Summary President Obama has vowed to keep pressure on Al-Qaeda.
US military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan have served to severely cripple Al-Qaedas capacities, Obama said at a White House press conference.Osama bin Laden got the most attention, but before that we decimated some of the upper ranks of Al-Qaeda, he said.The terror group is having a great deal of difficulty operating and financing themselves. Well keep the pressure on, Obama said.US military forces will be withdrawn from Afghanistan in a responsible way that will allow Afghanistan to defend itself and will give us the operational capacity to continue to put pressure on Al-Qaeda until that network is entirely defeated, he said.
