Is there no good news in the world? There's precious little in this thread.

Actually, bin Laden controlling our our foreign policy would mean more that we are ignoring all else in the effort to find the person who is probably no more than a figure head now. The bi-annual video tape fed to Al Jazeera doesn't make it seem like he's doing too much. Last I checked, our current foreign policy is holding terrorist attacks against the US at bay. Somehow I don't think that bin Laden really feels in control while hiding in some cave in Pakistan. I might be inclined to believe he is in control of our border policy, but that's a different issue.

As I recall, bin Laden very recently offered a pseudo-truce in suggesting we pull out of Iraq. This was so the people of Iraq would not suffer. I found that be amusing, as it is primarily terrorists who are blowing up the people of Iraq.

Wanted us to attack Iraq? I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
