OSAMA: DON'T LET U.S. GET ME ALIVE

"In a campaign designed to flush bin Laden into the open, U.S. F-15E fighter bombers have struck these cave complexes with EGBU-28 bunker-buster bombs and AGM-65 Maverick missiles over the last week. Several secondary explosions were observed by pilots in these attacks and Pentagon officials believe scores of al Qaeda fighters have been killed. Exotic spy planes are tracking the movements of troops with radar and using thermal imagery to pick up heat inside mountains."

Damn, we're good! We will accomplish in months what the Soviets tried for years. I'm starting to believe our own press that we really are a SUPER POWER.

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!"

"Oops, did I say 'or alive'? I'm sorry, I misspoke..."

[ghoti]

Maybe he'd prefer the 28 young boys.

Hm, let's see now. This is a tough one. Door number one: Americans kill me. Door number two: My son or my lieutenants kill me. Door number three: I kill myself. Which should I choose?

If I choose door number three, there is a slight chance that the lives of my wives, children, and loyal followers might be spared. Nah, I don't think I have the guts to pull the trigger, and besides, who gives a sh!t about their lives anyway? Certainly not me. After all, they live to serve ME.

If I choose door number one, the Americans can claim to have avenged the deaths of all those guilty people at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nah, we can't have that.

So, I think I'll choose door number two and force those most loyal to me make me a martyr. But they have to promise to quaff the kool-aid, too, just to prove their love for me. I hope Allah remembered to wash the bedsheets and has those virgin boys and girls prepped, 'cause here we come.

Officials said about 300 U.S. Special Forces are on the ground working with Pashtun tribesmen in the manhunt.

The Spanish conquered about 2 million Mexicans with about 300 men and similar tactics. Glad to see the west can still do it.

Now we're getting something done. We should be dropping leaflets over there to encourage this.

I don't see in any way how his guards shooting him makes him a martyr. I mean it seems by this he is really saying, "please shoot me before the U.S. can get me because I'm scared of what they might do to me."
