But we should have sat down with him first , unconditionally, and talked. We should have been sensitive to his needs.

And all the work done under Pres. Bush’s watch so that we can leave Iraq successfully, will be ignored so that Obama can get the kudos.

Well, there are some despots who are gone or neutered since President BUSH took office in 2001:

Saddam Hussein
Qadaffi (turned over his secret nuke lab to US/Brit intelligence)
Kim Chong “I-feel Ill”
Much of the Al Qaeda international, second tier masterminds and probably thousands of underlings

Still on the horizon:
Tolly-Ban
Osama Bin Laden and his Egyptian Dr Friend
Iran/Ahmanutjob (suffering from “exhaustion” but unfortunately seems to be recovering)
Syria
Russia
China

He’ll be too busy trying to resucitate his followers here when they realize he’s not the second coming of Christ but some hack politician from Chicago.

“How many Senior AQ are there? It seems every week we hear this.”

I guess every week AQ has to assign a new ‘senior’ leader. I suspect their age and experience has seriously dropped, making them not so ‘senior’ anymore.
lol
