the local Al Qaeda group is considered by ma-ny to be unassailable in the Sahara

The B-52s could never carpet bomb them there.

Islam is at war with the world and the world don’t know it.

Militants linked to Al Qaeda are building fortified bun-kers in the Algeria and Mali areas of the Sahara desert to shelter militants from air attacks,

Like that will protect them from a JDAM hit LOL

I hope they are that stu-pid.

Perfect! Bunkers are the ideal thing for Al Qaeda, it’s exactly what we want. Get them all together in one central location, and we suddenly have a new test target to evaluate the operation of the bunker busters!

So nice of them to volunteer to be test subjects...

That's nice, but what's the point of hiding out in a wasteland? You cannot kill and maim with no infidels around.

I think they would be very surprised if the surface above their bunkers was fused to glass...

The liberals don't know it yet, they are too entrenched in their ideology or are just plain stupid. The rest of us were hit up side the head on 9-11 and learned a hard lesson first time around.

In my Travel Medicine practice, I have seen a number of very healthy young men with short haircuts and Ray-Bans with a sudden interest in travel for an extended period to Northern Niger and Mali.

It's curious that they come to me - obviously they are not traveling on orders - perhaps they are going for the waters?

FADM Halsey is no longer with us. Neither is Gen LeMay.

Nothing worked for the Japs because we would stop at nothing.

That is no longer true.

Right! Let all the roaches gather in one spot so we only have to use 1 JDAM.

I have trouble believing they would be so stupid. If they are in the desert, with no civilian area surrounding them, then there is no limit to what we could do to them without worry of collateral damage.

Right you are. Now we stop immediately if CAIR screams “foul” or “racism.”

“Going of the waters?”

Are you crazy?!

There is very little in the way of potable (drinkable) water in the Magreb. Are these very healthy young men with short haricuts and Ray-Bans Americans, or some sub-species?

About the only thing we won’t stop doing are drones or guided munitions. Should be enough to blast these “bunkers” to smithereens.

Muzzie bunkers plus UAVs equals traditional unmarked Muzzie graves. Thanks LibWhacker.

Al Qaeda was originally formed as an anti Saudi movement. They hate the Saudi kingship over Mecca.

The Arabs will kill them long before we have time to get there. This is probably the point of this public article.
