The State Department Confirms that Bush Has No Plan for the War on Terror

The State Department, today, issued its annual terrorism report and things are not going well in the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region.  From McClatchy:

Terrorist attacks in Pakistan doubled last year and casualties there from terrorism quadrupled, as extremists reasserted their hold in tribal areas and attempted to extend their reach deep into the country, the State Department said in an annual report Wednesday.

There was also a 16 percent increase in terrorist attacks in neighboring Afghanistan in 2007, the report on global terrorism trends said.

Taken together, the findings confirm that the struggle against terrorism in the troubled Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, which many specialists consider the central battleground in the fight against al Qaida and its affiliates, was set back last year. The report said that al Qaida has proven “adaptable and resilient” and used a failed cease-fire agreement along the Afghan-Pakistan frontier to reconstitute its capabilities.
