April 6, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Al Qaeda terrorists are distributing leaflets offering cash bounties of up to $100,000 for dead or captured American soldiers, journalists and aid workers, officials said yesterday.

If Clinton was still President, he'd sell Johnny Jihad for that much.

AT 100K a head, Clinton would hand over the entire 10th Mountain Division in a New York hearbeat.

And throw in all the D-Boys for pocket change.

And the Al Quata has the nerve to complain about how they're being treated in our prisons, with the left wing wacos help.
Maybe we should treat our Al Quata prisoners the same way they'd treat ours, aye?
BTW, for a nation complaining about being so poor and abused, where are they getting all the money? U.S.aid ???

Imagine there's no druggies,
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for the day- ah, ah, ahhh!

Lets get rid of the drug trash first.

My first question is..where is the money coming from? Osama in and of himself is not wealthy enough to fund this, along with everything else. Which means there are outside sources of funding. (hear that detractors of Bush's "Axis of Evil" comment?) Note also the irony...American Dollars is the proposed form of payoff. It seems to me if America is such a despotic, disgusting, "Great Satan" of a regime, even our money would be unclean.

Crashing through the night
Comes a fear full cry
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
No where to run
No where to hide
Panic spreading far and wide
Who can turn the tide?

GI Joe- A real American hero
Yo Joe!
GI Joe is there

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

Can the world oppose
Deadliest of foes?
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Joes will risk it all
To end the evil call of
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
They never give up
They never say die
Walking tall with banners high
They sound the battle cry-
Yo Joe! Yo Joe!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there

Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained
special mission force.
It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra-
a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.


GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
Cobra! Retreat! Retreat!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
GI Joe
Dedicated to all children of the 80's

Better yet, let's bankrupt Al Qaeda by dropping off all our drug dealers in Afghan towns. Two birds, one stone.

And throw in a pardon, a night in the Lincoln Bedroom, and a cup of coffee.

And if someone puts out, he'll get his Mr. Fix-it friend to arrange a job at Revlon or the UN.

How much for a G.I. Joe action figure?
Do they give more for a Cobra Commander?
