I have to admit that Bin Laden is scary, but I hope the voting public is on to the fact that Bush continues, and perhaps is doing less, about the threat of Bin Laden now than he was not doing after the 9/11 bombings,(9/11 Commission implementation).<br /> I find it hard to believe that we, as a nation, are safer under Bush and the “Do Nothing Congress” then we were before. Bin Laden bides his time, and that is what we should be aware of. Not Bushes empty rhetoric.<br /> Matt</p> Well it looks like it is that time in the election Cycle when Bin Laden is trotted out by Bush to scare the average voter.

Eureka Springs, AR – no problem :)

Hey, Eureka Springs, I got your reply. Thanks for moving the EPA antiwhistleblower back story along.

Al-Qaida could win neither a military battle nor a war against the US. It did nevertheless achieve the aim of the attacks: to drive an insurmountable psychological wedge between the US and the Arab and Muslim worlds.

of course, this is not only Al Qaida’s aim, it is also the neocon’s aim. Just listen to the rantings of Ann Coulter about the muslim world. Al Qaida and the neocons are willfully and effectively separating America and Islam.

Why then should we consider the neocons with any less contempt than we have for Al Qaida?

Cheney had to have known. Now reconsider his Wilson op-ed margin comments: “Or did his wife send him on a junket?”
