there is no reason to take OBL alive. i don't think he would tell us anything. if found, we should just kill him and be done with it.

I agree that OBL isn't about to spill te beans if he's interrogated the way LEO would deal with a common car thief herein the states. But I can't help but think of that scene from the Marathon Manwith the dentist and the drill. Lots of pain.

I've been trying to interpret this information literally to come up with the likely dates. It's probably useless speculation. Thoughts?

There was the post on January 22 about the person on horseback travelling--




For Ayman Al-Banna
Tthe phrophets journey from Medina to Tiram
Thu Jan 22 2004 7:55:08 pm
62.47.124.158

"In the time it took the prophets to travel on horseback from the holy city of medina to tiram amerikkkkkkka will suffer total destuction and consuming fires"

It was guestimated that that trip would take about 8 days. That would bring us up to Jan. 30

It was also said that the video of the attacks in SA will be shown prior to the attack on US, and that the attack will take place before the 1st of February.

January 30?

Judging from the difference between Saddddammmmnnn and sons,

there was clear benefit to humiliation of a living, demonstrably authentic Saddam than the sons thing which some still doubt were really the sons.

Otherwise, I'd have agreed with you.

Perhaps parade him around humiliatingly for a month or so then transfer him to another facility and stage a covert attack on the convoy blowing him up videotaped. Prove it with body parts afterward.

Two words:

Sodium Pentathol.

Actually, I'd advocate torture of the most painful kind as well.

Heck, ANYTHING is permissable, if it will save potentially hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives.

My wife doesn't agree. But I keep reminder her..this is WAR, and the bad guys want to obliterate us. It's not time to play "nice".
