The New Bin Laden Tape

By Marc Schulman on War on Terror

From QandO via Instapundit:

One year ago, Al Qaeda believed they should work against the United States, rather than working to destabilize the Arab regimes. One year ago, Al Qaeda was focusing outward, rather than inward. One year ago, Al Qaeda believed in coexistence with the House of Saud.

One year ago, Al Qaeda believed the Caliphate could best be established by detente with the House of Saud, and War against the United States.

Today, Al Qaeda seeks detente with the US, and war against the House of Saud.

That's because they're losing.

I responded with what I thought would be a mini-lesson on the Core and the Non-integrated Gap...phrased in HS vernacular of the traditional "HAVES", and "WANNA HAVES" v. the "HAVE NOTS", and the "PISSED OFF BECAUSE THEY DON"T HAVE"/DON'T WANTS".

Had Barnett framed his theory that way it would never have gotten any traction with the reds. What a difference a label makes.
