Collective Yawn
There's a new tape out purported to come from bin Laden....which was pretty much met with a collective yawn. Death to the infidels, yada yada, big deal. Al-Jazeera only aired 17 minutes of the 31 minute tape, saying that was all that was "important material, what is newsworthy".
An important indication, I think, of how the war on terror is going.
An interesting part of the tape, though, was this:
He held back a sob when addressing the Iraqi people, telling them he shares their concerns and saluting them on their jihad.
"God knows if I could find a way to your field, I wouldn't stall," the speaker said.
What's stopping him? Can't come out of the cave for fear of being caught? Or can't escape his particular ring of hell?
Or does it matter?
