Why no attacks since 9/11?

[Texan_Til_I_Die]

Why hasn't Osama bin Laden's terror network executed an attack on U.S. soil since 9-11?

Simple, the U.S. has threatened to nuke the Muslim holy city of Mecca should the terror leader strike America again.

Why would the mere threat of an attack work against Muslim extremists? Well, here’s an example of that very thing:

Israel has recognized that the Aswan Dam is Egypt's most valuable asset and also it’s potential killer. There is no possibility whatever of Egypt's winning a war with Israel, for if Aswan is blown, all of inhabited Egypt is under 20 feet of water. Once the Israelis made this clear to the Egyptians, the possibility of any future Egyptian attack on Israel like the ones that ooccured in 1948, 1967, and 1972 was gone.

There has been a rumor floating in Washington for some time now that George Bush has figured out what would be the equivalent of the Aswan Dam to Osama bin Laden. And that of course is the potential of dropping a nuke on Mecca.

Completely obliterating the terrorists' holiest of holies, rendering what is for them the world's most sacred spot a radioactive hole in the ground is retribution of biblical proportions – and those are the only proportions that will do the job.

Osama would have laughed off such a threat, given his view that Americans are wussies who cut and run after a few losses, such as Lebanon in 1983 and Somalia in 1993. Part of Bush's rationale for invading Afghanistan and Iraq – obviously never expressed publicly – was to convince Osama that his threat to nuke Mecca was real. Osama hates America just as much as ever, but he is laughing no more.

Osama bin Laden is "playing poker with a Texas cowboy holding the nuclear aces," so there's nothing al-Qaida could do that could come remotely close to risking obliterating Mecca.

So far, Osama has decided not to see if GW is

bluffing. Smart move.

If that what it takes, that is great poker playing on Bushes part!

I also think the whole world is looking and seeing that if George W. Bush says something, he means it! No poker playing there!!

I don't buy that, but think it has more to do with the fact everytime they get organized a bomb lands on their heads. Also the increased security and screening has seriously hindered their movements. Obviously he is not scared or he wouldn't be helping with attacks in Saudi Arabia etc. The guy has so twistided his so called faith i doubt he really cares about mecca. The only way to keep preventing more attacks at home is by continuing what is going on now.

My thoughts exactly. Also seems Bin Laden and his followers are having a bit more difficulty with carrying out their dispicable deeds since we have been pursuing them.

Just too bad there are so many mindless followers in this world who will blow themselves up to take innocent lives and the terror is continuing in other softer parts of the world.

Thanks for the reference. I had received it in an email from someone in the security business, but the source wasn't listed.
