Interesting. How credible is Ray Robinson? Does anyone have a handle on him?

Wow, I hope this is true. Boy that would be some psy op to lure alqueda out of Pakistan and into Tora Bora.

It worked. That’s why those camps emptied out.

I remember recent speculation that those camps had emptied out because a big new terror operation in the US was imminent. This piece provides an interesting alternative explanation.

Fantastic article.

And a GREAT reason why all the top Dem. candidates are suddenly not supporting an automatic pull out of Iraq if they should win the White House!!

Even though these scumbag Dems won’t say it outloud, they KNOW our strategy is winning and even they won’t ruin that effort.

The author makes a number of mistakes - too many to mention. For example,

"By way of correlation, you may remember..."

Correlation does not imply causation. In short, the author needs to go back and review statistics (sigh).

This is a very long and very interesting article.

Just a comment. During my working life, I learned that it is much more effective to compose relatively short notes with several points to be made. A series of such notes is just fine. But, to put 20 points into one article is very, very difficult to write coherently and very dificult for most consumers to digest and get the full gist.

It was a great article but would have been better as a series of shorter vignettes.

Like President Bush said, the war against Al Queda is being fought in Iraq. This victory will destroy AQ in the eyes of the ME.

Why couldn’t Bin Laden go to Syria, or somewhere in Africa?

I can’t see him actually going into Iraq. Guy’s a rock star, and he’s got a huge bounty on his head. He’s a walking lottery ticket. Go to Iraq?

As for our leaders being misinformed: I don’t think information has anything to do with our leaders stand on any position.

Great read. I hope it’s true, but there is not a lot in the way of specific evidence.

He is probably the most responsible for turning the Taliban -- which he had a significant hand in creating -- against al Qaeda. Which means, believe it or not, on some level he may be working with the Pakistani government and possibly the US government, since he is purely an opportunist.

The author is not clear exactly what would lure Maulana Fazlur Rahman to work with the Pakistani or US government. Is he not a committed islametard? Seems like a crappy line of work, if you’re not really committed to the cause. Money seems possible, but again, I thought most of these top-level knuckleheads were in it for the afterlife virgins and whatnot.

secret plans are being drawn up to lure Usama bin Laden to Iraq where it will be much harder for him to hide.

Honestly, with that $25 million price on his head, he’d last about 13 seconds in Iraq. He won’t go there in a million years. He’d have a much easier time hiding in India, or Portugal, or Sudan, or Cleveland. Iraq is instant death for him.

Baitullah Mehsud - (Big guy in Pak-Taliban) shows he is still on the side of AQ (and "good Uzbeks").

Baitullah Mehsud, a Pakistani Taliban leader linked to Al-Qaida, declared that suicide bombers would launch attacks on the former premier as soon as she returned, 'The Sunday Telegraph' reported.
