I seem to remember that al Queda was an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is big in Egypt, and actually may have started there, many years ago.

That doesn't matter. Al-Queda attacked us on 9-11 and they are the only Islamic terrorist organization that we should be fighting. Since Al-Queda has no ties to other Islamicist groups that have been in Iraq before we invaded, we have no business being in Iraq. Once Bin Ladin is killed or captured, Islamic terrorism will end forever. /sarc

Did the military ever make a second deck of “most wanted” cards to keep in perspective the “success” of capture, confrontation, etc. of those we’ve wanted to take out?

This may be out of date (showing the success rate):

It’ll be at least 50 years before I ever go sightseeing in Egypt. I want to make sure every one of those scumbags who cheered the WTC attacks is dead before I spend a dime there.

Our being in Iraq really had nothing to do with 9/11, or al Queda, and the President made that clear in his speeches about going into that country. It had to do with Sadaam's flouting of the UN resolutions, and his disregard for the no-fly zones, and his desire to disseminate WMD. You may not like that we actually DID something about that, but that's what the war is about.

By the by, Sadaam WAS trying to obtain yellowcake to create nuclear weapons, regardless of Joe Wilson's screeching on the matter, and he DID have WMD, because he'd already used them on his own people.

Our involvement in Afghanistan was directly related to the attacks on 9/11 because we knew they were carried out by members of al Queda, and that's where they were mostly based. There were al Queda leaders in Iraq before 2003, even though they may not have established a stronghold there. A couple used Iraq as a hideout after we started the war in Afghanistan. Sadaam was willing to work with them to create havoc wherever they could. He was already paying the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, for their 'sacrifice' in the ongoing Arab war against Israel.

Natural causes?

Well, I suppose failure to keep living after catching a Hellfire exploding would be perfectly natural, if you look at it in the right way.

I like it!

Still, though...they can have my mascara when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Oh I very much like that we did something about it. BTW, did you notice the "/sarc" tag on my post?

“Wow. I had no idea that most of AQ’s leadership was Egyptian (or Lybian). Thought they’d be all Saudis.

The original strain of Al Qaeda is actually a direct descendant of that virulent strain founded in the 20s in Egypt: Islamic Brotherhood. Al Zawahiri was leading that group in Egypt and the assassination of Anwar Sadat before he later merged the current Egyptian virus with Bin Laden.

And as a matter of record, they destest the majority virus in Saudi Arabia of Wahhabism.

Ahhh, Mohamed Atta...I remember him meeting our Predator while out for a drive thru the desert...

One-legged, wasn’t he? I mean prior to his being visited upon by our Predator...

The unidentified official said it is believed that al-Masri died of natural causes, possibly hepatitis, in Pakistan, and are staying away from a report that he was killed in a January CIA predator strike.

No matter what caused his death, the world is a better place… and hell is a bit more crowded.
