U.S., World: White House’s John Brennan: We can take out al-Qaeda now
- We’re going to try to take advantage of this opportunity we have now with the death of al Qaeda’s leader, bin Laden, to ensure that we’re able to destroy that organization. We’re determined to do so and we believe we can.

Do you guys think he’s right, or just on a bit of a high right now? source
