Looks Like The "Dakar" Race Won't Be In Dakar Anytime Soon...


Not from the look of things at least...this report from the NYT shows that the Al Qaeda groups in North Africa are actually getting stronger, not weaker. Not much of a surprise given that the governments of most of the countries there are barely out of the stone age but it sure will prevent the ASO from returning the Dakar to Africa any time soon. I don't think the U.S. will be lending much support to the erradication of Al Qaeda forces there with their hands squarely tied behind their back just trying to get a handle on Afghanistan. After two years in South America, will the ASO be looking for some place else to run the event?? I'm betting they will be...
