It is always a pleasure to link to Bill Roggio. Here he gives us a little more analysis of Bin Losin's latest cri de coeur. As I read through it, I found myself wondering...does Adam Gadahn sleep with both eyes shut each evening or does he have to prop one eyelid open with a stick?

#3  I agree Joe. With this Syria business it looks as if Mr. Bush is trying to get Ahmadinejad to act prematurely.

1) No longer profitable.
2) Short-lived occupation.
3) Many of the hard-liners have died off.
4) Behavioral support networks getting thinned out by casualties and people seeing who has emerged as the strong horse.

#1  DUBYA > reportedly getting ready to impose hard sanctions, including suppos as against Iran's armed forces [NOT the IRGC] and its military capabilities and assets. LEST WE FERGIT, SADDAM'S ARMY WENT FROM CIRCA 1.0MILYUHN DURING GULF WAR 1, TO CIRCA 300,000 OR LESS ALA OPER IRAQ FREEDOM. *IOW, Dubya may be targeting Moud's-mullahs power base amongst the Iranian regular armed forces, intent on sowing professional dissension and ultimately IMPLOSION = REGIME CHANGE. Sub-IOW, DUBYA WANTS MOUD TO BECOME DESPERATE AND THEN TO DO SOMETHING. Dubya wants a question mark on whether Moud-Mullahs can hold on to their power before the 2008 US elex.
