Bloody attacks would enrage the U.S. and lure it into one quagmire after another. Presidents Bush and Obama fell right into bin Laden's trap. Bin Laden's words haunt us as we witness hysteria engulf America's air travel system and hear calls to invade Yemen.....
The American colossus continues to stumble ever deeper into the Muslim world's violent, tangled affairs at a time when Washington is bankrupt and only runs on Chinese loans. In 2009, the U.S. deficit was $1.4 trillion US.
American soldiers are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. special forces, air units and CIA mercenaries are involved in combat operations in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, West Africa, North Africa and the Philippines. A new U.S. base at Djibouti is launching raids into Yemen, Somalia and northern Kenya. U.S. forces aided the failed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia.

Washington is quietly engineering the breakup of troubled Sudan, Africa's largest nation, in order to dominate south Sudan's important oil resources and undermine the regime in Khartoum which Washington has marked for termination.
Even Egypt is growing shaky. The U.S.-backed Mubarak military dictatorship that has ruled the Arab world's most populous nation since 1981 faces a succession struggle once the 82-year old pharaoh is gone...... "
