"Al-Qaida has a new leader. Experts are calling him a temporary leader — and so is SEAL Team 6. "

1. Has he actually done anything yet, or shall we just assassinate him for thought crimes?

[DFab420]

3. ?? Leave the innocent Al QAIDA leader ALONE!!

*sniff* I mean he hasn't even been mean yet! *sniff sniff*

:sarcasm:

6. Have you read Isaac Asimov's Foundation series?

I'm guessing you haven't.

[Bucky]

9. Oh, let me guess.... Harry Seldon predicted the rise of al-Qaeda?

[Electric Monk]

11. I'm guessing you haven't read it either, since you spelled his name wrong.

Found the link I was looking for.

17. The article is interesting. Your strident illogical thinking is not.

Anyway, I was under the impression that bin Laden didn't even call it "al-Qaeda" until after the US government started calling his organization that in the 90s

[Electric Monk]

18. Which part of what I've posted in this thread do you consider illogical?

Please elaborate.

10. Lulz, you mean his series about predicting future with math called pyshcohistory?

No never heard of it. But clearly this science fiction series totally supports your seemingly unfounded desire to not harm or judge the leader of a terrorist organization.


If you like using science fiction to support real life ideals, there is this series called Dyanetics, by the author L. something, it's a big hoot in hollywood right now.

12. Releasing tapes from the grave. Planning far in advance. See above. nt

[Scuba]

5. The plan is to stop as soon as it's just....

....us and the Canadians, assuming of course, they've been completely assimilated.

[Bucky]

7. Good point. I agree al-Qaeda would be conscientious enough to hire a guy with a clean record.

Did I spell conscientious right?

[emulatorloo]

13. LOL n/t

[Electric Monk]

15. So what has he done that's worthy of extrajudicial assassination?

Honest question.

[Electric Monk]

21. bumping for bucky

2. So if they have a new leader, will we be killing them next?

If so then, are you just going to kill their leaders every time they get a new leader. No trial, just whack them?

And

If not, then why aren't we going to kill their new leader? I thought we were going to be serious about terror.

[emulatorloo]

14. Dunno, ask David Letterman, it is his joke n/t

[L0oniX]

4. off to the greatist

8. And so is Seal Team 6 -- a Disney-registered trademark.

Hey, has Al Qaida thought of registering its name as a trademark -- and maybe selling it to Disney?

;-)

[Electric Monk]

16. They would owe royalties to Isaac Asimov's estate. See above.

[AsahinaKimi]

19. I wonder how the Seal Team feels now that they have

been trademarked by a Micky Mouse Organization?
