Blow up two building here, crash a few planes there, disrupt the world economy, get the ennemy to attack then, you make your real statement. It's like a game of chess. Do you use your queen to take out the other guys queen or you move her out of the way and try to take the other guys queen with your pawn? I'm a move her out of the way type of guy. Position everything the way you want and then, you check mate the other guy! He's a lunatic but he's not an idiot. You get a bigger effect out of a build up than you would out of a single strike.
I guess it depends on your style of chess
Given the fact that proceeding the 11 Sept, 2001 attack Usama and his boys were running their mouths about how they would make the USA howl, and their stated goal is to bring down the great "Satan".
Personaly I think Usama is an Idiot, look at what he did, he brought a box cutter to a gun fight. A gun fight with the baddest SOB in the world, then he was not able to really follow up his first thrust with anything more than a jab. And now he has this "I got nukes" threat, after the USA news media has spent weeks talking about what if he gets nukes! Usama is puffing his orginization up, just like a animal that is facing a bigger animal.
Usama is a good tacticain (sp?) he struck at our economy while we are in a ression in hopes of bringing us down. He knows that we are in a death fight, the big question is do we?
