GAO: U.S. has no plan to fight al Qaeda in Pakistan.


Thinkprogress:


The Government Accountability Office released a report today concluding that the United States has no plan to combat al Qaeda and other terrorist threats in Pakistan. The GAO found that “[t]errorists are still operating freely in Pakistan along the country’s Afghanistan border, despite the U.S. giving Pakistan more than $10.5 billion in military and economic aid.” In a glaring rebuke of President Bush’s terrorism policy, the report says that there is “no comprehensive plan” to “destroy the terrorist threat and close the safe haven in Pakistan,” and “al Qaeda had regenerated its ability to attack” the United States.

The safest man in the World is Osama Bin Laden. Right now Osama might be in California vacationing with family and visiting Disneyland. As Bush said he doesn't think about Osama. Now Pakistan is to have Al Qaeda yet the Olympic Torch ceremony was held and was great without any problems. One can only guess why. With Al Qaeda all over the place yet no problem.
