sparrow says:

'...In testimony to Congress a month ago, the co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security put it this way:

" I would like to impress upon this Committee that $144 a barrel oil will be perceived as a victory for the Jihadist movement and a reaffirmation that the economic warfare component of its campaign against the West is a resounding success."

Or, to put it in far blunter terms, Osama bin Laden can now say “Mission Accomplished”...'
