"Let's beat them to it. Why not attack them EVERY month?"

Best solution I've ever heard! 100% behind that one!

Hmm...one attack just before each of their quarterly tax payments is due - I think these guys are just trying to maintain their non-profit status. It may be time to break out the big guns - sic the IRS on 'em!

"As the memory of September 11 recedes, the West is likely to witness another mass casualty attack on Western soil," Rohan Gunaratna told a south-east Asian outlook forum in Singapore."

If that is the case, then eventually the American people will get fed up with it, and stop listening to the liberal Dimocrats altogether. After we nuke Mecca, and a few other key cities in the Arab world the Muslims will be hollerin' "Uncle."

The media (typically) missed the real point of this story: the fact that Al Qaeda is still relying on surrogates to carry out most of its attacks is an indication of an organization that's still in disarray, thanks to two years of pounding by the U.S. military and our intelligence agencies.

While Al Qaeda is far from defeated, 2004 is shaping up as a potential make-or-break year for bin Laden and the boys. The terrorist organization that established itself as the only one capable of launching major attacks on U.S. soil hasn't been able to mount one since 9/11--and not for a lack of trying, either. That's one reason Al Qaeda is having money problems. Middle-class Saudis and other casual backers of Al Qaeda are having second thoughts, and are less likely to give money to an organization that (in their view) may be past its peak. And eventually, some of the Al Qaeda surrogates may grow tired of doing bin Laden's bidding as well. As the score new successes against the central network, we can begin devoting more resources to the various Al Qaeda affiliates. And, at some point, the cost of being associated with bin Laden will outweight the potential benefits, and Al Qaeda may find it more difficult to recruit willing surrogates.

"Al-Qaeda is expected to launch attacks every three months in 2004, with growing threats from a number of smaller terrorist organisations, an international terrorist expert warned on Wednesday."

And it will be easier to do with our new open door immigration policy with Mehico.
