As Friedman wonders when Osama will attack again..... Osama has a different problem:
HOW TO TOP THE WTC ATTACK!
Clearly, "just" a car bombing or suicide bomber would not equal the 911 event; and it might detract from Osama's "opus magnus" of terror.
It's very possible that Osama does not want to upstage 911 by having "lesser attacks" that would only bring global sympathy back to Dubya and the Neocons.....
Although some in the global community would say that the "next attack" was bought and paid for.....by the "illegal" war in Iraq.
Still, I have to think that EVEN Osama was surprised by the massive destruction done at the WTC.....
Most people, including me, thought that these buildings had "redundancies built in" .....or some kind of fail-safe protections against a catastrophic collapse.
Apparently not.
In truth, 911 was probably a one-off event that will never be equalled again....at least not by a bunch of guys with box-cutters.
Indeed, since the election, Code Orange has become nearly obsolete.......
My hunch is that a further attack inside the US would be counter-productive for Osama & Co...... And they know it.
