And how do you propose to prove that?
I decide that Bush is sabre-rattling for domestic political effect, and playing a stalling game of his own to avoid having to actually go get me, knowing it’s even harder than getting this guy bin Laden and even that has been unsuccessful. I don’t believe there will actually be a mass invasion of my cities, based on the West’s consideration of the strategic consequences, but I propagandize against the infidel invaders anyway. I also keep the oil flowing to buy off Bush’s “allies”, just to be sure.
I keep looking for ways to keep stalling myself, along the lines of finding more ways for the UN teams to keep spending time in my hospitality until everyone gets bored.
I eventually die of old age and pass power to one of my sons, who gets shot in a coup by somebody I passed over and establishes the same type of regime I had.
