Osama wanted America to invade Iraq.
Osama wanted Saddams secular government out of power, but couldn't do it alone.
9/11 was to bait us into it. Bush took the bait. Osama says thank you.
Osama wants to unite the muslim world against the west. Bush has done that - pushed millions of moderate muslims into hardline positions.. and recruited more jihadists than Osama ever could. (despite decades of trying)
Osama wanted to diminish the authority of America, distance us from our political allies and turn global opinion against us. Bush has given him all that.
It's not only a strategic blunder of disasterous historical proportions,
but it's just so fucking embarrasing. 
It might make some here feel better/safer to call them primitive animals or towelheaded cameljockeys or whatever, but the Al Queda leadership is not stupid. So far, they are outsmarting our so-called 'leadership'. And they know that America will rally around the president if they can pull off another attack before November.
Our current admin knows this too.   
As far as who gets elected affects all this now....
unfortunately, most of the damage is already done.
We will be paying for this in $$$ and lives for a generation.
The Bush admins kneejerk reactions (motivated either by shady business arrangements, or just plain stupidity, or both) has basically turned a small isolated politically-motivated criminal organization into a legitimatized worldwide political power complete with an effective military arm.
My hope is that, if the American people publically 'punish' Bush by not re-electing him, it will buy us some forgiveness from all the formerly sympathetic nations that arrogant sonofabitch pissed off.
I know Americas collective ego doesn't like the idea of admitting mistakes... but we need the world to trust us again... to honestly want to work with us... if we are going to fend off terrorism effectively with as few casualties as possible.

Indeed Bush's policy allowed Al-Qaeda to become stronger. The US troops in Iraq are a nice present to Osama. It hasn't been that easy for him ever bedore to blow american soldiers to pieces since they are in Iraq |
