Bin Laden shifts his focus

The Charles Manson of mass murderers, Osama Bin Laden, has put Arab leaders in his cross hairs. The tactical vitriol stems from his strategic focus away from condemnation of the United States in favor of Israel. This represents Bin Laden's most recent exhortation to the Arab populace that identifies the Palestinian-Israeli struggle as the most important theater in the larger extremist agenda.

Why the shift in focus? One frightening possibility is that Bin Laden has become so safe in his current environs that he can target Israel rather than concentrating his efforts on self-preservation and beating the war drums against the US.
