I joke about Al Qaeda's latest threat against us, but the fact is as long as there is an Al Qaeda there is a constant threat. Do you really think they're gone?
But the good news is we do not have to take down countries anymore to get them. The rest is a mop-up operation.
But despite them, the biggest threat to the country right now is not military.
