Europe moves up to #1 on Bin Laden's Hit List

[SIG220]

_____________________________ __________________________


It turns out that Osama Bin Laden says in his latest audio that the recent republishing of the Mohammed cartoons in Europe is an even more immoral act than America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are.

Consequently, he says that Europeans now face "a severe reckoning".

You bad, bad Europeans.   It now appears that you are NEXT!!!

Maybe this will mean more European troops in A-stan and Iraq.

[Nilsen]

no

[SIG220]

no

You are probably right, since Spain pulled out of Iraq shortly after they had their rail system bombed by Al Qaeda.

Although only 191 people died in those bomb attacks.   

If Al Qaeda instead managed to kill thousands of people in Europe, though, would not some Europeans then get angry, and want revenge?

It is really difficult for me to be able to judge how that would play out.

Perhaps in Afghanistan but why should there be any European troops in Iraq? Looking out for GWB's WMDs?

[Nilsen]

Well it does depend on what he does. Personally i think he is dead, but if he isnt, or if those who pretend to be him does something really massive it will get a response of some sort. I think the response will be something in the order of another EU directive and increased security.

We are sending some helicopters, more special forces and some additional troops to Afghanistan but that has been planned since october or november.

I hope, for Europe's sake, that they counter any terrorist plans before they do any damage.

[Dowding]

I think you'll find Europeans are already fighting... and dying... in Afghanistan, thanks.

France and Germany should have combat troops in Afghanistan, like the British. I wouldn't expect them to deploy in Iraq since they have always been against it (which they are more than entitled to do - it is a US/UK creation afterall), but a Taleban Afghanistan is a threat to them as much as anyone.

I'll let someone else say it.
LOL

[storch]

europe has always been a target for middle eastern terrorism.  this is not new nor is it news

[Shuckins]

I'll agree with Nilsen on one thing.....I think Ben Laden is dead.  There hasn't been a new video of him in over four years, just "audios."

He was a man who couldn't resist tweaking the noses of his enemies on a video, and varifying the fact that he was still alive and that they couldn't touch him.  If he were still alive, his smirking visage would be goading us from new videos on a regular basis.

It ain't happenin'.  He either died of natural causes (He wasn't in the best of health to begin with.), or one of our bunker-buster bombs atomized him in one of his little cave hidey-holes.

Ben Laden has not made a new video since before tora bora, maybe his camcorder batteries are dead?

[Fishu]

Bring it on, I say. Perhaps the fantasy of multiculturalism would finally come to an end, especially on the terms of muslims.
