CONDOLEEZZA RICE: To be clear, we are after Osama bin Laden. He is being chased by Pakistani forces and Afghan forces and American and other forces. We have broken up 75 percent of the al Qaeda known leadership. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia fully...

WOLF BLITZER: Well, when you say 75 percent, of how many leaders are we talking -- 75 percent of a quantity of what? 30, 25?

RICE: Of its known leadership.

BLITZER: But how many...

RICE: I would suspect that that's in the tens to hundreds -- tens to 100.

National Security Advisor

Did Rumsfeld ever mention unknown knowns? I don't think so.

BLITZER: Let's talk about some of the things that the president said at the debate because some of them seem to be a little bit sloppy, got repetitive, as you well know.

But listen to this one excerpt of what he said briefly about Abdul Qadeer Khan, the former Pakistani nuclear scientist who helped create the Pakistani bomb, and obviously that no longer exists. But listen to what the president said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The A.Q. Khan network has been brought to justice.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: To justice? The guy has been -- Khan has been freed. He's been pardoned by President Musharraf. And none of his associates have been brought to justice.

RICE: Well, his associates are in the process of being brought to justice. BSA Tahir (ph) is in custody. Several other members are in custody.
BLITZER: But Khan himself lives in a villa. And the IAEA would like to question him, and the Pakistani government doesn't even allow that to happen.

RICE: I think we all know that A.Q. Khan was a particular kind of figure in Pakistani lore, a national hero. And Musharraf has dealt with what is a very difficult situation about A.Q. Khan, by making certain that he's out of business, making certain that he loses the kinds of privileges that he had to travel and the like.

The important thing is that the A.Q. Khan network is out of business. And people are being brought to justice.

Yes.
It IS hilarious that some of the dipsticks on board here are such die hard Republicans that they defend these lying stealing crooks.
That is funny stuff.

No no, Rice would actually make a great Presidential candidate.

We know Bin Laden and Zarqawi are free.
So, it's probably more than 10.
That 75% number has been thrown around for a long time now.
I suspect it will remain at 75% for a long time to come.
Perpetual war. Gotta love it!

No more hilarious than the way you and others damn the US for manipulating sovereign governments around the world and then get mad when Musharraf doesn't follow our plan.

Get with the program, will you. We are currently arguing that Zarqawi is not al Qaeda . Are you trying to ruin everything?

The problem is this administration has two strategies to deal with security issues, massive military expeditions, or little to nothing. Then we have the issue of addressing non-threats by using the military, while all the actual threats fall in the little to nothing category.
