I like your advice on attacking back. However, this part is just to reassure yourself and anyone that will listen. IMO "All that said, it still doesn't make logical sense for Al Qaeda to attack in the United States before the election, as that will give Bush an easy victory."

Bush just claimed electing him makes America safer, it will be thrown in his face. The only logic they use is satans and it doesn't map to yours or mine and finally I don't think they care whether it's Kerry or Bush as long as it's America they hit.

I'm with you. I think they are politically savvy enough to game a situation where people would just fold their tents rather than put up with the carnage (like Spain did).

They could pull an all out Tet styled offensive right here in the good ole USA. It could be the all or nothing attack. All cards turned up simultaneously. And it might work to turn people off to our present course of action.

The mark on his forehead is a callous from hitting his head on the floor while praying.

That makes sense, I hadn't thought of that.

thanks. }:)

and put them onto what alternative course of action? negotiation? surrender?

Were you born in the Middle East? America? Or did you convert?

[Calpernia]

I was actually hoping you weren't a convert. I would love a conversation with a Middle Eastern born 'moderate Muslim'.

Do you speak Arabic?

[MarMema]

and the only chance you have is through taking out the enemy first.

I agree. If anything happens we should never just submit to any sort of hostage situation. Those 20 men in the Russian school would have been better off to just attack in the very beginning, before the explosives were hung. They were executed later anyway.

[Calpernia]

>>>I'd say most any Middle Easterner you see would a "moderate"

You would hope. But the 'moderates' I've met ended up not being moderate. Hence my questions I have.

lol!!! Boy do I know where you are coming from!!

[Netizen]

What's on his forehead? (target marking?)

Mark of Cain? ;)

"As for the Americans, they are now lying in their trenches, refusing to come out to meet the mujahedeen..

Typical Arab B.S. notice the good doctor was careful to have his "background covered" so as to conceal his location...Okay tough guy why don't you pick up that macho rifle "prop" and step out into the open and fight... Yeah right.

[lawdog]

No, that is too quick...shoot him in the knees first..then the stomach..then the head.
