They are all part of the same group of jerks, so when one dies a part of the whole dies. OBL is like all vicious killers, a coward that hides in the dark - take away his support and he becomes less meaningful. The main prize is the organisation as a whole not in part GET IT DonQuixoteDonQuixote said:He's the one that attacked my homeland.
I could care less about those wanna-be
insurgents in Iraq.
You keep taking your eye off the main prize.
Get OBL. GET IT, Langeweile.
May I assume your statement excludes the +/- 100,000 civilian collateral damage in Iraq..The Mugger said:They are all part of the same group of jerks, so when one dies a part of the whole dies.

Ditto...nice summary D.Q. Most intel suggests that OBL is haning out in the mountains between Pakistan and Afg. One would think that with a war chest of 200 billion dollars allocated to 'the war on terror', they would have nailed him by now... mind you...there was that Bush family vendetta and the Israeli need for a regime change in Iraq...it's really just a matter of priorities..DonQuixote said:I got it a long time ago. There is no organization.
Not like we're used to dealing with. There used to
be an organization and OBL was the kingpin holding
it together.
Its now a movement that anyone can join.
Its a methodology and an ideology. Are you
suggesting OBL is influencing the insurgents in
Iraq? Are you suggesting we are weakening Al Quida
by being in Iraq?
Al Quida is not a military force, nor is it a guerilla force
nor is it a unified body. Its a political movement that
is also a militant religious movement.
As long as OBL is alive he is a symbol of successfully
attacking the US. He is their ultimate success story and
he has escaped the mighty power of the US. As long as
he's alive we, the US, is perceived to be weak.
Well Truncy Team 'W's STATE didn't seem to have any problems doing exactly that in regards to SADDAM and SADDAM had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11!!!!!Truncador said:Assuming the State was, or could possibly be, irrational enough to expend all its resources on bringing one man to justice, could somebody indicate how exactly they'd go about getting him out from whatever cave or spider-hole it is that he's hanging out in.
Another blind apologist post from the Bush league ivory tower.. try special forces, seals etc…that’s their job. Let’s see…one man orchestrates the destruction of the most important financial symbols of the world’s superpower, kills 3,000 people, springboards the nation's airline industry into bankruptcy, precipitates the invasion of a sovereign nation which is unconnected, drives the price of oil to double the cost, and declares war on the nation…but he’s in the mountains…and they can’t get him…it’s too difficult… Ok…contract the job out to the Swiss army. Done.Truncador said:Assuming the State was, or could possibly be, irrational enough to expend all its resources on bringing one man to justice, could somebody indicate how exactly they'd go about getting him out from whatever cave or spider-hole it is that he's hanging out in.
Or the Israeli Mosad.... they also do pretty well in this regard.Mcluhan said:…contract the job out to the Swiss army. Done.
absolutely...better choice. plus..they would have done it for probably less than one billion...WoodPeckr said:Or the Israeli Mosad.... they also do pretty well in this regard.
Sorry lange,langeweile said:IMSO OBL is RIP
Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S.WoodPeckr said:Sorry lange,

Even in runnig the risk to sound stupid(which is easy for me), who runs the site that you linked? Who is behind this? Is it credible in your opinion?Mcluhan said:Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S.
While surfing I ran into this story.... i'd like to see a poll on this board as to the likelihood of this being true....
I have no idea...back later...going out to buy 12 cases of pasta, some salmon, and lots of bottles of water...langeweile said:Even in runnig the risk to sound stupid(which is easy for me), who runs the site that you linked? Who is behind this? Is it credible in your opinion?
