| Courtesy of NBC's Today show | Vice President Biden says U.S. forces are inflicting "significant damage" on the al-Qaida terrorist network in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Rejecting suggestions that al-Qaida is becoming entrenched in Pakistan, Biden said in
a taped interview broadcast Thursday that the United States is making progress there.
Speaking on NBC's "Today" show, Biden dismissed complaints from some Democrats that
the U.S. is in the region for nation building. He says the U.S. is there to defeat
al-Qaida which poses a "clear and present danger to us."
Biden was interviewed on Wednesday in Fort Drum, N.Y., home to the Army's 10th
Mountain Division.
