MK, that was a good article. The next phase in the campaign is where we start lionizing our allies. I still remember how the Viet Cong were supposedly afraid of one tribe who was on our side. And how they ran from Aussie troops. Or how the Koreans and Chinese were afraid of the Turks. Not to take anything away from the fighting prowess of those groups, but their impact on the outcome of those wars was appreciated but not decisive. We always over praise our allies. We always hope that by getting somebody on our side, the other guys will throw up their hands and say "forget it. We're out of here." And it just doesn't happen.

This morning's entries in the cruise missile paint-a-target-on-your-chest contest: Bin Laden Again Denies Responsibility 5:30 a.m. – Osama bin Laden insisted again today that he was not responsible for the devastating terror attacks on New York and Washington, an aide told the Afghan Islamic Press. "I am residing in Afghanistan. I have taken an oath of allegiance [to Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar] which does not allow me to do such things from Afghanistan," bin Laden was quoted as saying in a statement provided by the political aide. "We have been blamed in the past, but we were not involved," he was quoted as saying. Iraq Blames 'American Dissidents' for Attacks 4:00 a.m. – Last week's suicide attacks in New York and Washington were carried out by American dissidents and not Arabs or Muslims, Iraq's Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan said in remarks published today. "They are accusing the Taliban, Arabs and Muslims ... but the executors of the attacks were Americans," Ramadan told the weekly al-Raee newspaper. washingtonpost.com
