On EVEN days, we catapult the propaganda that Al Qaeda is stronger and we must be afraid, very afraid. On ODD days, we claim we're winning to prop up whatever pathetic support we still have remaining for our "war on terror". This pattern will repeat indefinitely until the American people refuse to be fooled anymore and demand that we focus on getting Osama bin Laden and quit pouring our resources into battles having nothing to do with 9/11.
