Osama and Al Qaeda are often used interchangeably.
Our folks and allies have killed about 3,000 terrorists and captured another 3,000.
But people like you want proof Osama is dead, or the war is failing. Bet you also think Saddam doesn't have any WMD since Hans can't find any, huh?
Hmm, seems like a good weekend for two separate 3-6" snow storms! I never thought I'd write that after all the shovelling I've been doing this winter.
Isn't that what we said to Osama?
Haven't seen him lately, have you? He's deader than a door nail.
Why, the tape even predicted that he would "die a martyr" this year.
Now there's an oxymoron.
For our President's Day poll, choose the recent president you think should be added to Mt. Rushmore.
* John F. Kennedy
* Ronald Reagan
* Bill Clinton
* George W. Bush
Or maybe you're already doing that since Reagan is winning with 66% of the vote.
One of the best war movies ever made, IMO.
I thought of that too. God's protection?
Doesn't sitting on them damage them?
Thanks a lot - I now have an image of Helen Thomas and a gas mask positioned like a thong stuck in my head.
what would a thong stuck in your head look like?

But if there befalls you grace from God, he would sayas though there were no friendship between you and himO would that I had been with thee to attain this mighty happiness! Let those then fight in Gods way who sell this life of the world for the next; and whoso fights in Gods way, then, be he killed or be he victorious, we will give him a mighty hire.
What ails you that ye do not fight in Gods way, and for the weak men and women and children, who say, Lord, bring us out of this town 19 of oppressive folk, and make for us from Thee a patron, and make for us from Thee a help?
Those who believe fight in the way of God; and those who disbelieve fight in the way of Tâghût; fight ye then against the friends of Satan, verily, Satans tricks are weak.
Do ye not see those to whom it is said, Restrain your hands, and be steadfast in prayer and give alms; and when it is prescribed for them to fight then a band of them fear men, as though it were the fear of God or a still stronger fear, and they say, O our Lord! why hast thou prescribed for us to fight, couldst thou not let us abide till our near appointed time? Say, The enjoyment of this world is but slight, and the next is better for him who fears;but they shall not be wronged a straw.
Why are ye two parties about the hypocrites, when God hath overturned them for what they earned? Do ye wish to guide those whom God hath led astray? Whoso God hath led astray ye shall not surely find for him a path. They would fain that ye misbelieve as they misbelieve, that ye might be alike; take ye not patrons from among them until they too flee in Gods way; but if they turn their backs, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them, and take from them neither patron nor help,save those who reach a people betwixt whom and you is an allianceor who come to you while their bosoms prevent them from fighting you or fighting their own people. But had God pleased He would have given you dominion over them, and they would surely have fought you. But if they retire from you and do not fight you, and offer you peace,then God hath given you no way against them.
Ye will find others who seek for quarter from you, and quarter from their own people; whenever they return to sedition they shall be overturned therein: but if they retire not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them;over these we have made for you manifest power.
