I wonder if they are going to Massachusetts to create their new state, Kerry and Kennedy would be sure to lend a hand.

No matter where they decide to do this, I'm reasonably certain that ATOs can be cut for our bombers to go pay them a visit. :-)

[nuffsenuff]

We should let them start up their own state.

Once established, we can just turn this "state" into a sheet of glass.

One small country for one large bomb.

Sounds like a winner of an idea to me.

[DoctorMichael]

What kind of camel feces has this clown been smoking?

[Peach]

Good. This means we'll have another place to bomb. A little shock and awe will take care of them.

[Alouette]

It will be in France.

Somebody needs to talk to somebody. I detect a disconnect, here.

Recommend J. Dam as our first ambassador.

"...terror masterminds Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi would soon set up a Muslim caliphate state."


How soon can these clowns put themselves on the map for us? Can you say thermobaric?

caliph noun: the civil and religious leader of a Muslim state considered to be a representative of Allah on earth; "many radical Muslims believe a Khalifah will unite all Islamic lands and people and subjugate the rest of the world"

[Zack Nguyen]

That this is the desire of Osama Bin Ladin and his followers sounds very plausible. The caliphate would be a set of leaders who can speak with one voice for Muslims all over the world.

As I understand Muslim theology, once a caliphate is set up, these leaders can declare a jihad to gain new geographical territory for Islam. Perhaps someone else more well-schooled could comment.

I guess we know who bought Neverland Ranch from Wacko Jacko.

"Although they accuse them of being terrorists, the heroes Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab Zarqawi will come back to the scene soon to set up an Islamic caliphate state," he said.

Some things never change.

In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political spirit.

Hmmm. Interesting. Up til now, we have been constrained in some of our actions because UBL and his Mini-Me Zarcawi were not a "state" that we could declare war on. Does this change things? Could Congress now declare war on this caliphate?

[sportutegrl]

Sounds like a target rich environment.

Good. Now all we need are the coordinates.

They can have Assachusettes as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I'll donate it.
