Al-Qaida's little messages
Osama invited all of us to convert to Islam in his tape last week. Pundits are in a tizzy about this because an invitation to embrace Islam is a prerequisite to wage war against those who reject the call. Now there's another al-Qaida tape criticizing Hamas for bad jihad, just before Gen. Petraeus is set to deliver his Iraq analysis today. But al-Qaida has always loved symbolism, and this will be the first 9-11 anniversary to fall on a Tuesday, the day of the original attacks in 2001. I hope that doesn't mean anything -- but then again, the foiled plot against airports and U.S. installations in Germany may have been intended to be the big 9-11 anniversary attack. And the part that's not reassuring -- all of the suspects of that Islamic Jihad cell in Germany have not been arrested yet.
