Petraeus: ‘Double Digits’ of al-Qaeda Fighters in Afghanistan
By Spencer Ackerman 6/17/10 8:12 AM
Something that couldn’t fit into my piece yesterday but bears
mentioning: Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in the
Middle East and South Asia, told a Senate panel that al-Qaeda’s
presence in Afghanistan numbered in the “double digits.”
In a somewhat heated exchange with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) —
Petraeus at one point told Graham that he preferred “more nuance” than
Graham was willing to provide when describing the state of governance
in Afghanistan — Petraeus said there are “probably very small numbers,
certainly” of al-Qaeda in the country, somewhere in the “double
digits.”

Yeah..
I noted the same thing a few months ago.
Additionally, I noted that the Afghan taliban didn't like the al kaida
being there.
Once again I ask everyone.. 'Why the hell are we spending Billion and
wasting lives there?'
Now whine, stamp your feet twice, and turn to face Mecca again, troll.

---Traitorous 'Spammy' Sam's reply to the fact that 34 Americans
died and 170 were injured when Israel attacked the USS Liberty.
Spammy is a gutless coward who has never served his country in
uniform.
Obama is a total fuck-up and he sabotages himself. He does not need help.
Obama doesn't need anyone to "sabotage" him, he's talented at "screwing
the pooch" himself.
No he doesn't, rightard bigot.

Rightard????
From Obama's oil spill speech
"Abroad, our brave men and women in uniform are taking the fight to
al-Qaeda wherever it exists."

Aug 1, 2007 ... We did not finish the job against al Qaeda in
Afghanistan.
Make that: dumbass rightard.

One example doesn't support your claim.
