The only way they can defeat us, the only way they can defeat the United States and the International community, is if we loose our resolve, our patience, if you will, our will, to uh, persevere. That's the only way they can be successful."
Why does that sound so familiar?

Probably because that is what they said about Viet Nam...that we never lost a major battle, but still lost the war. Oh, wait, this is nothing like 'Nam.
And as far as waging an economic war against the United States goes, we're one big explosion in Saudi Arabia away from $100/barrel oil. Let's see what that does to the economy.
Luckily for Al Qaida, we invaded Iraq enabling them to move their training camps there from Afghanistan so now the terrorists won't have to travel quite so far to do the "wet" work in Saudi Arabia.
Invading Iraq has done nothing to combat terrorism. I believe it has done just the opposite and is fanning the flames.
