Powell - Bin Laden - Iraq

Then he will be "justified" in his Jihad. I think the war would only be a drop in a bucket. Bin Laden doesn't need to prove anything to his adherers or other people who believe in what he says. For them, just the fact that the US (or any other western country, but US at the top) has economical interests in Muslim countries or even has troops down there in the Middle East is reason enough to fight against them. And thus to do what they think their religion demands them to do. :(( :mad:

I think Powell has been hanging around Bush too long and his brain is getting mushy. I hope he hasn't gone over to the dark side. He seemed like the only one that could be trusted. The rest of them will say anything to get their way. Not that they're always wrong, but things like that nonsense about the Al tubes and their refusal to stop repeating it just undermines their credibility.

I don't know why, I still have admiration for Powell. Kant wrote: Earlier Bin Laden also supported his cause for Muslims in Palestine and Kashmir A rumor also says Bin Laden is recording a tape to support France :rolleyes:

Why don't we just ask our fellow Iraqi software developers here on CP what they think about all this instead of speculating? Let's just have them post their opinion here and let them speak their mind! - Nitron

If Bin Laden had any brains, he would announce ties with Canada, then see what the US does !!!! Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Why not just bomb everybody and be done with it. Then no one feels left out. Oo ooh ooh, me first, me first!!! :-D

I can just see it now.... ring ring, ring ring... Saddam : "Hello, Saddam speaking?" Osama : "Hi Saddam, its Osama." Saddam : "Hi Osama, hows life in the cave?" Osama : "Not so bad, getting by. I was calling to reassert out commitment together." Saddam : "No problem, I just hope that this line is not tapped." Osama : "Me to, if it is then they may be able to trace me to this hotel in Vegas." Saddam : "Not to worry then. Say hello to Elvis for me." Osama : "Oh and one more thing, I've ropped Canada in as well."

Imagine what would happen... "In the name of god almighty. This is a message to our muslim brothers in the USA. With concern we watch the crusaders to yadda yadda yadda israel. Under these circumstances it is not bad when the interests of moslems and mormons meet to fight the crusaders. yadda yadda mormons still antichristallah. yadda. We yadda yadda martyr yadda [rep 10] Ready to be liberated from their government subservant to the republicans are the areas: Texas, Washington D.C., and New York. Yadda Yadda virgins yadda." Would Bush scratch his head a last time, and blow up himself like WIle E. Coyote? Would Runsfeld nuke utah? Would Powell turn into another Milo Minderbinder?

But then again, they fled for their lives to get away from him, so I'd be very puzzled if they did like him. :) -- "And God said, Let us make man in our image"

Somehow I don't think that would work out very well. :) -- "And God said, Let us make man in our image"
