Osama Bin Laden, Omar won’t be taken alive
2003-12-16
And this is a problem, how?:
Saddam Hussein’s capture leaves two household names left on the U.S. "terror" wanted list. But unlike Saddam, neither al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden nor Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar is likely to be taken alive, a top Pakistani cleric with close ties to Afghanistan’s ousted Taliban regime warned.
Sammy wasn't going to be taken alive, either. Had a boom belt and everything, remember?
And even if either were to be captured, it would do little to stem violence blamed on the groups, said Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, who knew Omar and called for a jihad, or holy war, against the United States during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. "From what I know about these people you cannot arrest them alive," Shamzai told Reuters in an interview in Karachi.
It would be hard to arrest Binny alive since he’s been dead for two years now. If you corner Mullah Omar, he’s more likely to fight to the death because he is a true believer. You can always take somebody alive if you catch them sleeping.

#11  Okay Rantburgers, putcher money where yer mouth is. Since I believe that Mullah Omar will end similar to Saddam Hussein, I put up a "WOT Future" titled "Mullah Omar captured without personally resisting". I say within one year.

I wanted to try working in "captured without resisting, but crying and soiling himself", but that is less a prediction than an expression of the contempt I have for these ignorant bullies.

#10  Cheddarhead - right on. Since there is actually no law in Pakiwakiland, we should suggest to Perv that every one of these zeros who implies they communicate with OBL or Omar or other Taliban (or Elvis) should be picked up and hammered for info. If they really have it, great. If they don't, a coupla rounds of truncheons will convince them to STFU. Having a lawless society (Yeah, I know they claim to have Shari'a - that was included) can be convenient, at times. We pay through the nose for this arrangement, let's make it pay off. Been kinda quiet on the helpful side since capturing Sheik.

We would have alot better chance of catching them if we would sweat this guy a little and all the rest of the asshats that claim to know things.

#8  Bomb - I was with you until that last sentence. We don't want any of this foul cretin's essence released back into the environment - we have enough problem with the Greens as it is. His pigskin-wrapped body should be soaked with gasoline and burned in a controlled burn, until there's not even ashes left. Then VERY CAREFULLY clean the combustion chamber, and get it ready for the next Islamofascist.

No problem at all. Hang the guy's lifeless body from a Kabul lamppost for a couple of days, then wrap it up with pork rinds and bury it in a public ceremony.

#5  Cybersarge, I agree with your 'special' unit but I would add an addition, that the Unit kills the fatwa spitting clerics in a way that makes it look like Allah did it. I'm not sure how Allah punished folk in the Koran but lightning, etc, can be simulated.

#4  That's what they said about Saddam. Osama will come quietly like a little biznatch the minute it even looks like he might get hurt. And Shamzai will cry like a little biznatch when he sees the footage of Osama submitting to a colonoscopy. Martyrdom is for the peons.

#3  Or as the great philosopher Fred Rantburgensis would say:

"HOKAY"

#2  Excuse Mr. Qusai-Leader in the 'Religion of Peace' why are you calling for a war on we Americans? Is it because you like living under a dictator? If I were King there would be a 'special' unit that took care of all the fatwa spitting clerics in the world. Declare war on us? Ok we KILL you game over. Also I am willing to bet that Omar and Osama will (if captured) act just as much of a bitch Saddam did. His sons had bigger stones than Saddam they died after a four-hour battle.
