My Comment: He is beginning to realize that the Americans are not like the Soviets, and that this war is being fought against them on an entirely different level. He is not going to make the same mistake that many in Iraq felt about the Americans .... that after a few years of conflict they will leave. What actually happened was that they stayed and the past two years decimated the Al Aaeda and Baath Party leadership in Iraq.
I am sure that Mullah Mohammad Omar sees the same thing being focused on Afghanistan now, and he does not want to suffer the same fate.
