Keep the US on a rabbit chase - & forcing them to deploy (& maintain ) huge resources in many locations whilst moving the beachfront elsewhere. From the time the Taliban held the US forces at bay in 2001 - long enough to let Alqeada slip out -before disappearing into the night themselves. Each time they leave a rump of supporters who themselves disappear & return to bog down the enemy forces. Who is next? I say Kenya.

So you wonder why... in the last 7 months of the Bush Presidency, when a US ship had not been seized, and everyone looked at them as int'l criminals... Bush didn't make aggressive moves? That was sarcasm, yes?

Gee, that was a real big secret. Why Bush didn't address it who knows. Pirates used to finance al Qaeda. Gee, that was a real big secret.
