Yea, and as a teenager I had plans for bedding multiple cheerleaders. Al-Qaida’s are as realistic as mine
Good point, but to the Left-wing press, the mere fact that Al-Qaeda still has the capability to plan terrorist events (no matter how fanciful and unrealistic that planning might be) is "proof" of Bush Administration "failure" to utterly annihilate the UBL threat within a Media-imposed time limit. IMO, every time one of these AQ schemers is captured, his pals are forced to scatter, abandon whatever pipe dream they were working on (on the assumption that they've been compromised), and start working on "plan b". While the AQ rank and file would dearly love to score big, the threat of a summer vacation in GITMO really has them psyched out. That's why they tried to infiltrate Guantanamo, and why they've made meaningless threats about what they'd do to the US if they're captured minions are put on trial. Frederick Forsythe style "Jackals", who keep on plan regardless of increased risk of failure, these AQ types aint.
