Don't I remember Obama making the statement during the campaign that Al Qaeda is stronger than at any time since 2001? I guess this "succession of blows" has just happened since the election?American officials say Pakistan’s tribal areas remain home to the core leadership of Al Qaeda, though Mr. Blair said that its leadership had been battered in recent months by what he called “a succession of blows as damaging to the group as any since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.”
