Apparently, Osama and his deputies have been having a tough time lately. Al Qaeda commanders describe their organization as being “weak” and in “a state of paucity.” The laments of the terrorists were communicated to the now-dead leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in a letter that originated from bin Laden and his inner circle, PowerLine reports.

Perhaps there are better ways to fight al Qaeda. (Although I have yet to hear them.) Still, if al Qaeda’s leaders are complaining of weakness and a lack of recruits, then we must be doing something right.
