Al-Qaeda remains 'number one threat' to US

I would prefer to use "Al-Qaeda remains to be a pain in the butt". That should make them angry as well as that make some sense. Barack Obama said that Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden remain the "number one threat" to US security, after a new voice recording emerged from the terror group's leader."Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda are our number one threat when it comes to American security," Obama told reporters, after the recording warned the president-elect of new fronts in bin Laden's self-styled holy war against Western interests.We're going to do everything in our power to make sure that they cannot create safe havens that can attack Americans. That's the bottom line. He then added I think that we have to so weaken his infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function.The 22-minute audio recording, whose authenticity was confirmed by the US-based Site Intelligence Group, was the first commentary from the Al-Qaeda leader in eight months.Obama has vowed to boost development in Afghanistan and shift the focus of the "war on terror" from Baghdad to Kabul as he winds down the war in Iraq. Things are going to get tougher in Afghanistan before they get better," he said, adding that "Pakistan's position on Afghanistan is going to affect our ability to succeed." actually that is good sign that Obama is concerned about US security but I think he should remember there are biggest threat in US along with terrorism.
