re:There is little evidence that we have successfully engaged them in "the financial field" Please, did you miss the near daily reports of bank account closings or blocks not only inside the USA but from our allies all over the world. Near daily? Yes, I missed them. The last one I heard about was early this year. re:In Afghanistan, word is coming out that the Taliban and the warlords are on the ascendancy and that Karzai only controls Kabul. I've read that a few weeks or was it months back, but our media seems busy chasing after some guy who cut off his wifes head and his bimbo girlfriend. And now the media is lying. Bush says nothing. Rummie says everything is fine. So you feel great. Do you have any recent news links? I would expect there to be some ebb and flow of control as I don't think we've committed enough force and money to the effort in Afghanistan. Funny, that's what the media has been saying for some months now. re:If you believe that that these two events are minor, particularly when coming back to back to each other, I think it was a one time "big" event to show they are still kicking and an attempt to recruit some new members. Since they are sorely disrupted, again if we leave Saudi (for whatever reason) it sort of gives some Wahabis less to fight for. Either they're planning the "big one" for the USA or we've hurt them, have you seen any attacks since 9/11 in the USA? According to Ashcroft, there is a big jihad coming where millions of Americans may lose their lives. That's why he wants to expand his powers.
