#1 When trying to envision a small mobile terror training camp, I keep thinking of the Chevy that our local Sniper, John Muhammed used to train his "ward."

But a Caprice is not quite right. I think you'd need a little more ground clearance with the roads being the way they are in the back woods of Afganistan.

#2 After the training ended, the graduates visited the southern Afghanistan graves of Taliban and al-Qaida members killed in a 2001 battle with U.S. forces as the hardline Islamic regime was collapsing, Wardak said. They prayed for success in attacks on Americans.

I heard that this had become some kind of a shrine.

Do I really have to state the obvious here?

#4 I think we do. In fact, I think it's our duty to the entire Muslim world to make lots of them!

#6 We need to booby-trap them. Emphasis on booby.

#7 Immediately after the Bush government pressured the Northern Alliance to sign an armistice agreement with the Kandahar Taliban, local jihadis used the protections of that Magna Carta to the end of establishing shrines to Arab terrorists, who were buried in Kandahar's "Loya Wala" graveyard. During WW2 the allies adopted an "unconditional surrender" policy so that Nazi remnants would lose all power once the war ended. It is pure folly to indulge jihadism, in a country whose former leaders facilitated the murder of over 3,000 Americans.

#8 Mine the shrines, put up signs saying "Take a shortcut to paradise, pray here."
