No links to Al Qaeda... okay. I wonder why OBL's latest tape (and hasn't he become the K-tel of terrorists with these tapes) is directed at Europe and not at us?
After all America is mowing down terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, but Europe has taken a far more conciliatory approach to Al Qaeda. Yet OBL is all worked up about cartoons, and he's making threats against Europe. You'd think that he'd target his wrath at us.
Maybe OBL, and Al-Qaeda are nothing but a bunch of bullies who can't handle anyone who stands up to them, but who are more than willing to attack those who they perceive as weak.
And more importantly maybe OBL realizes that after five years of fighting we have not backed down, not an inch. In fact we've learned more about combat in his own backyard than he can imagine. And despite his best efforts to shape our policy he has failed, despite the media and despite the polls. This, all of his, is why someday we will celebrate GWB's Presidency.
