that Islamic extremism and terrorism is a major threat to not only the US, but the world...and that this movement and ideaology is funded and fueled by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

However, I question what exactly the media and the government classify as "Al Qaeda". I don't think it's nearly as centralized as the administration would like to believe. I don't believe it's an organization that has a CEO per se or any real formal leadership.

I also think this administration is guilty of not taking the threat seriously before 9/11 and after. Instead we've decided the best way to win the "war on terror" is to give billions of dollars to SA and Pakistan.
