thats about the way I read it too.

Maybe Bin Laden realizes hes pinned in. maybe its just for show? Who knows, but I seriously doubt hes giving up.

I also keep thinking that it must be galling to them all, including Soros and the donks, to have spent all this time, money, lives and the result is that the US economy is doing well, market went up in triple digits yesterday ,W's popularity is high, the Iraqis voted, the Lebanese are staging a revolution, Pali forces are confronting the terrorists there, the Euros are writing articles about maybe Bush was right...etc.

Maybe they haven't *given up*, but they sure as he!! haven't been successful, in the long run. You can never rule out the fabled Arab braggadocio, either.
