush sought to present evidence showing that Iraq is now the main battlefront against Al Qaeda, the chief US intelligence analyst for international terrorism told Congress that the network's growing ranks in Pakistan and Afghanistan pose a more immediate threat to the United States.
In rare testimony before two House committees, Edward Gistaro, the national intelligence officer for transnational threats, said that Al Qaeda terrorists operating in South Asia are better equipped to attack the United States than the network's followers in Iraq are.
Asked which arm of Al Qaeda concerned him the most, Gistaro told a joint session of the House armed services and intelligence panels that it was South Asia.
"The primary concern is in Al Qaeda in South Asia organizing its own plots against the United States," he said. Al Qaeda planned the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks from its bases in Afghanistan.
The top leaders of the terrorist network, Gistaro added, are "able to exploit the comfort zone in the tribal areas" of Pakistan and Afghanistan and are "bringing people in to train for Western operations.".....

I guess because his Iraqi al Qaeda speech was local, he had it in Charleston, it got major coverage from Columbia TV station. The Mad Master Ferret sounded very shrill and even less in touch with reality than he usually is these days. In a strange way I'm almost convinced that despite the bubble of isolation Bush has lived in these last few years it may finally be sinking into his head how badly he has screwed the country and world. Which gives me no comfort because of what he might do to try and restore his image. A spoiled brat never loses without trying to make everyone else pay.
