when i finally made it home on 9/11, after having to cut across NJ and work my way up thru Penn. to get back into NY state, the first observation i made was this: knowing that they couldn't launch a full scale attack on the continental US, and knowing what cowboys we tend to be, what better way to kill lots of americans than to have them come to the terrorists turf?

accomplish nothing?
al queda has gotten thousands of americans on their turf, on their terms, and are killing the hell out of 'em.
they have been able to use the war to recruit more members than ever; i mean, just look at how many men they have in the #2 position alone! we keep capturing the "number 2" man in al queda.
can you imagine haw many guys they have filling the #3 slot? it boggles the mind.

you really think bin laden planned the attacks and didn't think, "hmmm... the americans are prob gonna head over here soon, 'cause this is really gonna piss them off"?
bin laden's attacks on the US went as planned, and our response was part of his plan.
he just got the added bonus of the occupation in iraq to use as a recruitment point and training ground for his fu@kin' terrorists.
