After Osama bin Laden attacked America on 9/11 he laughed at what he thought was a great accomplishment. Then we blasted Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and Osama was not laughing; he was in despair. So what did we do? We let him slip away at Tora Bora which brought him laughter again. When we removed our troops from Afghanistan and brought them to Iraq, he must have split his sides laughing.
Every 9/11 since then has been a day of laughter and joy to Osama. But none so much as yesterday's and today's hearings featuring General Petraeus. Essentially, Petraeus said and is saying that we should stay the course and fight in Iraq. Just what Osama was "praying" for. He wants a war of civilizations and we are presenting it to him.
