#1 I think we should concentrate on killing Zarwahiri that guy is smart and dangerous. Zark would be pushed even further up the line and he maybe a great foot soldgeir with his emotional dicisions and blood lust but in leadership letting that emotion enter the decision making process cost you and cost you big time. Bin Laden if he isnt dead he must be pretty weak no videos or even a audio tape to speak of for a long time now.

#2 "For the last year, we have been developing an impression that bin Laden is not what he used to be," Ambassador Prince Turki al-Faisal told reporters at the Saudi Embassy this week.

Decomposition does that...

#3 I agree with C-low here. Zark is the eminent threat. Zark does not seem to have any larger plan or vision other than to destroy the western world.

#4 Prince Turki explained that one of his top priorities as ambassador is to improve the image of Saudi Arabia in the United States, where some members of Congress and some foreign policy analysts have accused the kingdom of supporting terrorism and abusing human rights.

Translation: "They're on to us!!"

#5 "The United States has an image problem in the Arab world. We Saudis have an image problem in the United States," he said.

It's a positive development that they are beginning to realize that it cuts both ways. Heed the American Street, byotch!

#6 Saudi Arabia suspects Osama bin Laden might be losing some control of his al Qaeda terrorist network, said the new Saudi ambassador in Washington.

Apparently the princelings are assuming more hands-on control?
