The war is about something else entirely now, assuming for the moment that there was a brief time when Osama was the real goal (not something I grasp as iron clad).
The house of Saud is next, because of "insufficiently fighting terror and sponsoring Al Qaeda". Let me make one thing clear about this. I believe Al Qaeda is operating, in serveral de-centralised cells, with a visceral hatred of the US. My point is that all of the attempts to attack "bin Laden" are provoking them, and they are being given the best stuff ever. It is a self-feeding game, and despite the real retail terror threat posed by these types, we should keep our eyes on the wholesale outlets, and how they use the retail outlets to jack up their own price. One must, I believe, always challenge whether or not this war is about fighting terror, it's about colonising, with armed force, the whole region and tearing up all existing oil-deals and relations world wide.
