Re: Bin Laden intervention

It took him nearly 3 years to put this video together.

As far as Binnie's role in 9/11 -- I'm sure he was involved in the planning, but most experts seem to believe he's more like the spokespoerson for the organization than it's brains. He crafts "the media message" but someone else coordinates all the battlefield details. Maybe you could say Binnie is the Bush, and Dr. Zawarhi is the Karl Rove . . .

The airplane hijacking trick was very clever, but it's not going to work a second time. (The only reason it worked so well the first time was the assumption that hijackers take airplanes to get the hostages and use them to bargain for something . . . nobody imagined "suicide hijackings.")

Not sure what other technique they could use to produce that kind of result . . . except a nuke. In which case Bush's "fear mongering" would turn out to be an accurate warning that should have been heeded.

My feeling is that AQ attacks have become smaller and more sporadic for the simple reason that the organization has been on the receiving end of a few years of "war on terror" now, and yes it has produced results.
