Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

Terror lord Osama bin Laden's son said U.S. and British forces "will never track down my father" - raising questions about what would happen if the Saudi-born millionaire is caught alive.

"America and Britain will never track down my father," bin Laden's son Abdullah told Britain's Sunday Mirror. "He has vanished into the landscape - he is invisible."

The Mirror in today's editions also quoted bin Laden's son, one of 42 children fathered by the terror kingpin, as saying his father had disappeared with 60 trucks filled with satellite equipment Sept. 11, the day of the suicide hijack attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

All I can think of is the line Edward G. Robinson speaks in the the movie Little Caesar:
"Mother of mercy . . . is this the end of Rico?"

Ya know, part of the plan may be to never let the world know that he is dead. If we bury him with a bunker buster, in a cave some where, the Taliban or what ever is left of it will never tell where he is or that he died. They will have this goast fighter to indoctrinate into the heads of the next generation of terrorists. We will be seeing his face for the next 100 years.

Some years ago, a terrorist group in Lebabon kidnapped six Soviet diplomats. To show they were serious, they killed one and dumped his body in a prominent location.

The KGB moved in. They found out the name of the group's leader. Then they kidnapped his son. They sent one of his testicles to his father with a note: "Release our people or you will have the rest of him back in pieces of similar size."

All we were told by Dan Rather was "Today five Russian diplomats were released unharmed."

One of our problems is that we keep trying to fight by our rules instead of the rules "on the ground". We keep trying to play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules, while the other guy has brass knucks and a broken bottle.

So my suggestion is to take a few hostages of our own, say...this particular loud-mouthed son. We may have to go through a fair number of them, but I'd expect eventually to get Dad's attention.

Hopefully, fighting by Marquis of Queensbury rules with one hand tied back is something we were cured of by Vietnam. If your enemy would and has used such tactics, all's fair. The same goes for CBN. We should be gassing caves with stuff that makes Anthrax look like a mild cold.

Gross- but whatever works. But lets face it, we're too nice and we keep expecting them to make nice back with us.

I'd say cut his nuts off just for the hell of it and stuff them in his big mouth. Oppps. There I go again, getting carried away.

Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive"...He has vanished into the landscape - he is invisible."

The poor little twit is just trying to be factual...about Bin Laden being atomized at the front end of an 18,000 pound Bunker Buster.

He is demised, he is no longer. He...is an ex-Cleric.
