Al Qaeda is as strong as ever (if not stronger) & the war on terror has scared the American people into supporting (or not being able to stop) Bush on almost anything he does.
Take away the war on terror & that all goes away. Bin Laden wouldn't find as many new recruits if the US/Bush wasn't in Iraq & Bush wouldn't have the war time powers that have made him a virtual dictator.
So who wants to win the war on terror and lose all the power? Bush? Bin Laden? I highly doubt either of them want anyone to win the war on terror because it's the fuel that keeps the fire going.

It does appear that way no? The war on terror benefits both men.

Al Qaeda does not exist and never has - Nodwell
http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/101/397/13821_AlQaeda.html
The basic truth is that Al Qaeda does not exist and never has. Al Qaeda is a manufactured enemy who was created by the Bush Administration in order to have an excuse to wage a war for the control of the world’s oil resources.
Did an American even hear the words "Al Qaeda" before 9-11? Or were we told that its alleged leader Osama Bin Laden has family who themselves have personal business relationships with George W. Bush’s family and that both families had financially profited considerably from the "War on Terror"?
Osama bin Laden:
A dead nemesis perpetuated by the US government
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/osama_dead.html
Osama bin Laden is dead. The news first came from sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan almost six months ago: the fugitive died in December [2001] and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan. Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, echoed the information. The remnants of Osama's gang, however, have mostly stayed silent, either to keep Osama's ghost alive or because they have no means of communication.
With an ego the size of Mount Everest, Osama bin Laden would not have, could not have, remained silent for so long if he were still alive. He always liked to take credit even for things he had nothing to do with. Would he remain silent for nine months and not trumpet his own survival? [

Well when you have guy in charge that doesn't have the English skills of a high school sophomore then what can you expect. Hell yeah they need the war on terror. Without FEAR then he has no basis to run his Administration and Bin Laden will not be found.

I am quite sure Bin Laden definately benefits from the publicity and recruiting generated from the war. If you look at what it has done to Bush, couldn't agree that he has benefited a whole lot.
War is bad. Those that start them should have good cause and be willing to suffer consequences of their actions (like Japan). Bush, at least has done that.

Bush is hardly thriving. His ratings are the lowest ever. He has long been a lame duck. Most non-conservatives know he is an idiot. The world laughs every time he speaks. The war on terror is a bogus war. It is unwinnable. At least not by angering millions more Muslims. Bush has played into Al Qaeda's methods -- his failures are the main recruiting tool for them. Many of those caught in recent thwarted terror attacks are well-educated well-settled Muslims from moderate nations. Bush has created more reasons for more moderate Muslims to detest the West. His failed policies (Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, the destruction of Iraq) have given more ammo for moderate Muslims to become extremists. How many of these people in America are plotting the next attack as we speak? How many more Muslims, young and old, will join their cause in the coming years? How many innocent Americans will die because of Bush? Imagine how much better off America would have been had Bush gone after Al Qaeda and Taliban and had dismantled the terror networks in Pakistan, instead of vainly attacking Iraq.

It is beneficial to both. The Bush Family and the Bin Laden Family are partners in the Carslisle group! A government contractor that is supported by WAR!
Dick Cheney has close ties to Halliburton.
Both companies have been awarded no bid contracts since Bush took office with the "war on terror" being the catalist!

Bin laden attacked us first in 1993. Blame that on Bush. Clinton was selling Cuban cigars to female interns in the oval office. That may be a rumor, but I will be the first to apologize. Somebody tried to tell me he was not selling cigars to female interns, he was teaching them sex education and didn't have any fresh cucumbers. That may be a rumor also. Can you believe Al Queda members are turning on other Al Queda members in Iraq because they are tired of them? Can it be the surge is going to work and the dems can eat breakfast off their faces with all that egg they might get on them? Humble pie is good too. Some of them tell the lie that we are arming Sunnis, when even CNN showed the General say we are only giving them ammo.

Follow the money my friend. Bush and making friends and influencing people in the military complex. The US is spending billions every month on services and products for our military in Iraq. Bin Laden on the other hand is probably dead and has been for some time.

How does the war benefit Bush? Bush is not a dictator, if you think that ANY American president has been a dictator you have no idea of what a dictator is or does.
Saddam is a fair example. Look at how many of his own people he killed just because he didn't like the way the looked or their ethnic background and look at the people he had killed just because the disagreed with him. No president has ever done any ting of the sort or even close to it. To accuse Bush of getting to be a dictator because he wouldn't sit by and do nothing after terrorist killed over 3,500 Americans is the talk of an absolute moron.

The things is the CIA began the fire, and still maintain this fire like it was used to be... So my question is: does Ben Laden REALLY know that what he is doing is for nothing else than puting more money in the hands of the warmongerer of this world, that need this war to increase their domination on its own peoples...
I guess we should stop complaining about others, we have much to clean in our own house, and from what I see, there is a lot of garbages (not dust) under our carpets...
