Then I'm guessing that you think Osama & Co. are pleased with the way things have gone for them after 911.

Yeah, they are crafty. They are probably huddled in some cave laughing about how they have us right where they want us.

I would agree that this story seems like a stretch but who knows? We are supposed to be smart but still do some dumb things. I will not accept the premise that they are any smarter than we are so the story could be true.

If they are as smart as you seem to believe, they will re-think their Jihad because any way you look at it we will make them pay a hundred fold and if that doesn't work we will make them pay a million fold.
