Fully agree. Targeting hits on the financial sources and his money minions is something that is low cost, trackable, more effective than dropping bombs on camel tents though not as emotionally gratifying.

The scary things are where this will lead us. To the Saudi and Gulf elite business structure perhaps paying protection money? Panama, Russia, Cuba, Japan, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and to US and British banks which facilitate these transactions without asking a lot of questions.

CIA & NSA could do wonders here and might bring down some drug cartels at the same time.

One wonders why the Bin Laden family business remains in business, and what electronic trail is left to follow on short selling which was so evident last week?

As to protection money, I understand that a lot of that is being paid by Saudis and others. One would think that, if that is the case, they would perhaps send little untraceable birdies to sing to various intelligence agencies as to the contacts. In any event, I do hope that the war to be waged is fought on this front as well, and as it must to remove this cancer....

My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so.  But we need to help FR too.  Where would we be right now without it?

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE? <--click here
