If they attacked here it would strengthen George Bush and the Republicans and their interest is in strengthening a different party so after the next election things will be better for them. Brian York’s piece on the National Security Democrats hits the benefits to Al Qadeda to supporting and electing Democrats.

Absolutely correct.
Attacking Iraq worked in showing American unpredictability and resolve to change world political support for terror. They know now they need far more a timid leadership in place if they want to be successful in getting back to the status quo they had before 9/11.
Democratic leadership is far easier to predict and manipulate using terror and lawfare on the global stage.
Exactly! They learned from 9/11 how swift and furious America strikes when you attack us. (I think they actually fear this Administration). So instead they take their time, play the victim and do their best to help Americans forget about the threat they pose. They'll do their best to put a bleeding heart liberal into office so they can attack again with less fear of retaliation.
Exactly so. And this is such a key point, it drives me crazy that the republican leadership--not to mention the citizenry--cannot grasp the importance of this simple, central point:
We. Have. Not. Been. Attacked.
The enemy has not given up. They've not lost interest or changed their goals. They've declared over and over both their unwavering desire and sworn intent to strike as at home on a scale equal to or worse than 9-11. That they haven't cannot be sheer luck.
If for no other reason than that one revelation by Tenet--al-qaeda is HERE--I hope Tenet's book gets tons of media play.
