To think like a terrorist

The upper Muslim terrorist have one aim: To become Kalifa.

In the present state OBL has good cards. The US kicked Saddam out of the race who had ambitions to become Kalif himself. Iraq has to divided in 3 states, one shia state under the control of Iran, one Sunni state as a safe haven and new base for Al Kaida and a dreaded 3 state, a Kurdish one.

The Saudis who try to become Kalif by means of supporting Wahabi belief and spreading their base system all over the world have trouble with their Alliance with the US who tries to soften them and makes them trouble by having them implementing democrazy.

The only big competitor for the Kalifat is ironically the USA, who wants to influence and exercise power in the muslim world like a Kalif.

Let's say Osama gets what he wants: a breakup of Irak, retreat of US troops (after gratefully kicking Saddam out, their role is done, with the help of leftist opposition in the US one can get them to retreat), inauguration of a Osama state in the middle of Iraq.

What can one do from this base? Yes, go for the next state to turn into a Osama state. That might well be Jordan. Funny enough the King of Jordan tries to strengthen moderate Islam, tries to connect to the west or at least keep the channel open. fights terrorism and is on a peace treaty interested between Israel and Palstinians (or however you want to call them).

It might well be that Jordan is the next target (or Egypt as the bombings start already there).

With a Jordan as a fiefdom of Osama the position of Israel gets really troublesome. With direct support from Al Kaida in terrorist activity the HAMAS and other groups can step up terrorist activity. The question would be: Can Israel fight a terrorism on the activity level of nowadays Iraq? What if they can't? That would boost Osama's cause quite a bit and he is getting closer to his aim.

A terrorist state of Palestine would help enormously in that fight. Especially if the west pumps more money into it. At the summit of the western states in Scotland it was decided to give 3 billion DollarS to Palestine. That comes in handy. Let the infidels pay for their own destruction.

More money and support demands are to be expected.

greetings
