"This is a terrible idea"

Can you imagine how many COUNTRIES would like to earn a billion-dollar bounty? Osama hasn't got a prayer now. We don't have to wait until the time is just right for us to act and take him out on the first strike ... the job will be done FOR us, and alot cheaper than it would cost us to do it ourselves.

For a billion dollars we may have the major airlines scheduling regular flights into Kanduhar. People will be taking their regular 2 week vacations "in the mountains".

What if that bounty gets funneled back into terrorist organizations somehow? After all, alot of these characters have pointed out how useful it would be to them if Osama was to become a martyr, and they've already broadened the definition of martyrdom to include outright suicide attacks on innocent people. Just a thought.

Why not just let the bounty hunters get the first crack at it? These guys are ruthless. They'll do it for the money and the thrill of it all. Our military can wait a while longer.

I wonder what it would take to set up a revolving fund that people can contribute to that would place bounties on the heads of terrorists and their benefactors. I think one could set up a 501 c(3) that would raise money, with 100% going to a wanted dead or alive bounty on terrorists, and not just bin Laden. I for one am definitely interested. Talk about sending a strong message. All freedom-loving people contributing to a cause to show these terrorists that you strike and we'll put a bounty on your head a$$hole.

Who's up for it. Let's Roll...sign up today.

The fine print probably says, "No terrorists, extremists or their families are eligible".

" maybe H or H will ..."

If there were no strings attached to the reward, I'd be as concerned as you. But seeing that it comes from an American consortium, I figure they've got that angle covered.

Anybody got details?

Everyone must be patient...Remember Marine Corps Sniper gun control. One shot one kill. We don't need to use a 2 million dollar missle to knock out a $10 tent. Leave war to the professionals. And keep the media out! We did it in '91 we can do it again in '01 and maybe even get Saddam in the bargain. Semper Fi, Mike

What a joke?!! Bin Laden is just another head in the hydra-headed monster of hate and destruction which is the Beast of the Middle East. It is utter foolishness to believe that eliminating Bin Laden is the cure-all. One lunatic after another has always appeared championing the misguided or rather cancerous Middle East cause - Arafat, Ayatollah, Saddam, Clinton, and now Bin Laden. The real American tragedy after the WTC destruction will be a pantywaisted response which it is begining to seem more apparent as each day goes by as the Middle East cocks its snout at the PC response of the U.S.

Put together an army of 1,000, and that is still $1,000,000 each!

Those in the know would prefer 7 vigins for enternity, I understand.

Someone hasn't thought this through. What use would seven eternal virgins be???? Kind of frustrating, right? Sounds more like hell than heaven... he he he.

And what happens when another terrorist kills Osama and wants the billion dollars to finance more terror attacks?

I want the bounty to read "Dead". We don't want him "brought to justice" in America. Can you picture bin Laden in front of a jury composed of Detroit area Muslims and defended by OJ's defense team + Alan Dershowbiz!! Talk about a circus side show!!

Better yet - the winner of the "bil" be required to deliver the upper half of him only!!

" Remember ... Marine Sniper ... one shot, one kill ... "

Frankly, I'd rather see a Scout Sniper execute the "Death of a Thousand Cuts" at 1000 meters: first shot takes off Osama's left ear, second shot takes off his nose, third shot takes off his right thumb, fourth shot .............
