Oh lordy, this one is too easy.
Might I direct folks once again to the sage wisdom of General Smedley D Butler, a man who's credentials and reputation are unreproachable.

War is a racket, always has been, always will be.
From East India Trading, to United Fruit, to Dupont, Standard Oil, Hearst, Rockefellar, Rothschild, and now Cheney and Haliburton, as well as the Bilderbergs and Carlysle Group...
Only the names change, but the game never does.

Re: Boiling Frogs.
The problem these days is incompetence.
Someone got a little too free with the heat and right now a substantial percentage of the frogs are jumping around the kitchen makin all amount of racket.
It's not even that their evil rapacious bastards, it's that they're so BAD at it, that I find the most offensive.

Hell yeah, a lil reach-around'd be nice, now an then...
(oh if only I had a webcam to watch reactions to THAT one..)
Seriously tho, the incompetent execution offends me more than the nefarious plan - if we're gonna go for world domination, at least do it right where we stand a chance of actually getting the job done.

It's called 'spin'. OBL was playing w/ the media. Remember those videos of him praising the attacks and taking credit?
I'm so damn tired of folks making things out of nothing while ignoring the most obvious. It's a sad state of....well, humanity.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Al Qaeda will try to tap its allies and resources in Iraq in its efforts to exact another terrorist attack on U.S. soil, according to a top government intelligence report released Tuesday. Officials have expressed concern in the past that the Iraq war is providing a theater for al Qaeda to train insurgents and test the terror network's capabilities.
"In addition, we assess that its association with [al Qaeda in Iraq] helps al Qaeda to energize the broader Sunni extremist community, raise resources and to recruit and indoctrinate operatives, including for homeland attacks," said the declassified summary of the National Intelligence Estimate.

"those videos ... and taking credit" I don't think he did - they were praising Allah, but not actually 'taking credit'. And it was small portion of one video - just a few seconds worth - not "those videos". It doesn't help to over-state your case.

"First, there is an understandable preference to work with known parties and people whose reputation for "getting the job done" is well known."
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Ha ha ha ha ha ... As long as "the job" is putting money in your pocket and the pockets of your friends. As much and as quickly as possible with as little actual investment of time and materials as possible ...

Guess you forget his Fatwah, issued back in '98, huh? Well, so many here can't even remember back to 9/11/01, I shouldn't expect much.
