One of Bin Laden's close associates repeatedly told him that America's response to an attack on the Twin Towers would be harsh and long.
His warning was laughed at.
I figure that most people would realize they miscalculated if they thought about it but most people haven't analyzed his planning on that level.
This story highlights one of the big problems we have to overcome when it comes to foreign relations and national security.
We desperately need continuity in our treatment of enemy and ally alike,
Politics should never trump security, but that is what is happening to us now.
The current administration is slapping friends in the face and patting enemies on the back just to show the are different from the last administration.
