Here's hoping the heads of Osama and Saddam are on stakes in the frontlawn of the Whitehouse Sept 11th, 2003.

This would sure shut down the "we're not doing enough in the 'war on terror'" crowd wouldn't it?

The 'blame America first' crowd may have some serious backtracking to do if we get Mullah Omar and Saddam soon.. (we seem to be hot on their tails almost every day and smelling blood)

I have just started listening to 'Holy War, Inc'. The author interviewed bin Laden in 1997. It is really interesting, how outspoken he was about his hatred for America, and what he planned to do.

And how many times have we supposedly "got Osama cornered" , or "surrounded Mullah Omar" or 'captured/killed Chemical Ali"?
Show me the body.

. . . surrounded in the villiage of Sarang . . . LEVEL IT NOW!!! And don't allow any of our Afghan "allies" to make any cease-fire deals like they did in Tora Bora.
To: prarie earth
In groups of 2 or 3, with Hit-&-Run tactics, they were like an annoying bunch of insects..........THIS sounds like they committed the mistake of congregating their forces in one spot.
I wonder if the orders to get the Afghans out of the way was a nod to the fiasco of Tora Bora, when they left the 'backdoor' open?
Kill 'em all.
