| #20 Whether Osama is in Iran or Packistan, after 9 years, I have no doubt he is concerned about those under orders from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC.. Because, they aren't allowed to go into Iran or the death valleys and mountains of Pakistan and Osama is smart enough to be where those people are allowed to be. What Osama is worried about, are individuals like Faulkner on a persoanl mission for revenge, answering to no one, ready to die feeling Heaven is a much greater place than this place. I don't think he will put others in harms way because they won't know what he is doing, and he won't let them know. The greatest Jihadist today, Osama, could be getting his first taste of terror, knowing a lone wolves, just as suicidal and "crazy" as his Martyrs, are coming for him. |

| #19 Mental or not - we need more patriots like this -- he has more balls than anyone here fighting jihad from the comfort of your hone Wow...talk about flaming. But hey, you nailed it with a breathtaking soliloquy of literary eloquence: The comment alluded to the super-duper, double-dog-dare, uber-secret CIA program of sending 'questionable assets' (i.e., 'mental patients') to dazzle & confound the enemy on the ground. So, when yours actually drop, know 2 things: 1. You don't know anything about anyone here (certainly not about my resume) and, 2. It's called 'sardonicism', aka, SARCASM. You, sir, may pick up your travel orders @ 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC. Pack for high altitude/desert and bring a Pashto & Dari literary guide. And grow a beard, (if you can). Sword is optional, but not recommended. It would be helpful to practice PLF as well... |

| #12 If he hadn't been in Chitral they'd have ignored him. |

| #11 52 is too old to join the Army, he has a bad kidney and wants revenge for his lost loved ones. Better there chasing Osama than at my local post office. I hope he doesn't get in much trouble. |

| #6 Guys like that always do more harm than good. At least he did not get as far as Jack Adima. If he wants to do the right thing he should join the Army, the agency, but not like this. Now he will be used as a propaganda tool against us. Which is pretty minor, I agree. But now he is in Jail, our state dept is having to deal with him and our opponents, diverting their time to this. Worse yet he could have been captured by the Taliban and we would have had to rescue him putting real patriots in harms way. All of this aside, OBL is in Iran not Pakistan. |

| #4 In other news: CIA reviewing recruitment policies after denying having devised the plot or knowledge of the alleged assassin. "The CIA will neither confirm nor deny operational successes or failures of intangible and/or questionable assets engaged in the prosecution thereof." Also in other news: Patient missing from CA mental ward. |

| #1 I'd like to know how he got there. Where, btw, is "there"? A bus station in a small town? Miles from any building, out in the country? Second-rate airport? |
