Juniors: Your parents have been paying for your schooling long enough without knowing where their money goes, and by junior year, it's time to show them how their money is spent.

It asks followers to lure American troops into bloody urban battles to inflict "big casualties." The resurgence of bin Laden at this time further weakens the president's standing with those who presently oppose Bush throughout the nation and world.
