#1 "the next one is only a matter of time "

And when it happens, the will be angrily blaming Bush (and Blair) for it, rather than Al Qaeda. And they certainly won't be looking in the mirror to find the enablers.

#2 Michael Scheuer is promoting the growth of terrorism because it covers the utter lack of success under his watch. If terrorists are growing stronger now, it cannot be his, and his friends' faults.

al Qaeda, at its best, was a loose network of cells based out of Afghanistan. At this time, most of the operational leadership is dead or in captivity, and most of the original foot soldiers are dead. Some of the wacky estimates of al Qaeda's original size would have made Afghanistan the tourist capital of South Asia. Not true.

The Scheuerites have redefined Islamic terrorism from the definition they used when they could have done something about it. Now Hamas and Hezb. are Islamic terrorists. Ten years ago everyone went out of their way to deny that at State and the CIA.

#3 Al-Qaeda in Iraq claims to be doing the bulk of the fighting. And forget Shiite friendly Syria as financiers. The Sunnis are being paid by members of the Saud royal family. That is: there has been no change in Saudi support for terror. The Sauds finally won their campaign to control al-Qaeda.

I have checked out some of the combat claims made on al-Qaeda in Iraq's website. Some check out. I have cause to believe that most sniper murders against US troops, are being done by al-Qaeda. That is one reason why I am surprised that the US is brokering peace negotiations in Jordan, in which al-Qaeda is a party (albeit in another name). Check out al-Qaeda's Shura Council reports:

For those who don't know, "Dajjal Army"(Army of the Anti-Christ) refers to al-Sadr's "Mahdi Army." And you know what they mean by "Crusader." "Lions of Islam" are the suicide murderers.
