and we saw the administration use the elimination of osama bin laden to justify a u.s. troop drawdown in afghanistan. in 2013, president obama referred to al qaeda's leadership as on the path to defeat. well, around the same time, in august 2011, the heritage foundation released a report, "counterterrorism: the next wave," and in that report we warned against underplaying the international terrorist threat to continued to threaten our country, and we argued against underresourcing efforts to fight that threat. and we noted that despite the fact that our drone strikes had degraded al qaeda's leadership in pakistan's tribal border areas, al qaeda was adapting to the threat, and they were beginning to spread their deadly ideology through affiliated and associated organizations throughout the middle east and north africa. and today, al qaeda and isis control more territory in this region than they have at any other time in history. so i'm going to talk about the terrorism threats that emanate from south asia. so let me start with afghanistan. so the afghan security forces s
