His head's worth $50M? I wonder what his whole body's worth?!

I still think they'd have better luck offering a couple of yaks and 144 virgins.

You bring up a good point.

I have been wondering why some super-bounty-hunter hasn't taken up the challenge. Invest 2 or 3 million, find him, and literally bring his head back. 25-1 ROI.

If they wouldn't turn him over for 25 million, what makes them think that 50 million is going to make a difference?

Hell, 25 million would barely cover the maintanance cost on a Manhattan co-op. With the extra 25 mil you'd be stylin'.

Pretty tough for an American bounty hunter to operate in that culture and climate without losing his own head.

It would have made much more sense to make it:
$25Mil and, now, limited-time-only, 3 goats.

My thoughts exactly. Can you just imagine one of his lieutenants discussing the reward with his wife:

"For 25 million--no way! But 50 million--now you're talking!."

ROFLMAO....it's a waste of taxpayer money when they could employ someone for much less to take him out. Whatever happened to the "soldiers of fortune"?

They should add "Dead or Alive" and the liberal Abu Gharaib cheerleaders can go suck an egg.

A lot of money can buy a lot of deception.

If nothing else, it would make a great movie.

There ain't much in Afghanistan thats worth $2. But then again, give him the rest in $1 bills and he'll never have to go out looking for firewood again.....

Sounds like this would require a pretty elaborate pike?
