Neutron bombs.

This is the 3rd kidnapping by muzzies today. Al Qaeda has a brand new bag.

Osama Obama puts out a video—sh** starts to happen. We can expect beheadings. These people are so stupid. They think this stuff helps Obama by discrediting the Republican led war on terror when, in fact, it helps McCain.

Many years ago, I decided not to visit any Islamic country as long as Islam still exists. This is why.
