A tribute to dead terrorists.

he was a small piece of a big problem. thank you american pilots. now, where is osama?

[smokey the elder]

Thanks, 145 unit. What was lost in the ruckus may be a more long term relevant issue: the fact that Iraq has a completed cabinet.

Osama who? IMO, it would be nice to catch him, but strategically, al Qaeda has "franchised". al-Zawahiri (#2) is MUCH more dangerous.

[QUOTE]Osama who? ... osama is the one who made the preperations for the murder of more then 3000 humans on american soil on september 11, 2001. all they did that day was show up for work. have you forgotten? you're right al qaeda is dangerous, and osama still needs to die. that never changes.

In a military sense, it's almost better that Bin Laden stay alive, because keeping him alive is diverting large amounts of their assets to protecting him. He has been marginalized. In terms of Morale it would be a huge boost to get him, but in terms of the big picture it's not that important.

I think that's looking on the bright side of the problem of catching him.
Why can't we seem to catch the tallest man in the countries of Afghanistan
or Iraq?

[Lady's Human]

The main problem with trying to catch him is that the area he is probably hiding in is under the control of no government (despite what the lines on the map say) and is an area that is almost impossbile for the military to maneuver in. It is a tribal area, and anyone in that isn't a member of the tribes is known immmediately. It is also an area that has been used by smugglers for centuries, and is riddled with tunnels and caves.

I was being sarcastic. Geez. Of COURSE I know who Osama is. I live 40 miles from ground zero, thank you very much. The "Osama who?" was as if I was in Bush's head.

You'll get him in the end guys. We visited New York in the December following 7/11 and will never forget the warm welcome we were given

Has anyone ever tired to kill a gopher?

Not that easy.

The tunnels and caves of Afghanistan are not just holes in the ground that you can find on a map.

Some were built as irrigation tunnels and are quite complex.

If you want to know about the perils of fighting an enemy in a tunnel, Read material on the Tunnel Rats that fought in Chu Chi during the Viet Nam war.

Find the shortest guy of the group, Give him a pistol, a flashlight and tie a rope to his ankle so you can pull him out if he gets hurt.

Dang,

They filled Al-Z's job already?


Man, that's a job to die for, eh?
