"Mission Accomplished" For Bin Laden!

So who is really winning the "war on Terror"? Looking at the score card, I would say Osama bin Laden pretty much has the most numbers in the win column. The folks at Think Progress came up with a great statistic that really should give anyone who supports the Bush cabal pause.

Back in 1998, Bin Laden ranted that oil, then priced at %11 a barrel should go for $144 a barrel. One of his big beefs against the west was that he claimed we had"stolen $36 trillion from Muslims" in the Middle-East buying oil at cheap prices. At the time of the 9-11 attacks oil was six times cheaper than now.

Now considering that Bin Laden, the planner of the attacks is still at large and our country is out BILLIONS of dollars and THOUSANDS of lives, who is winning this alleged war?
