Forget the "allies" - they appear to have acted, captured and convicted a few "terrorists" without any help from the US. Has anyone actually been convicted of any "terrorist" offense in the US yet apart from the "shoe bomber"?? (That sure was not any claim to fame for the Admin or intell - the passengers stopped him.)
The Admin claimed this was going to be a "meaningful" speech with data - but ended up more pathetic rhetoric and vague crap quoting 10 vague incidents, - some already known and so minor, they are hardly worth mentioning, - and others even the press secretary alleges he had no clue about. Later they issued a vague memo in a feeble attempt to substantiate the claims. That sunk like a brick as well.
Bush's next claim might as well be "a reliable unknown Pentagon source told me this, - so it must be true".
Like the WMD myth...
The more Bush tries to roll himself up in his comfort blanket as "Commander-in-Chief", rants on about "terrorism" and hypes weak info in the hope of gaining some cred - the more pathetic the whole scenario is.
On the flip side, there probably a few bin Laden plans in progress, but seriously doubt the Whitehouse are privy to the data or have one clue - unless God spoke to George again.
