Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

That's the whole idea! (The kid must be dense.)

[DocCincy]

To: Bin Laden's Son

And your point would be....?

[right]

You'll Never Take Him Alive - - Oh well!

[wideawake]

Ummm . . . why haven't we taken his son into custody? He's clearly a collaborator who has useful information. He should be in a basement at The Tombs right now being proactively debriefed, if you know what I mean.

[js1138]

I personally envision him sealed forever in one of his underground bunkers. No need to worry about which one. In fact it will be much better if he just quits communicating and is never found.

[CPL BAUM]

I think we can find a way to make him GLOW IN THE DARK

Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

Promise?

[NoClones]

It is obvious that the level of education the kid had was substandard:

'Invisible'? - with 60 trucks & satellite equipment?

[general_re]

What was that line from "Men in Black"?

"Your offer is acceptable." ;)

[Quilla]

He is invisible.

Yea, but is he bulletproof?

[TheGoodDoc]

"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."

Dream on you vermin fecal mass.

Trust me. Dear old dad will soon assume room temperature, along with all of his henchmen and thugs.

Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

Okay, fine!
Whatever floats your boat.

[Fresh Wind]

Maybe he's already dead, in which case Junior is right.

[g'nad]

Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

O.K. by me...do you want us to send his residue home?...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Osama bin Laden? D-E-A-D works for me.

[1Old Pro]

. "He has vanished into the landscape - he is invisible."

Sounds like the son abuses opium.

[arete]

I seriously doubt that we really want bin Laden alive. It would only cause more problems. Better that we have a dead body, or better, pieces of a dead body.

Bin Laden Son: You'll Never Take Him Alive

OKAY!

[mc5cents]

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?"

[Flint]

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.
