I have always believed that Bin Laden is actually following Lenin's lead...he wants to take over Saudi Arabia, and he's using an ideologic argument to do it...
Bin Laden wanted the "infidel" i.e., U.S. troops out of Saudi Arabia...and guess what, it's already happened..the troops have been relocated to Iraq and Qatar, and Kuwait. Having U.S. troops out of Saudi Arabia is clearly a pre-condition to overthrowning the current goverment.
As it is, many analysts suggest that the current Saudi regime has 2 years left before they are "toppled" and replaced by something else (Al Qaeda perhaps..)
A Kerry presidency in my opinion would clearly include a rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, and would also "embolden" Al Qaeda in their belief that political pressure can force the U.S. military posture to change.
U.S. troops leave Iraq, and Al Qaeda, with the support and encouragement of Iran, reloactes enmass to Iraq, and seizes control. This is turn triggers a overthrow of the Saudi goverment, and now Bin Laden controls Saudi oil, Iraqi Oil, and works in concert with Iran. Tremendous pressure comes to bear on Kuwait Qatar, and other smaller Arab oil nations to fall into line behind Bin Laden, or face insurgency and overthrow, knowing that U.S. troops will not be redeployed to the middle east by Kerry.
Now, the oil production of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, etc..is used to hobble the "western" economies.
Oil prices skyrocket, the Dow plummets, industrial output world wide falls, capital markets contract, the world wide recession heats up..and ultimately a world wide depression starts. Iran inspite of U.N "consternation" proceeds with development of nuclear weapons. Al Qaeda gains access to nuclear weapons. Israel is attacked. Israel responds with nuclear retaliation.
midddle eastern oil output essentially stops.
hmmmm
