“The timing is no accident. AQ was politically astute enough to swing the Spanish election, and also to avoid forcing Bush over Kerry in 04.
This is happening on AQ’s schedule, make no mistake.”
no doubt at all about that . . . if these guys are worth their weight in salt they got to know the Indians (and maybe the US, UK and Israel also due to who was targeted) are very likely going to counter, and perhaps heavy handidly; what’s the end game here? I’m with you, I don’t think this is over . . .
heightened viligance and situational awareness is going to be the name of the game for the time being
AQ might be betting Bush won’t hit back with Obama strutting and holding press conferences, ala Clinton/Cole bombing.
If that’s not it, I’m still reaching for the right answer.
