WHAT COALITION?
Bin Laden Deputy Purportedly Seeks Strikes (TAREK AL-ISSAWI, 10/1/04, AP)
An audio tape purportedly released by Osama bin Laden's deputy calls for attacks on U.S. and British interests everywhere, according to a broadcast Friday by Al-Jazeera television.The Arab station said the speaker on the tape was Ayman al-Zawahri, an Egyptian-born surgeon and the closest aide to al-Qaida terrorist group leader.
[...] "The youth must not wait for anyone and must begin resisting from now and learn a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan and Chechnya."
In addition to the United States and Britain, al-Zawahri singled out Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan, saying they had all participated in occupying Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya and gave Israel the "means of survival."
Even our enemies recognize the coalition that Sen. Kerry doesn't and have already learned lessons he still hasn't.

I mean,maybe if we were nicer and did what they wanted. We could talk to France about it or just deal with them differently,you know, better. What was that Sepetember 11th thing about again?
