Al Qaeda's training camps are back in business - and the terrorists are advertising them with slick new videos.

The imagery is familiar to anyone who has seen grainy footage of masked Al Qaeda recruits in Afghan terror camps learning how to maim and assassinate.

The appalling scene could be Osama Bin Laden's Afghanistan training camp before former President Bill Clinton pulverized it with cruise missiles in August 1998.

But these videos were shot recently - likely this year - at a secret Al Qaeda camp somewhere in the tribal no-man's land that separates Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"Al Qaeda has comfortably rebased itself on the border," terrorism expert Peter Bergen, who recently returned from Afghanistan, told the Daily News.

10. The way this is going...we'll find camps in every 3rd world country

how's that for global population control?

2. So why hasn't Our Popular War President bombed these camps???

Unlike Saddam's I-raq, they pose a direct threat to our freedom and Christofacist Republican Family Values.

If the Pakistanis object - too bad. They're either with us or agin us. They can STFU and get out of the way.

We have to fight them over there...etc...

5. Good question. I doubt they have nukes.

Then again, they don't control the flow of one drop of oil, either.

7. He's probably bankrolling them for another terra attack!

I wouldn't put ANYTHING past these lying thieves.

3. "tribal no-man's land that separates Afghanistan and Pakistan"

How bad could this place be? Apparently so bad that the even delta force 1 or whatever it's called and the Navy Seals take a hands off approach. It must be 1000x worse than Baghdad I guess.

4. Islamist groups (I won't call this Al Qaeda) are "adapting to win"

I bet Meelyman would be proud.

6. A good measure of the "success" of Iraq in "fighting terror".

[agincourt]

8. They also have a half dozen terrorist training camps,

in the disputed Khasmir province. But hey W is tough on terrorism, another shot of meth please.

9. Oh yeah, we've got 'em on the run, alright. We're safer now, aren't we?

:grr:
