the one thing i could not answer was how would he do this from a cave up in northern waziristan? i could not imagine you could do this. as soon as i heard he was in ibadibad and there were fiber- optic connections, that answer that. you did not have to depend entirely on a courier system. there might be other methods that could be used. i would like to finish by saying that i and a stand that making this assertion, that this is not -- i understand that making this assertion, that this is not a terrorist group, that it is something that is becoming a global insurgency, has a lot of policy implications, some of which are tremendously and palatable. but i do not believe that you should ignore what reality is telling you because, one, you can afford it or, to, you do not like what reality is telling you. the fact that we cannot afford to have a global insurgency elected in anbar province, that should not keep this from dealing with the problems that we're dealing with. i and a stand that there is tremendous policy implications from everything -- i understand that there is tremendous
