Where's al-Qaeda?

Most certainly in places other than merely Iraq. The Washington Post reports that:

"The back-to-back nature of the deadly attacks in Egypt and London, as well as similarities in the methods used, suggests that the al Qaeda leadership may have given the orders for both operations and is a clear sign that Osama bin Laden and his deputies remain in control of the network"

Unfortunately for our national security Osama bin Laden has been pushed to the backburner in favor of Iraq. Hopefully these horrific acts of terrorism will serve as a wakeup call to our government that Osama still poses a major threat to the United States. Otherwise another 9/11 is bound to happen.
