<<<The tape suggests that if the United States tries to eliminate Saddam, the process will not be quick and
painless as administration officials have claimed. Killing the Iraqi regime will not deal a deathblow to a
mushroom-like "terrorist organism." Bin Laden advises his Iraqi followers: "go and dig many trenches as it was
mentioned before in the holy book, 'Take the earth as your shelter.' Such a way will deplete all your enemy's
reserves in a few months." >>>

Not good planning, not good at all
.Disastrous is a better description. Saddam tried that all the way to Baghdad, trenches beside the roads.
Got decimated, wiped out. By none other than T. F's men.

They already have one safe haven, along the Pakistan-Afghan border. Now, they will rally all the nationalist forces under the flag of militant Islam, and create another base of operations along the Iraq-Iran border. One of the cardinal rules of guerrilla war, is that the anti-guerrilla forces cannot win, if they allow the guerrillas any Safe Havens, any "Base Areas" where the guerrillas are untouchable.
