#1 I believe that Al Qaeda is severely disrupted. My proof is that they are starting to shit in their own pool to make continueing attacks against their own Muslims and against less belligerant Muslim governments.

If Al Qaeda has any strategic weapons they are likely to use them quickly in a mass attack: They must know someone will shot his mouth off about the operation and it will be then impossible to execute long range plans.

I am not saying Al Qaeda is finished, but I am saying they not only have shifted their strategy, they have shifted to a strategy that is likely to result in their own destruction.

#2 I'm not sure it indicates disruption - though that would be terrific - but as I've said before, it certainly indicates rather glaring stupidity. I agree wholeheartedly with you conclusion: shitting on your own living room floor is a very very stupid move. There is no way it can generate more support, such as intimidating potential funding, than it will alienate. Let's hope they continue until they burn themselves out of cannon fodder, funding, and state sponsorship. Let's hear it for gross stupidity! ;->

#3 Al Q, in order to carry out a successful mass attack on the US, needs a plan, the materiel, the manpower, positioning, coordination, funding, and secure communications. They are having difficulty getting all the components together in the US now. The longer that they cannot pull off a show, the less their credibility is. I think that their show in Saudi was a critical mistake, because this will jeopordize their funding sources. The govt is going to turn on itself and its citizens, so even with massive Saudi f--kups, the organization will be disrupted. Turkey booms will cause alot of public soul searching and floundering, but it will not provide jihad support. If we, meaning the US and European intelligence agencies can remain vigilant and communicate, despite what some asshat leaders do, we will frustrate Al Q and the tide will slowly but steadily turn against them. There will be no instant victory but it will be gradual as the ME political and social landscape changes.
