A new audiotape from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden will be aired today on the Arabic news station al Jazeera, the organisation claims.

I wasn't even trying to be funny. I was being lazy. I wanted to compare her to Belizibub; but I could not remember how to spell it.
That maybe true ... but I prefer the Great Diaperhead!
Even General Chat?
The country that can travel to Mars and put a man on the moon can certainly recover from a 9/11 type attack fully and swiftly.

Raghead would do too!
>>>Humor does have truth in it.
The basis of true comedy.
I dunno. If you want to, you can post it for me, the link is up in there where I posted it. I don't wanna get myself in any trouble.
Nice one but I still think we got him he's dead Pres. Bush doesn't want people to know.
He will go down in history as the great unknown. I believe he was captured. I believe he will never see the light of day again. And that is all we will be left to ponder :)
"We can't act quickly enough," the officer said. "And that is a geographic or a structural problem, but it's also a bureaucratic problem because you got too many layers."
He added that top al Qaeda leaders and other so-called high-value targets — such as al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar — had been spotted since Sept. 11.
"Zawahiri and Mullah Omar, in separate instances, were observed going into a certain location," the officer said. "This is what we call actionable intelligence. And there were conventional Special Forces teams in the area."
But killing or capturing bin Laden and his top lieutenants is a job exclusively designated to a special task force, variously known as Task Force 121 or Task Force 626. No one else can do the deed. And the go order, this officer said, can be a long time coming.
"When you get an actionable intelligence, then that intelligence has to be confirmed," he said. "Once confirmed, then there is a planning cycle that's entered into, three courses of action. Courses of action have to be approved at higher headquarters. Coordination with other elements has to be made. And then, of course, it has to be approved at the highest levels of our government. Well, in this world, people don't stand still that long, particularly people who … know they're being hunted."
Forget about the small tinge of conventional SOF Vs black SOF that is suggested here (but know also that there is some truth to that issue to a lesser degree).
The bigger picture though is the OODA loop and why these SOBs at times have been able to operate inside ours -
This was well done!

Gee I don't know. I only have a Ph.D., so I must really be stupid to watch it.
'I only have a Ph.D., so I must really be stupid to watch it.'
Chances are you could have attended a liberal college and this would not exactly make you a brilliant person.
Is there a transcript of what he said?
Yeah, guess you're right. You must be the brilliant one.
Oh, lemme know when you've written 25 books, too.
