I believe the President said "Dead or Alive" Guess Mr Bin Ladin is going for the first option. That works for me.

alliance commanders appeared to be chafing at the bit

Is it my imagination, or are metaphors being mixed here? A mixed metaphor always sticks in my claw.

Mr bin Laden warned the US-led coalition that he would never allow himself to be captured alive. "America can't get me alive," he told a Pakistani interviewer.

I'm supposed to be upset?

[Elenya]

"America can't get me alive," he told a Pakistani interviewer.

Where did he get the ridiculous idea that we wanted him alive?

[Post Toasties]

They'll never take me alive, see....!

Kalashnikov toting bin Laden is sounding more like a '40's B Movie gangster all the time.

[OrioleFan]

Good! That will keep the lawyers out of it.

[Mr. Lucky]

I agree with you. Trite cliches are not my cup of tea.

Yogi Berra was good for mixed metaphors and malapropisms. As he might advise the retreating Taliban, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

You're absolutely right. Puts a burr in my bonnet, too.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well, let's not be so hasty here.If Clinton's lawyers got involved they would argue over what dead, "IS".BWAHAHAHA

[LJLucido]

I wondered who might catch that! One woman I knew was always asking "What in carnation is going on around here?" I never bothered to suggest the correct expression - I figured she just liked flowers.

There's more than one way to skin a couple of birds in the bush.

WalkinMan, Great shot (pun intended) of Dirty Harry. I was going to say Clint (Eastwood) but didn't want to associate Eastwood with Clint-on.

Any more pics of Dirty Harry?

a friend of mine is in dasht-i-qaleh, this is not a hoax, please pray for him, he works for Shelter for Life in the Taloquan province and this is his city. I will find the video for all to see.

These folks are ruthless, they show no mercy to anyone, either side. They sure don't need a place to confine each other when caputured, just kill them and its all over. I was hoping that the southern tribes would join up and walk into Kubal. A year from now they will be fighting each other, that is the hatred they have within.

[mlocher]

but Mr. Bush tell them [NA] not to [invade Kabul]"

i understand that bush is trying to pacify certain moslem countries. i also understand that franks is bombing along the road to kabul. fortunately, bush does not have authority over the NA, so they should do as they deem appropriate.

most times that a football team plays prevent defense it gets scored upon. NA -- onward to kabul!
