| al-Qaida Boss Warns U.S. Over Detainees | |
| 2003-08-03 | |
A new audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden's top deputy warns the United States that it will pay dearly if it harms detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The tape, broadcast Sunday, urges Muslims everywhere to avenge the prisoners. The Arab satellite station Al-Arabiya said the tape was from Ayman Al-Zawahri. According to the tape, the threat was a response to Washington's announcement that it will start putting the detainees on military trials that could result in death sentences. "I swear by the almighty God ... that crusader America will pay dearly for any harm done to any of the Muslim prisoners it is holding," the recording said. The Arabic recording said every prisoner held by the "infidels" should know that his release is a "debt hanging from the neck of every" Muslim fighter and that "his brothers have not forgotten that they will avenge him from the new crusaders. "But we tell America one thing: what you have seen so far is nothing but the first skirmishes. The real battle hasn't started yet."

| #8 Ayman, your room at Club Gitmo's all ready for you. Screw that; Gitmo's too damn good for his ass. A bullet between his eyes is all that is necessary, which assures U.S. taxpayer money from being wasted on keeping him alive. |

| #7 Mike - I had to make up the IJHS and GDHS monikers, since they predate the Boyz... I hope I did OK by 'em! Edits and additions welcomed! Amazing how many FS references are still spot-on for geopolitics 30 yrs hence! |

| #5 Ayman, your room at Club Gitmo's all ready for you. We'll crank up the AC so you got something to bitch about. And move it along in the buffet line, okay? But if your bullet riddled corpse turns up and you gotta cancel, that's okay too. |

| #4 Oops - my bad. 2 corrections: 1) Tribunals, not Tibunals 2) I didn't mean to imply that the defunctization of Commieism wasn't a global war of ideology vs freedom. Obviously it was precisely that. Forgive me. Correction: Since the inauguration of the first and still one and only true democratic Constitutional Republic in the World designed to be such that actually works (don't agree? prove I'm wrong - meanwhile piss off) there are 3 apparent global conflicts between asshat ideologies and freedom. Here's the bracket, for you sports fans: More Science HS vs Commie Martyrs HS (MSHS won in overtime) More Science HS vs Islamic Jihad HS (tied, 1st Qtr) Winner to face Golden Dragon HS in the *finals. * Other tournaments will be scheduled, as needed. The the world has no shortage of petty local tyrant asshats who wish to become important global tyrant asshats. |

| #3 I find it interesting that the audiotape was from "Ayman" instead of "Osama". Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but... Is it possible that al-Qaida has been so attrited that they can't even fake Osama Been-A-Red-Smear-For-Awhile-Now's voice anymore? |

| #2 Must mean we're doing things right. Start the Tibunals and grease the rope for that satisfying "snap!" "The real battle hasn't started yet." He got that right. I can't help but wonder when the avg person in the West, excluding those internally compromised countries like Phrawnce, will start to "get it" and see this is the first of 2 global wars of ideology (the first is dressed in a threadbare joke religion) versus freedom. The second war will come very shortly thereafter - and the opponent will be China. I marvel at the self-delusions that people can sell themselves. Sad. |
