Senate Hearings Focus on Resurgence of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan
For President, Increasing Troop Presence in Afghanistan Easier Said Than Done

March 1, 2007 — The Senate's hearings today on the U.S. mission in Afghanistan come at a time of increased pressure on the Bush administration to focus on the war there and the resurgence of the Taliban and al Qaeda.

After meeting with the president and vice president Wednesday, Democratic leaders said that they were happy Cheney was safe but that they were worried about what lay ahead for the war-torn country.

"We believe that Afghanistan is the point of that confrontation with terrorism and we must succeed in Afghanistan," Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said at a news conference after the meeting.

Michael Schuerer, former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, said that al Qaeda was planning to make Sept. 11 look like a day at the beach.

"They will attack in the United States with the worst or from their perspective the best kind of weapon they can find," Schuerer said. "They would certainly like to make it nuclear."

assemble it in their 'batcaves'? :sarcasm:
