My Comment: Causing mass casualties on a 9/11 scale would not be enough for the U.S. to disengage from the Middle East. If Bin laden wanted to force the U.S. out of the Middle East, he would have had to brandish and use nuclear weapons on American cities to get such a change in policy. Fortunately .... no nuclear nation on the planet wants to be implicated in such a mass murder for the simple reason being that once the nuclear materials used are found and traced ....
