Is al Qaeda a world-wide organization or not? Two Austrians, Wofgang Ebner and Andrea Kloiber, were kidnapped in Tunisia on 22 February. Al Qaeda of North Africa says they kidnapped the couple in response to the Israeli incursion into Gaza. That happened five days after the kidnapping, but then al Qaeda was probably just acting in anticipation. I wonder if Democrats acknowledge that al Qaeda is in Tunisia, or in the Philippines, or in Somalia. According to Democrats the local law enforcement organization should be able to handle the situation in Tunisia. I wonder if anyone actually believes that will happen?
