WASHINGTON:The United States has done “an unbelievable job” in going after and systematically dismantling the core Al Qaeda network in Fata, says US President Barack Obama.

“They still pose a risk, but it’s considerably decreased,” he said in a dialogue together with his troops deployed all over the world.

Sharing his risk-understanding using the troops, he warned that extremists flushed from the Pak-Afghan area had spread out to other regions.

“What is happened with this particular extreme, violent extremism is the fact that it is metastasised and it is spread to other places. At the moment, he said, ground zero for all those actions was with the socalled IS in Syria.

Mr Obama said the hardest portion of his job was to take care of questions which failed to come with enough info to help him determine the best way to answer them.

“And my job is to make a decision based on sometimes imperfect information and you’re working on the percentages.”

Mr Obama said that one such question was whether to raid Bin Laden’s hideout. “When I made the order for us to go in and get Bin Laden at that house in Pakistan, it was probably a 50/50 proposition as to whether that was, in fact, him.”

He acknowledged that the risks of making a wrong decision “obviously were enormous”.

“If I had been making that decision based on wanting to avoid risk and not having somebody talk smack about me, then that might not be a decision that I would have been prepared to make,” he said.

Mr Obama said that despite the progress the US-led alliance had made in Afghanistan, “it’s still critically important that we’ve got thousands of trainers and advisers who are supporting the Afghan military efforts there”. The US combat role in Afghanistan, he said, was over, “but we still have to make sure that they are getting the kind of help and assistance that they need”.

The Notre Dame basketball team is the intercollegiate men’s basketball program representing the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana and United States.

Notre Dame have not reached the round of 16 in 12 years and their last two trips ended in upset losses in the round of 64. The Irish avoided further ignominy by toppling pesky Northeastern, 69-65, at Consol Energy Center. Coach Mike Brey said that after winning the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament last week, this team is different.

The Huskies still nearly joined the ranks of Iowa State and Old Dominion and Winthrop, teams that in recent years drew the higher-seeded Irish in the round of 64 and vanquished them. They did not play a perfect game, their 16 turnovers offset their 33-17 rebounding advantage. Notre Dame’s reputation as a postseason patsy caused by these defeats which the Irish expected to begin erasing during this tournament.

Jackson, who had 8 points and 9 assists, and Auguste, whose pick-and-roll proficiency flummoxed Northeastern, who scored 17 of his game-high 25 points after halftime, none more important than those that came on his two free throws, they may have to give their complete performances, if Notre Dame does go on a run.

The Irish, at tournament time, are not that familiar with that place and Auguste said, put Notre Dame “in a place where we don’t have to worry too much.”. They may be acclimatize after another victory or two.

Those shots, Auguste said, put Notre Dame “in a place where we don’t have to worry too much.” The Irish, at tournament time, are not that familiar with that place. Maybe another victory — or two — will acclimatize them.
