Anyone want to take odds on catching Osama or Zarqawi?

And, I guess Pace is also predicting a bad Mid-term election for the dems. I liked Myers, but I like Pace better.

[Mr. Mojo]

Hopefully bad for internal enemies as well.

"Hopefully bad for internal enemies as well."

Dittos to that!

Not if the MSM has anything to say about it ...

Bad enemies! No salsa for you.

I am not that optimistic, but I would guess there will be less attacks by terrorists in Iraq for 2006 compared to the following years, based on data.

Iran, Iran, Iran. It's going to be a beautiful Spring.

[tomahawk]

Mullahs in Iran, this is where the focus must be, as they are building nukes and are allies of Al Qaeda. They would love nothing more than to nuke NYC and D.C., taking down the Great Satan.

They must be stopped.

[YankeeDoodleRebel]

My sentiments exactly. This is the focus. This is the mission.

[jmc1969]

But, I think there could be a big one in Europe or another Western country. Zarqawi is going to want to make up for less attacks in Iraq for more attacks elsewhere that will of course get more media then attacks in Iraq.

[BoBToMatoE]

Does this include the NYT,ComPost? and NewsLeak?

I have the feeling that Gen. Pace is a man of small physical stature but has huge cajones.

[YankeeDoodleRebel]

Could be. Iraq is done from a Global War perspective. Iran is the epicenter. Those bastards are killing our boys. They are funding the terrorists. Where is the Bush Doctrine? Cut off the head, save our boys... Quit screwing around.

Actually , he's a fairly good sized man. Rummy and the prior JCS, Richard Myers with General Pace are shown in this picture.

[farlander]

Hear hear.

The odds of catching Zarqawi are well over 90%. His 'habitat for inhumanity' has been shrinking rapidly, and he's almost certainly running out of safe places to hide. Further, I suspect it'll be the Iraqis who catch him, and they almost certainly won't be taking him alive. I'm guessing that Wolf Brigade gets him before mid summer, and he's killed 'resisting arrest' or with a suicide vest.

As far as Bin Laden, all I'll say is that I assess the odds of a kill or capture to be closer to 15%.

[jazusamo]

I believe you are correct. I was used to seeing him stand next to Gen. Myers and always had the impression he was on the small side.
