Osama is one scary guy... Just when you thought he was sick and dying in some cave in Pakistan...
Now comes this new threat that he's "cooking up something" but it's going to take time...? Hmmm....?
The oriental mind is so unscrewable to many Americans and westerners.
Why the lack of action inside the US...?
I've always thought it was because Osama didn't want to disrupt the lives of the Muslims in America, who have businesses and professional practices and other investments...
Because surely the "next attack" could create a backlash against ALL Muslims and ALL Arabs...no matter how peaceful they are...or claim to be.
But, is Osama the type of guy who cares about American Muslims...? Perhaps not.
I have also assumed that Osama was ONLY interested in the Empire of Islam...and that the "West" was merely a "fly in the ointment," and Osama would concentrate on Muslim countries and their political situations...
And not "go after" the west per se...as long as "we" stayed out of "his backyard." This could still be the case.... But "we" are in his backyard now...and even up to our necks in Muslim politics...
Why else would middle class Americans be discussing "head scarfs" and the like? The west has it's nose up Muslims' asses in more ways than we did prior to 911! And that could be problematic....
I have also discounted the notion that Osama "wants to convert" the west to Islam...even though some Muslim fanatics seems to harbor this pipe dream...with their Jihadist thinking.
So these new threats by Osama are interesting... And scary...because the "next one" is something we'd all like to forget...
