"And so the conversation goes like this:

#1 Terrorist: Yeah man, I am just bored to death here in Europe, any good action anywhere?

#2 Terrorist: I hear ya man, the only action I have heard about is in Iraq, I understand the virgins are ripe for the picking, the only thing is we will have to go through about 150,000 pissed off Americans

#1 Terrorist: Hey, that doesn't sound too bad, pass the pipe and let's hit the road.

#2 Terrorist: Okay, let me saddle up the camels and we are out of here"


This was a conversation btwn Muhammed al Cheech and Achmed Chong, right?

"A few MOABS on Mecca would clear up this nonsense very quickly."

How exactly?

[Prodigal Son]

We should set up our own Al Quaida training camps. And "process" any volunteers that show up.

Excellent. I like that idea.

Personally, I have an odd idea myself (not that yours was odd- I think yours makes a lot of sense). We should put out our own call for suicidal types to carry out missions. You could look on it as a way to allow them to kill themselves and serve their country at the same time.

Take it with a grain of salt or take it and run with it...

This alone was worth taking over Iraq. How else could we get them to come from all over the world and congragate in a relatively small place?

This is a vastly overlooked and misunderstood strategic objective of the Bush planners in the War on Terror:

Engage the enemy.

It's working to a tee, and the media is completely missing it.

"We should put out our own call for suicidal types to carry out missions. You could look on it as a way to allow them to kill themselves and serve their country at the same time."

Well actually, we could put out the call for suicidal types ourselves, but instead of actually sending them on missions, we should get them help.

But on second thought, just putting out the call, is a form of condoning suicide. So I would have to say no.

[Cobra64]

It is called, "responding to the enemy". Ever read a history book? Ever read news of what the bad guys are doing to their own people. If not maybe you can watch the news.
