I think you might be talkin' bout Al Zhewerri. He was the one responsible for killing Anwar Sadat. Don't know. If it is him he needed to go too.

Here's hoping you have a lot more praying to do. Don't forget, every live terrorist is a threat to freedom.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm glad he is dead. I will pray for all of them. I hope all of the terrorists get wiped of the face of the earth. I will still pray for them.

I'll believe that when a body that is no longer breathing is confirmed to be him by Rumsfeld.

Perhaps it was Mullah Omar?

No, Omar is just the Taliban leader.

If you had Omar and bin Laden in a room and a gun with two bullets, shoot bin Laden twice to be sure even if it means that Omar gets away.

It's gonna be hard for ObL to breathe with his head on a pike. That sort of thing really plays hob with most voluntary and involuntary motor movement.

Does the pilot get the $5 million reward that was on Atef's head?

"This must be some sort of terrible mistake."

"Then, on Sunday, Satan gets them all day. I can't even imagine what he's got cooked up for them."

Great story!

How could anyone think that God would reward them in Heaven or Paradise for cutting the throat of a poor female flight attendant from ear to ear, killing the pilots, then crashing the jet into a skyscraper killing thousands of innocent people?

All of these murdering ba$tards will get "rewarded" for sure by their real god, SATAN!

Fox News says he was killed by our Special Forces, and that they are currently seeking out Taliban and al Quaeda leaders and killing them.

This is the report from Fox...I don't know if it is correct or another confused report. (Of course everything will be much clearer when Afghani expert Geraldo gets there tomorrow.)

If I'm right, you'll never see Pernell Roberts alive again.

"No -- the good doctor is another person all together"

Egyptian surgeon Ayman al-Zawahiri is the second in command in Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. ABC News, "The World's Second Most Wanted Man"
