Brutally Tongue Tied

Bin Laden can't openly talk
about any of this, because that would be admitting he had made a deal with the
devil back in 2004, when al Qaeda and the Iraqi Sunni Arab terrorists united.
The Baath party has always been secular. Not exactly anti-religion, but not
something al Qaeda could openly embrace. Many of the Iraqi Sunni Arab
terrorists are religious, but not religious enough for the al Qaeda hard core.
And it's the hard liners that usually set the agenda. That's a fatal flaw with
groups that depend on terrorism to keep the fight going. Cracking down on the
hard core requires more clout and muscle than al Qaeda possesses these days.
And that's another unspoken reason by bin Laden is singing the blues.
