Just because you put a Ford logo on any truck means it is a Ford? Al Qaeda was this tiny little movement - just an other dandelion on the lawn. Suddenly all the dandelions now want to call themselves Al Qaeda. And it work in America where the message is more important than reality.

bin Laden has as many troops in Iraq as you have wings.

Real question is whether bin Laden will sue for trademark infringement.

That's what he's been saying, but in truth every Islamic anti-American group in the world sent organizers in to Iraq, to recruit, train and organize Iraqi insurgents. The reasons are 1- To smite the western devil. 2- to try and get a little, or lot, of influence in the composition of Iraq.

The C-17 line closing is so, like, ya know, yesterday's news. They've gotten more orders since then.
