Phi Beta Iota: The above search does produce the desired hit but not in the headline, so this search has earned its own headline with our thanks.

Notes [Updated]: If bin Laden could have asked his maker for the most helpful possible American reaction to 9-11, he could not have done better than the Bush Administration’s ill-considered conventional military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, with all Bush policies now “institutionalized” by the Obama Administration.  The US is now an occupying force in Iraq, and in Afghanistan it has lost control of the entire country, where under US “non-control” the opium crop has gone for 4% to 90% of world opium and most of the #4 heroin (via Pakistan's processing facilities), enriching the Taliban and selected warlords, who will be almost impossible to dislodge without resuming combat operations.   We have started and are stuck with a six-front 100-year war that we can win ONLY by waging Whole of Government / Multinational Engagement peace.
