AIN AL-HELWEH, Lebanon, Sept 11 (AFP) -
Dozens of Palestinian refugees fired into the air with joy Tuesday at news of apparent anti-US terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, AFP correspondents witnessed.
Guerrillas in military fatigues from various factions fired assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades into the air in the Ain al-Helweh refugee camp at the outskirts of the southern port city of Sidon, one correspondent said.
Camp residents, some still in pyjamas, interrupted afternoon rests to rush down to the streets and fire assault rifles into the air, they said.
At the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Palestinian fighters also went out to the streets as soon as they heard the news from their television sets to fire into the air with joy, an AFP correspondent said.

If I were Palestinian I'd be making a quick exit from the USA. I don't know about anyone else but I'm kind of pissy with them right now.

Actually, I'll take bets on how long it takes for the other arab/palastinian/etc. groups to give him up. They'll hide him and help him when the stakes are small, but they've p&(*(^ off the wrong people this time! One thing that the arabs are NOT about, is courage. ESPECIALLY when the someone coming after them is not another third world country. YOU"D BETTER TELL ALLA, OR BUDDA, OR ANYONE ELSE TO GET YOUR ROOMS READY ...YOU'RE GOIN" HOME !!!!!!!

Bombing people doesn't make them scared
I am not looking to scare the terrorist - just to kill them. Prey tell, how does bombing fail that goal?

Screw assets. Give them 24 hours to hand over Bin Laden and anyone associated with him. If they don't, nuke, not "carpet bomb" not, "fire a few cruise missiles" _nuke_ Kabul to the ground. Then give them 24 more hours. If he "exits the country" tell them they just lost _two_ cities. Continue until they have given us Bin Laden (or his head, I don't really care which), they don't have a single city, town, village, hamlet or shack, or we run out of nukes.
If he makes it out alive, continue as necessary with anyone in the world.
Oh, and nuke Nablus and the Bekaa Valley (major support center and major recruiting areas for international terrorism) "pour encourage l'autre".

I think you're right on - no time to ascertain which specific one. Time to hit all of the handful that are suspected - ASAP and wholesale. (That is, if we have that capablility after 8 years of the nincompoop of a president his joke of an administration which we just endured.)

I say.... kill them with pigs from 15,000 feet. Load up 2,000,000 unclean pigs and carpet bomb the ragheads. Any muslem killed by unclean falling pigs cannot go to heaven. (good for the pig farmers too and cheaper than bombs)

The one thing that you hippie-liberal types always seem to forget is.....rules don't mean SQUAT if your side is the only one to follow them. It's real easy to sit back and say "let's not kill anybody," and "fighting never solved anything." How do you think WWII would've ended with garbage like that? I know, Hitler would've realized how many feelings he hurt, and would've begged for compassion and understanding. The pathetic part is, with people like you there, he would have gotten it! In your mind, I'm sure that bin-lauden will realize that he hurt people, and, with his trembling lower lip, will ask for forgiveness. Since you hate what this country is, and how it came about, so much, you should get on a plane and fly over there to offer him your forgiveness. And then.....get ready . It's an insult to anyone who's ever fought for this country to think they've done it all for self-centered, self-righteous ingrates like you and others like you! Next time you see a veteran, avert your eyes!

Fox just reported "Barbara Olsen" was on one of the hijacked planes. I will miss her.

But quit exhibiting pro Israeli racism at every turn - it gets us into this garbage. You decry anti-Arab bigotry but end your plea with putting the blame for this murderous outrage on Israel?

who don't chart a middle ground You want to chart a middle ground between those who simply want to live and those who simply want to kill?
