Capture all of the Al-Qaeda leadership. Load them up in a bomber and drop them from about 1450 feet on top of the pile of rubble at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan.

We CANNOT afford to kill these psychopaths.

ANY "captured Al-Queda" MUST BE "Questioned" 'down to the Molecular level!'"

Millions of lives may now be "at risk!"

Survivors of our "Questions" should be transferred to the Security Services of those Nations at Risk!

We are in a war for the very survival of our culture, Laws, & Beliefs!

OUR "Enemies" are psychopaths & barbarians!

For the Sake of our offspring & our Self-worth, the "Barbarians @ the Gates" MUST BE UTTERLY DESTROYED!

Doc

Bush is a good man, he'll do what's right. We have to have faith.

"We cannot afford to take this approach. The terrorist networks must be exterminated and their financial backers must be dealt with as well. When all is said and done, there should be some serious redrawing of the Middle East maps. I hope my faith in the current administration is not misplaced."

Mulah Omar ostensibly used a cell phone or sattelite phone for his interview with the BBC,why couldn't they track him down?

probably line of site considerations. If he made the call from a valley or gully somewhere, he could have line of site to the sattellite, but any direction finding stations would be shielded from line of sight by the moutains or sides of the gully. See Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" for an example of such a technique. Of course in Clancy's story, it's the good guys (USAF & USMC) using the sattelite phone, while the bad guys, (Soviets) might be trying to RDF on them. It would be even easier to do in Afghanistan, since it's not all that far north, compared to iceland anyway, and any geostationary sattellite would be fairly high up in the southern sky, meaning the valley could have pretty steep walls.

All this talk yesterday about military tribunals was smokescreen. You could see it in Bush's eyes: we will kill every one of them that we can find.

I had exactly the same thought when I saw and heard him out joking with Putin today.

That was Mary Landrieu, we call her "brown roots." She stole her last election and we hope to defeat her this time.

Wow. That leopard sure hid the spots. Sounded very conservative for the brief time she was on. That why I said it seemed sureal.

I believe Dubya on this. They can run, but they can't hide. Personally I'm confident that we'll chase them to the ends of the earth.

Southern Democrats are frequently more conservative than eastern Republicans. She is a big government, corrupt liberal.

I'm a native Texan who's watched Bush for years, and whose brother is in the media and is friends with some of his aides. Remember, as governor of Texas, Bush was the boss of the Texas Rangers, and I don't mean the baseball team. My brother has interviewed a lot of Rangers, and he says that grim, narrow-eyed look Bush gets when he talks about "the evil ones" is the same look he's seen on the face of every Texas Ranger he ever saw who was tracking down a murderer.

His suggestion, if you're worried Bush will wimp out and forgive Osama, is to get a copy of "Lonesome Dove" and read the part where the badass cowboy Dixon whips the old Ranger Call's son, Newt. Call knocks him off his horse and kicks him in the face. When he gets up, Call knocks him down and kicks him in the face again. This goes on for awhile until he drags Dixon to the blacksmith's shop and starts slamming his head against an anvil. He finally has to be lassoed and pulled off Dixon before he kills him. Later, he explains the beating by saying, "I hate a man that talks rude. I won't tolerate it." Sound like a quote from Bush?

Better buy yourself a crash helmet, Osama.

Didn't the BBC say a satellite phone was used by another guy, who then used a two-way radio to talk to Omar? That way, if it was tracked, signal would lead to the flunky and let Mr. Big escape.

Since 11 September she's been all over TV, she's been on Fox 2 or 3 times and she tries so hard to sound conservative. Of course, that's an act, she is a mini-Hillary in the making and apparently getting worried about re-election. Today, I received a typical bossy little email from her office it so annoyed me that I called them and asked to have my name removed from her email list.

Good. I hear the Kuwati's are suing Newsweek Magazine for publishing the comments made by Cooksey. LOL.

We may just allow a few of them to "escape" so they can lead us to the others.

ROTFL, isn't that where 'Digital Angel' comes in?

Keelhauling out in the Indian Ocean is a good old fashioned option, if there are enough barnacles on the hull to make it interesting.

Alright, this is starting to seriously piss me off...2 weeks ago, we were told that bin laden's location was nailed down to perhaps 6 caves, all of which were being monitored 24/7. I wonder who started that lie, because in the meantime, OBL's given an interview that has been well documented, and has been reported by virtually everybody, to have moved before Kabul fell.

???

Why in the heck do the TV news media keep having Sandy Berger and that idiot Richardson on as "experts?" These Klintinoids were ineffectual, traitorous and inept. I can hardly stand to see them on air all the time.
