LOL...I've been trying to imagine what the person who said this would look like and be like - trying to cast the role. A Marine would work!

"I see it as baiting and begging him (Bin Laden)to come out and play. calling his bluff if you will."

Good thought -- it has crossed my mind as well.
Maybe that is the point -- the longer things go without an attack, despite of all the AQ threats, the more his own supporters will lose faith in him.
Bin Laden himself talked about the weak horse and the strong horse -- and if he becomes the weak horse, he is done.

I had the same impression!! That's why I was trying to "cast" it!

Back in October Cheney gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation. Here is a chilling quote from that speech that I still haven't forgotten about since I read it. It was quite apocolyptic (coming from the VP).
"Instead of losing thousands of lives, we might lose tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lives in a single day of war"

My F-I-L was a WWII Marine (Guadalcanal) and I use to have my hubby translate his conversations. God rest his soul.

Two members of Virginia-based terrorism network plead guilty The Associated Press
1/16/04 4:03 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two members of a Virginia-based Islamic terrorism network pleaded guilty to weapons and explosives charges Friday and promised to help the government, Attorney General John Ashcroft said.
Randall Royer and Ibrahim al-Hamdi, who entered their pleas in Alexandria, Va., had ties to the Lashkar-e-Taiba group seeking to drive India out of Kashmir. A federal indictment said the Northern Virginia group also had broader goals of helping the al-Qaida network; Afghanistan's former ruling militia, the Taliban; and rebels in Chechnya.
Both Royer, 30, and al-Hamdi, 26, pleaded guilty to using and discharging a firearm during, and in relation to, a crime of violence; and with carrying an explosive during commission of a felony. Royer faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison, al-Hamdi 15 years.
The plea agreement, accepted by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, requires Royer and al-Hamdi to cooperate fully with the government in the prosecution of other individuals associated with the Virginia network.
In the agreement, Royer admitted helping four people gain entry to a terrorist training camp in Pakistan operated by Lashkar-e-Taiba. He also admitted helping al-Hamdi get into the camp.
Additionally, Royer said he was committed to helping terrorists gain entry to the camp after a meeting on Sept. 16, 2001. Documents said an unindicted co-conspirator said at the meeting that the terror attacks five days earlier, on Sept. 11, would be used as an excuse to trigger a global war against Islam. The time had come, the man said, for fighters to go abroad and, if possible, join in a holy war.
Al-Hamdi admitted to possessing a rifle with a telescopic site and various ammunition, including tracer rounds, to enhance his ability to train for a holy war in Chechnya, Kashmir or other locations outside the United States. He also admitted to carrying a rocket-propelled grenade as part of a conspiracy to undertake a military operation against India.
Four other members of the Virginia network pleaded guilty in August and September. Five members of the network are awaiting trials.
