#1 Unfortunately, there are far too many nutcases in the Middle East that think exactly like this. They need to be rooted out and given a bath - preferably one in the deepest part of the Indian Ocean, with a hundred pounds of cement firmly anchored to their knees.

Whenever any religion espouses the use of force for conversion, and where the adherents follow such advice blindly, there are only two options: join, or kill them all. I will NOT become a Muslim.

#2 The old principle applies here: Speak softly and carry a big stick. Evidently, Abdullah Sultan al-Qahtani did not get the Iraq message. So he needs a personal message for him and his followers. You do not have to make any threats or statements. Just quietly do it, and then say, "Next?"

#4 Tell Abdullah to take a number and stand in the line over there, right at the spot with the taped 'X' on the floor. Something will be with him shortly.

#5 "We have prepared ourselves to break your backs, and pull your nails, and your teeth, so that after kicking you (the Americans and the Saudi Dynasty) from the Arabian Peninsula wretchedly, we would lead a prosperous life in our motherland, according to the rules of Islam,"

Steve Den Beste had a post a while back with a chronological listing of belligerent quotes from Islamists who were going to kick our ass. First the Taliban, then Sadaam and his 'elite" forces, then there was one that some Iranian mullahs made recently.
Similar pathology here. Rant, seethe, threaten and then get ground to dust by a nation that knows how to fight.

#6 In Vietnam we had a program called Phoenix which specialized in taking out VC leadership via assasination. It was quite effective until the press got hold of it and then, of course, the powers that be dropped it. Too icky for the idealists.
Could it be time to dust off the paperwork and start hunting for Mullahs? Maybe this time we can call it New York.

#7 TU3031...Yeah, take a few of them out with the Barrett .50 XM-107. Performance as noted today at Kim's site:

"My spotter positively identified a target at 1,400 meters carrying an RPG on a water tower. I engaged the target. The top half of the torso fell forward out of the tower and the lower portion remained in the tower." -- 325th PIR Sniper

#8 The IRA has a couple of those .50s if I recall correctly.
The assasination policy should be given a re-evaluation I think. But it won't happen because then every US lawmaker will have to travel by M1A1 to their place of work. Unless of course Hamas succeeds in "murdering" Sharon, then the precedent will be set and all gloves are off.

#9 If you start it you have to finish. Can't leave any strays, and you must keep up your momentum.
