Twenty U.S. embassies will remain closed through Saturday in the Middle East and Africa, where the Religion of Peace thrives. Terrorism expert Thomas Joscelyn warned, however, that al Qaeda does not give up. Wait, I thought Obama told us during the last presidential campaign that al Qaeda was "on the run!"
But in the long term, "Al-Qaeda doesn't give up on plans."The Oct. 12, 2000, suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole occurred after a failed attempt against the U.S.S. Sullivans in January of that year. The destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 2001 came after a previous attempt to destroy one of the World Trade Center buildings in 1993, with a truck bomb.
"When they have plans on the books, if they think they're good plans they come back to them," Joscelyn said.
A worldwide security alert remains in effect through August 31. This week marks the 15th anniversary of terrorist attacks on U.S embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Tanzania that killed hundreds of people. What, you don't remember those? Neither do I.
thanks to Instapundit, who asks, "Is al Qaeda on the run, or are we?"
