Norway Bombing
But, it turns out that the perpetrator of the attack was not at all a jihadist.
Let Jennifer Rubin's presumption be memorialized; especially since she has not yet issued a formal retraction.
Jennifer Rubin said:Moreover, there is a specific jihadist connection here: Just nine days ago, Norwegian authorities filed charges against Mullah Krekar, an infamous al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist who, with help from Osama bin Laden, founded Ansar al Islam a branch of al Qaeda in northern Iraq in late 2001.
This is a sobering reminder for those who think its too expensive to wage a war against jihadists. I spoke to Gary Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute, who has been critical of proposed cuts in defense and of President Obamas Afghanistan withdrawal plan. There has been a lot of talk over the past few months on how weve got al-Qaeda on the run and, compared with what it once was, its become a rump organization. But as the attack in Oslo reminds us, there are plenty of al-Qaeda allies still operating. No doubt cutting the head off a snake is important; the problem is, were dealing with global nest of snakes.
