Right on, let's hit these dirtbags where they live. It's gotta be real demoralizing to al-Qaeda scum when their leaders keep blowing up on their way to policy meetings!

I hope they saw it coming...otherwise they wouldn't know what hit 'em.

Or maybe the missile can talk when it get's close?

Reality probably, was that these guys were blown up after a few days of frank and e(a)rnest interrogation by our guys or SAS.

agreed-it'll never be reported if true, and if it ain't bein done, we are failing.

Actually, this is being charged against an OSHA accident.

In the line of work these bastards are in, this is going to become a common occupational workplace occurrence.

Talk about your insurance rates going up.....

I wonder if anyone has told the Iraqi people that if Saddam is near them they too will die as this time we will not be careful. Maybe then they will decide to take care of the problem themselves. With a little help from their friends.

With some pig fat on it to ease entry. Hope this is just one of many to follow. I am sure Saddam has to realize that he is more in the bulls eye now. The war should start with every one of his palaces being taken out.

Stock market bubble, economic recession, USS Cole Murder, Al Quaida Attacks.
