Not bad. I wonder who gets the credit for this one.

I hope that Osama remembers that when we got a chance, we went after Yamamoto, and Thomas Lanphier didn't blow his chance.

Flowers are nice, but I'm going to pray for his soul.

Here's hoping you have a lot more praying to do. Don't forget, every live terrorist is a threat to freedom.

It wasn't bin Laden...all she knew was that his name had a "Mohammed" in it (really narrows it down, eh? =). Perhaps it was Mullah Omar?

Why are so many boxers named Mohammed?

Is it Arabic for Rocky?

Good riddance. We'll get every one of the others, too. You can take that to the bank.

Why not flowers?

It's against Islamic law to send flowers. The Islamic Dear Abby www.islam-qa.com says so.

The soul is lost. Once they face God, your prayers do little. Pray for the fools that are still alive.

Top Terrorist Reported Killed

(CBS) A top operator in the al-Qaida network, Muhammad Atef, has been killed, reports CBS News Correspondent David Martin, citing an intelligence report. If the death can be verified, it would signify a major breakthrough against the terror network. Atef is believed to have trained the Sept. 11 hijackers who killed thousands in New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania.

But a card with a little surprise inside might be fun. Oh, the possibilities are limitless!
