I think in the long term the fate of out "in house" cells lies with the fate of their control overseas. We is America, I'm not certain we're contemplating a worst case ground conflict with Iraq, Syria, and Iran, largely because I don't see the preperations. And that's where the enemy resides.

We in America, I'm not certain we're contemplating a worst case ground conflict with Iraq, Syria, and Iran, largely because I don't see the preperations. And that's where the enemy resides.

I admit, I don't want to get involved with Iran, it sounded a couple years ago like there was a generation gap that was threatening the fundamentalists...I'd like them to sit this out based on their history of enmity with Iraq. Syria is Israel Chow, and bon Appetit. I guess I'm repeating myself when I say that my concern is with missions and lunatics that are already deployed with improvised WMD's or worse. It sounds like Germany was playing Hostile-Youth Hostel for the 9/11 murderers. One thing I can agree with you on(I think) is that if the control link to real planners like Zawahiri is kept severed, then the foot soldiers are not going to be as successful as 9/11. God Willing, they'll ALL trip stepping off a curb and take out a mailbox or something. If we can get a real curriculum of how they were trained...Cyanide fabrication sounds like a common elective, we can guess the kind of improvised operations the lowlife infiltrators are likely to come up with while brainstorming around their tea sets(or at stripper clubs if they emulate Atta). That's the kind of background info I'd like to see the press step up to provide...What kind of shopping lists would these yokels know to order? How much cash are they likely to have on their person? Yada Yada

Okay, back to the Wahabbi home base question. In September, when the sun is low, we go into Iraq like the finger of God...Bunkers are no shelter/Hiding in the cities doesn't work because too few civilians are killed by precision bombs to turn Europe into an effective restraint on the US and Brits. The Saudi's turn up the volume on their Fatwas against Israel and the US...Mass protests erupt in all Islamic Populations. Maybe thats the time to tidy up our list of future deportees(and evaluating our foreign aid budget based on the quality of security provided our overseas personnel by host nations)...Pinpoint the provocateurs in the Mosques and demonstrations for surveillance. Again we see the advantage of a slow buildup...Waiting through summer allows more translators to graduate to help with the massive wave of new domestic Humint and Sigint generated by reactions to the "Genocide" in Iraq being perpetrated by the Israeli-loving US(smile when you say that). I think Bush is playing it cool with the Saudi's despite the Mullahs' rhetoric. Its possible that letting the Wahabbi's vent for 4 months might steal their thunder when the sky starts falling on Bagdad. It also allows time for coalitions to fall apart and economies to falter>(ie separating the targets from the chaff)...

So I'm back to thinking the INS restructuring had better be smart and quick, because rush hour is approaching. A good Bush paraphrase...The terrorists chose when to start this, but WE will end it at a time and place of our choosing. Or at least we'll pick when and where to strike the next blow, anyway.
