From The New York Times today:it is increasingly clear that the Bush administration will leave office with Al Qaeda having successfully relocated its base from Afghanistan to Pakistan’s tribal areas, where it has rebuilt much of its ability to attack from the region and broadcast its messages to militants across the world.That, incidentally, comes from the news section, not the editorial page. It's just a fact. Some folks talk about how Iraq robs the military of resources needed for the fight against bin Laden, but from the Bush administration's perspective, the media's focus on the complicated failure of the war in Iraq has been far better than letting that attention settle on the simple failure of their hunt for bin Laden.Image used under a Creative Commons license from the Soldier's Media Center.
