Come on, that's just stupid. AQ would
love to get their hands on some more of those "articulate Americans" who actually believe in the cause -
I mean, they're a PR
gold mine, right?
Sure - think about it. If you were going to try to penetrate AQ, that would certainly be the "low hanging fruit" in terms of your legend, right? Boy, I sure feel sorry for the Little Drummer Boy that has to somehow survive that one though (mentally, I mean) -
'Cause you know, they make you kill someone before they'll really trust you - that's kinda how it works, and I'm sure that's
certainly the way it works when it comes to Americans -
But yeah, kinda makes you wonder where Bushie's head is at, doesn't it? I mean, in my left hand, I hold a single individual and a "reasonable chance" of getting to the guy I want - and in my right hand, I hold a pipe dream and three billion dollars a week....
Hmm..... let's see..... right hand.... left hand.... right hand.... left hand.....
Left hand wins. Save the 3 billion a week, it ain't doing any good anyway. Go after the "head", if you get the guy at the top then it'll be an unmistakable victory and a symbol of superiority, and the radicals respond to that kind of thing - they respect power, and they respect strength. They're not (generally speaking) stupid enough to go up against something they know to be a brick wall.
But yeah - the issue for
this thread, is that the guy is a US citizen, right?
