The real threat of Al Qaeda is where they have been for years now, enjoying the benefits and safety of their newfound altruistic relationship with the Bush administration, which needs them as justification for planting and nurturing the seeds of empire in Iraq.

Talk $h!t.
It's been well documented that OBL hated Saddam, who was a secularist. Saddam's ties to Al Qaeda were not large, a few Al Qaedians were in Iraq, I imagine Saddam met with a few -- keep your friends close and your enemies closer . . . .
Bush and Cheney have poured, at great expense, an enormous amount of fuel of the fire and have given OBL the propaganda coup of his dreams.
Who would'a thought: arrogant pompous ass OBL outwits the Dubya-meister.
