A most excellent suggestion. Let him out at Ground Zero and see how far he makes it.

"Dashole will not like this development.

He'll find a way to diminish the importance. S.O.P.

[Howlin]

A big thank you to them. May God keep you safe.

You know, that is a wonderful point. We need to keep "these" people in our prayers, too.

[FoxGirl]

Could he have been wrong? Oh my!

I ask if he's one of the the guys who may have had something to do with the OKC bombing.

Yes, he is.

He was the probable leader of Ramzi Yousef's Manila Abu Sayyaf cell, and in fact, he is under indictment related to the Philippines-based bombing plot hatched there, which is widely considered to be the predecessor to the Sept. 11 attack.

He also has a penchant for repeatedly using ammonium nitrate bombs which are chemically identical to the OKC bomb, most recently in attacks in Bali and Karachi.

Gotta love GW's patient deliberate style. It reminds me of "ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety-nine bottles of beer..."

On a long enough bus trip you can actually get the last bottle.

They're reporting the FBI was in on this in a big way. I think our intelligence forces have caught the Bush spirit and are cookin' on all fours.

(Pardon the mixed metaphores. I'm pumped!

This is great news.

Wonder how much we will be able to get out of him.
Pakistan has some creative ways of extracting information from prisoners.

[Peach]

This is the best news we've had in a long time.

I didnt think it was possible to go after AlQaeda and Saddam at the same time..and wahat was George Clooney saying about we cant win?

>>Someone @ Gitmo is gonna make this boy their prom queen<<

He's not going to Gitmo.

He's going somewhere that you and I have never heard of, where things that don't really happen are going to be happening.

You in fact may never hear of him again.

In'shallah!

Exactly, and for the record we have more troops in Afghanistan now than we did at the time the Taliban fell apart (only 2000 on the ground then), with an 82nd abn brigade and hundreds of special operations there now.

Getting the #3 in Al Queda is huge news.

[hoosiermama]

This must be the result of some excellent work by folks who obviously will remain anonomous.
A big thank you to them. May God keep you safe.

AMEN! We should include the FBI and CIA in our "Support our Troops" rallies. They are truly on the front lines.

[Jim Noble]

>>or a night with the NYFD<<

In honor of our brave heroes, it's FDNY.

Never, never NYFD. NYPD is correct, however.

>> folks who obviously will remain anonomous<<

Men without footprints.

They're all over Allah's home field.

I think our message to Islamic religious fanatics is "God may not be on your side after all" and to suicide bombers, "we will help you with the suicide part"

[patton]

Shot, over.

he's being extradited to the US
