AlQuida / al-Qaeda, in Iraq.

That's just one of many things they do that are a problem from my POV, but the rest of your post was from theirs. They've gotten what they wanted, not just to some part, but beyond their wildest dreams.

Not until they establish a modern Caliphate.

"In seven phases the terror network hopes to establish an Islamic caliphate which the West will then be too weak to fight. "

Firefox, right xoB? If yes, then try Crtl+ to increase the font size easily.

No, IE-7. Page, text size, largest.

But I copied it to a msWord Doc and changed text size there because I wanted to print it for a woman that needs at least Comic Sans 14 to read it. Yeah that's big, very big, a lot bigger than most fonts, but easy for her to read. That also pushed it up a couple pages. Then changed it back to arial for emailing.

The next target the Dali Lama?

In Michael Yon's latest, he talks about how the US Military is shooting themselves in the foot in the propaganda war. I noticed this mention of al Qaeda.

The incident would likely have been reported as “Four U.S. Contractors Killed in Fallujah,” and that would have been the end of it, but for the video. Instead of ending the photo-op, Washington’s promise to unleash fire and brimstone stoked it to hell, and the media came to Fallujah for the Full Monty.

Cult leaders are ruthless about hijacking high profile moments, like when Moqtada al Sadr carpe diemed a call for a general uprising, and spread the violence around Iraq. Zarqawi also cashed in on the media windfall, using his own call to violence as the fulcrum to catapult himself to the head of al Qaeda in Iraq, a new position in a place where al Qaeda apparently had no franchise before. These two cult leaders, each the sworn enemy of the other, both managed to brazenly manipulate the same media coverage to achieve their strategic gains at the further expense of Coalition forces.

Great link.

Do yourself a favor, take a day or two off from the internet routine and read his archives...all of them. I personally guarantee you won't be sorry.
