I believe JohnHuang2 posted a similar article translated from French but this one might prove to be a little clearer.

Tony Blair is growing increasingly frustrated with the administration of President George W Bush for not pursuing diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives more vigorously.

This has the ring of untruth. For a hardshell lefty, Tony has a real fondness for playing at soldiers.

As soon as I hear a British accent I automatically become skeptical.

I have a buddy in the Navy down in Gitmo. Hope you are having more fun than he says he is having. LOL

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts"

Message to Nothern Alliance. We are going to get Bin Laden and Al Queda with or without your permission. If you do anything to hinder this objective, remember those bombs that helped you move out the Taliban can just as easily have your names inscribed upon them.

The pig-headed bastard had better hope the Americans get to him first.

The SAS are among the world's toughest and most ruthless fighting men.

Bloody awesome!

Bye bye, Osama!

Adopt the position!

Just heard something funny on MSNBC. Seems the Taliban keep mentioning that there are numerous Osama look alikes. Some dude on MSNBC said that we know the end is near because when we kill Osama, the Taliban will claim it's not really him but one of the look alikes.

These ragheads have no imagination!

[shaggy eel]

,,, post #7 - yeah!!! Trust your crew Osama, they know what to do!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Agreed!

Seems to me that if/when OBL is found, his body should be made unrecognizable and/or buried where it won't be found, preferably at sea. Also the fact that he is dead shouldn't be published.

The reason is: why make a martyr out OBL, the SOB?

Also, this will give us a reason to keep on "looking" for him in other places, e.g., Iraq, Sudan, etc., etc., until we completely clean out the scummy bunch.

Bin Laden - Yes, he's a MORON, but a smart, cagey, sadistic, murdering, pigheaded, PSYCHOTIC, moron.

[Gracey]

OBL....and/or buried where it won't be found...

Good point - My preference would be to bury him and his buddies ALIVE. Bomb the entrances and close off the air passages and let them rot.

Seems the Taliban keep mentioning that there are numerous Osama look alikes.

Can't believe there are too many Arabs or Islamics that are 6'5" tall, and be as thin as OBL.

[GuillermoX]

Are Arabs generally a short people (I don't mean short in stature or intelligence)?

This statement is right on the money. If they don't like it, that's just tough $hit.

[Gracey]

They are, in general, short in stature, especially foreign born, Arabs, Middle Easterners. American born tend to be taller, as well as American born Asians. Must be the food in foreign countries??

[Go Gordon]

How many look alikes do you think they have that are 6'-5"?
