New But that for them, flies in the face of their goals
They 'want' US citizenry to remain confused & upset by the prison scandal, the beheading just negated that.

I am happy that we agree to disagree on this point but both cases are valid arguments.

Cheers

Doug

#2 Was just remembering that the last time a Bin Laden sanctioned act of horror unified the US, Bin Laden (& his Taliban allies) lost the one country they had conrol of (plus 'some' legitimacy in) at the cost of 1000s of lives & paved the way for George Bush to conjure up a reason for invading Iraq.

Is it a case of al-Qaeda org is it that they just don't learn, or that they figure that if they keep trying enough (at so upsetting & unifying US citizenry) that they will win ? - Only result I see is that Bush can justify further grand-scale military adventures & get senate & public approval to carry them out.

I believe that acts like this one do more to keep Bush in office & thus keep up his focus on destroying al-Qaeda's potential to ever achieve their 'grand' Andalusian goals.

New More likely
More likely that can not admit to themselves that they are defeating their own goals then the neocons can. It's the blindness of somebody that is, or wants to be, totally dedicated to the cause. They can't admit, even to themselves, that what they are doing might be wrong.
