Stockman, that Seattletimes commentary was excellent analysis. Consider this: >>> When the Al-Jazeera network broadcasts the bloodied bodies of Iraqi women and children to the Islamic world, bin Laden will have a terrific recruitment tool. The al-Qaida captives might be only too eager to tell us ? falsely ? that they have links with Iraq if it will promote war. The new bin Laden tape can do the same.<<< seattletimes.nwsource.com You konw, if you think about it, OBL might have used those same images for recruitment from the Bush elder's Gulf War (Highway of Death, bulldozed graves, inner city targets) and also from the effects from Clinton's bombing (baby milk factory anyone?). Bush is hung up on election cycles and manipulating polling opinions and thinks in terms of days weeks and months and the next election. Al Qaeda, given its limited resource capability (we hurt them from the Afghanastan campaign, however), and it's centuries-old struggles of Muslim repression, are thinking in terms of years and decades and scores of decades. That's a pretty long time for Bush's terror alert system, don't you think?
