If we'd known where Tokyo Rose was, we'd have taken her out.
What's the difference with the al-Jazeera (all terrorist, all the time) news network?
Rather than a smart bomb, I like the idea of pulling a large fuel truck full of AMSOL up in front of the building and setting it off.
We could have a guy with a turban get out of the truck, praise Allah and run like hell.
We should just follow their reporters around. They seem to always be "just in the neighborhood" when the terrorists attack.
I'll second or third or where ever down the thread
I happen to arrive onto this thread.
Who would miss 'em......
Maybe the terrorists?
No, just Iran and Syria !
No doubt the same paragons of tolerance for whom art is a crucifix in a jar of piss. They didn't seem too worried about "unnecessarily raising the hackles of a significant proportion of one of the world's great religions" in that case, most likely because they knew Christians wouldn't saw their infidel heads off with a rusty knife.
Should've been done at the very start of the War on Terror. The "politically correct" bunch are the ones that have been preventing it.
I wonder why the question even has to be asked.
But alas...it seems that we are going to do what we do...give the enemy time so he won't feel bad or be offended. This will allow him to get some really dangerous weapons, possibally to try out on us here in America.
Damn, its disguisting waiting for the bomb to drop....I hope its not in my neighborhood.
On the plus side, maybe AJ is at the very least a little uncomfortable, knowing that this was either jokingly (according to some) or seriously (according to others) considered. Let them sweat.
Just send Katie Couric, Dan Rather, and Stewart Smalley there undercover as Anchors.
Bad Idea! he should take out the satellite. Al Jazeera can always rebuild a building, but it takes time to get another satellite up in orbit!
I remember during the initial phase of the Iraqi operation we killed one of their reporters. Their reaction was quite a contrast when they explained why they showed videos of dead American soldiers being taunted by Iraqi's. But when one of their own was killed they were a little more somber about it.
Heavens no they shouldn't consider bombing Al Jazeera. They should just do it!
IF GWB had actually wanted al-Jazeera to be bombed, its HQ would be a "crater" today.
On the other hand, if one is to be "blamed" for doing something which DID NOT HAPPEN, what is the downside for "doing the deed"?
Margaret Thatcher:
"Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend."
So yes, Al jazeera should be bombed!!
IMHO, blast away.
