Report says Terror Threat will Continue

More Bush scare tactics? What are you doing about it, Mr.President? Maybe you should pull us out of Iraq so that we can use those National Guard troops to protect our open borders:

The United States will face a "persistent and evolving" terrorist threat in the next three years, as al-Qaida bolsters its efforts to plant terror plotters in the country and other related activities, according to a new National Intelligence Estimate to be made public Tuesday.

Several of the nation's top intelligence officials — including National Intelligence Council Chairman Thomas Fingar and FBI Deputy Director John Pistole — were to brief reporters on the declassified key findings of the document, which was years in the making.

What this report doesn't mention is that the war in Iraq has made al Qaeda stronger. And they now have a strong base of operations in Pakistan because we are ignoring the war in Afghanistan:

_The group has been able to restore three of the four key elements it would need to launch an attack on U.S. soil: a safe haven in Pakistan's tribal areas, operational lieutenants and senior leaders. It could not immediately be learned what the missing fourth element is.

_The group will step up its efforts to position operatives inside the U.S.

_The U.S. will face "a persistent and evolving terrorist threat" over the next three years. The main danger comes from Islamic terrorist groups, especially al-Qaida, and is "driven by the undiminished intent to attack the homeland and a continued effort by terrorist groups to adapt and improve their capabilities."
