"All that we have mentioned has made it easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.
This is in addition to our having experience in using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers, as we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat."
"So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy".
And it was to these sorts of notions and their like that the British diplomat and others were referring in their lectures at the Royal Institute of International Affairs. [When they pointed out that] for example, al-Qaida spent $500,000 on the event, while America, in the incident and its aftermath, lost - according to the lowest estimate - more than $500 billion.
Meaning that every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs.
As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

He sure has, so far.
You've elaborated your point, nice and clear.
Billions of dollars are wasting monthly on a lost war plus, bush with these ingenious!! ideas/projects now and then, like the recent "disastrous report card", gives BL a better advantage of reaching his goal.

Osama bin weighted down made us a sufferer of our very own paranoia.

The fulfillment of bin weighted down's efforts is measured interior the form of Conservatwits who will insist to immediately that a thank you to win the war against terrorism is to start a marketing campaign and work together in ethnic and non secular cleansing of all Muslim peoples.

People have a hard time putting 1 and 1 together. I wonder what will happen when Countries like China or Saudi Arabia stop lending money because they don't think they are good for it anymore.

Nobody can win any of those fake wars War on terror , the war on drugs , the war on crime , the war on poverty , the war on ignorance .
Whatever the outcome of these "wars" , some of the problem will always be there.
America will in no way be weakened by the fracus in Iraq . This is nothing compaired to fighting Germany and Japan . In that war, America came out the most powerful nation the world has ever known. We were much stronger and richer than before the war started. We shipped food to most of the world. What we see now in Iraq is child's play in comparison. And it was all done without the permission or will of Allah ( pees on him )

He clearly understands the situation better than Bush does, and that's truly sad. We need more intelligent leadership to deal with this sort of menace. Just throwing more money and troops at the problem won't make it go away. It only plays into their hands.

Don't you mean the Iraq war? You can't have a war against an ideal. The "war on terror" isn't real, so, nobody can win it.

It's much cheaper to surrender.
I'm on "dial a terrorist" right now, ordering the "decapitation with a sharp knife" special.

No, but defeatist rhetoric emboldens them, such as when Democrats say that "Americans are suffering" and stuff like that sends a message of defeat ... we don't need it.
