 U.S. IN 'FIRST PHASE' OF AL QAIDA WAR |
|
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States says it remains in the first stage of
a long war with Al Qaida.A State Department report said Al Qaida and related groups were likely
to stay active for years to come. The report said that despite U.S. efforts
the success against the Islamic insurgency network remains in doubt."Overall, we are still in the first phase of a potentially long war,"
the report, entitled "Country Reports on Terrorism 2005," said. "The
enemy's proven ability to adapt means we will probably go through several
more cycles of action/reaction before the war's outcome is no longer in
doubt. It is likely that we will face a resilient enemy for years to come."This was the first time the U.S. government raised the prospect that the
West and its allies might be unable to defeat Al Qaida. Over the last three
years, the Bush administration has claimed progress in downgrading the Al
Qaida network.
