You kind of wonder why the media expects us to believe these stories.
The situation as I understand it from listening to Bush II is as
follows:
These alleged car bombings would be acts of terrorism. But terrorists
cannot act unless a leader tells them to act. There used to be three
terrorist leaders in the world: Arafat, Saddam and Osama. Arafat is
dead. Hussein is in prison, so that effectively leaves just one
leader: Osama, and he is incommunicado.
In order to believe that terrorist acts are in fact being successfully
perpetrated, one would have to believe either that the terrorists are
capable of acting on their own without a leader telling them to do, or
that they are taking orders from someone who is not their leader.
Finally, if Osama actuallly did try to issue an order, our intelligence
system would instantly pick up the "chatter" and our military would
immediately send in a smart weapon to disrupt the terrorists'' command
and control infrastructure. Finally, any strategem Osama might think
up would be met by a counter-strategem devised by the greatest military
minds of all time (i.e., Rumsfeld, Rice & Bush III.) Even if Osama
could mount an offensive, there is no way he could outwit Cheney et al.
