Our intelligence community concludes that 'Al Qaeda and its regional node in Iraq are united in their overarching strategy.'
Al Qaeda in Iraq is an organization founded by foreign terrorists, led largely by foreign terrorists, and loyal to Osama bin Laden.
On behalf of the American people, Laura and I extend our condolences to Mohammed Zahir Shah's family and to the people of Afghanistan.
Zahir Shah was a monumental figure in Afghan history.
