The answer is simple.
As an organization and threat al-Qaida is barely visable. But as a name, al-Qaida and 'Terrorism' have become the West's handy universal term for armed groups fighting Western influence,corruption or repression in Asia and Africa.
Al-Qaida is nowhere-but everywhere.

Other ways of interpreting the statement in red:
Al-Qaida has gone more underground because they are afraid of attacks.
What the USA and Allies are doing is working.
Think of Al-Qaida as if they were one of the Gangs in a City.
The Law Enforcement cannot just barge in and start killing the Gang Members.
So even if it is expensive and a never ending job.
The result is that while the Gang is never eradicated but Law Enforcement does effect a retardation of the Gangs ability to operate.
So If I followed Your logic I would say since Law Enforcement cannot defeat the Gangs Money and other resources are wasted and We should leave the Gang alone.
I think logic like that would just allow the Gang to grow exponentially.
