Foreign Correspondence

[otraque]

Of note: Americans majority in their eternal quest to remain misinformed or void of informed have not paid any attention that the las t 2 videotapes from Osama Bin Laden and Zawahiri have made a 180 degree turn in presentation.
They are no longer fanatic ultra fundamentalist rants against the Great Satan.
This is a remarkable chameleonesque change revealing Laden and Zawahiri are most cunning and adaptive.
Their messages are now political as they simply now are stating that unless U.S. policy towards the Islam world changes the U.S. is our enemy.
But in Zawahiri tape he says he assumes the policy will never change.
Also key again and again the simple theme "we will destroy america economically"
Al Queda knows oil is our achilles heal.
I would think their #1 desire/obsession is to make a major hit on the Saudi Arabian most essential pipeline.
But contrary to what some think that this can be easily done is not the case.
I would think they are putting their energy into "working an inside" job and keeping a LOW profile in S.A. to point of wanting them to think "Al Queda ain't here".
To break security by getting themselves into security positions.
