“Going of the waters?” Are you crazy?! There is very little in the way of potable (drinkable) water in the Magreb

I was misinformed.

If we’re going to drop any ordnance on Mali, I hope we save one for the home of that phlegmwad Malian referee that disallowed our goal.

While carpet bombing has its charms, I think a thermobaric weapon detonated just inside the entrance of each bunker would be much more effective.

I been saying this for a long time. liberals and Islam are very similar in that the more they are indoctrinated in their belief the more hate they spew.

that is why the National Socialists worked well with Islam they are united in hatred. Today you can see Islam still holds on to the Nazi views quite literally.

Crispy Qaeda would be much better. LOL

Hmm, maybe it's time we brush the dust off of this old guy:

“Terrorism: Al-Qaeda ‘building bunkers’ in the Sahara”

SNIPPET: “Timbuctu, 24 June (AKI) - Militants linked to Al-Qaeda are building fortified bunkers in the Sahara desert of Algeria and Mali to shelter militants from air attacks, security experts have claimed. The members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb have hidden themselves in the desert without any notion of national boundaries, according to the experts.

“We have different verifiable reports which enable us to state that AQIM is currently in the process of building shelters, or bunkers, in which to hide against attacks in the desert shared by Mali and Algeria,” a Malian source told the news site, Middle East Online.”

SNIPPET: “Experts stress that aircraft are vital to track them down and attack them.”

SNIPPET: “Hamed Maiga said the fighters had already laid minefields around their desert hideouts to guard against assaults overland.”

Warden Message: Segou (Mali) Kidnapping Threat
CONSULAR AFFAIRS BULLETINS
Sub-Saharan Africa - Mali
13 Aug 2010

U.S. Embassy Bamako released the following Warden Message on August 13, 2010:

The U.S. Embassy in Bamako is issuing this Warden Message to warn U.S. citizens of reports of a kidnapping threat against Westerners in Segou from the Islamic extremist group Al-Qaeda in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Accordingly, the Embassy recommends that U.S. citizens defer non-essential travel to Segou.

U.S. citizens who are currently in Segou should maintain good personal security practices and remain aware of their surroundings at all times, including always locking their homes and cars, varying routes and time of travel, and avoiding drawing attention to themselves. When going out, they should avoid being part of large, highly visible groups of Westerners, and should be particularly alert when frequenting locales associated with Westerners.
