That network was probably an invention of our own government more than anything else. Regardless of motive, any wartime president MUST acknowledge the political aspects of a successful war. It looks a lot better to have the electorate believe we have defeated a HUGE global enemy than a loosely connected mob of fanatics.
OBL's group may have been fairly large before, but it is much bigger now. Our colleague seems to be working on emotion rather than fact. Facts our own government acknowledges.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
