Beerball Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Would that be the wrong thing to do? Maybe we offer them $X in flood relief aid, but $XXXX additional if bin Laden is brought in. All very hush hush behind the scenes of course.

All very hush hush behind the scenes of course. Works for me. But it'll never happen. The Pakistanis are corrupt and I for one think we should make ALL aid contingent upon their absolute cooperation.

All very hush hush behind the scenes of course. Sometimes I think that's the last thing we want, Al-Qaeda doesn't do very much and gives us justification to send our military all over central Asia, the middle east, and Africa, why would you want to give up a card like that.
DC Tom Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Aside from being completely counter-productive, you mean?

Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I can see it now. This is my brother Akmed...errrr I mean Osama. Give me my bazillion dollars.
Adam Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 At this point, what would getting him even accomplish? It would have little effect on Al Quaeda
DC Tom Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 At this point, what would getting him even accomplish? It would have little effect on Al Quaeda It'd make him a martyr. That would have a significant impact on al Qaeda...although probably not the one we want.
drnykterstein Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I pictured Bin Laden's bloated corps floating into Pakistan over the flood waters with a big aid package tied to it.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I pictured Bin Laden's bloated corps floating into Pakistan over the flood waters with a big aid package tied to it. Who would fish the corpse out of the water? The Marine Corps?

DC Tom Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 has there been any evidence recently that Bin Laden is alive? has there been any evidence recently that he's dead? So he's living in Schroedinger's cave or something?
X. Benedict Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 So he's living in Schroedinger's cave or something? Brilliant. of course that cave would need a dialysis machine...wouldn't it?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Brilliant. of course that cave would need a dialysis machine...wouldn't it? Not for nothing, but everyone's favorite terrorists constantly put out supposed tapes of fatwas issued by OBL. If you ask me, I'm not sure he is alive. But I'm not sure that it matters, either.

If you ask me, I'm not sure he is alive. But I'm not sure that it matters, either. I dunno...I figure he got capped a while back like Tupac and just like Tupac, he's recorded enough material to last 15-20 years and a few double albums as well.
