Out of curiosity, since I stopped following the news a bit back- anything actually happen with al Quaeda, like finding more guys or actually catching bin Laden or anything? And what the **** happened with that anthrax thing- they just give up looking?

I think I musta missed something, 'cos there's plenty about Iraq right now, but al Quaeda's dissapeared completely. Hell, I haven't even heard the name since the State of the Union.




And I'm just asking a question, so no dumbass arguments. We've all heard most everyone here pontificate on the topic before, we don't need more of the same.

Bomb Afghanistan - Check

blow up/imprison al qaeda - Check

Kill Osama - Meh

*Kill Osama turns into Hussein is harbouring Osama turns into try killing Hussein*

Anthrax? I don't think there was actually ever any anthrax other than at some lab in Georgia, although there are news reports of moronic disgruntled ladies sending powdered sugar marked anthrax to their boses everyday.

We're going through a new Terrorist Threat Color Level Phase at the moment - which I may add is the most complete piece of bull**** I've heard of in the last month.

I think we're at Threat Level Burnt Sienna or Opal or something. Sandy maroon or something being lowest, red being highest...

I was referring to the mail anthrax a while back. People started getting panicky, so the Postal Service did all sorts of bull**** gestures to try to detect anthrax in the mail, and that was the last I ever heard of it. Nobody identified, no news on whether it was still going on or not, nothing.

Saddam supposed to be harboring bin Laden? But after the thing in Afghanistan they said he's escaped into Pakistan! How'd he get into Iraq? Any evidence or something? This is news to me.

[Knight Templar]

Yeah, I don't think they ever found much anthrax in the mail. I don't remember hearing too many confirmed reports..

As far as Bin Laden and Sadam, I can't give any evidence to back that up, but I think they got in a fight or something. Bin Laden alledgedly released some tapes last week talking trash about Sadam, telling his Muslim bro's to rise against Sadam and Unify against the American Devils.

And another thread spiraling down into its grave.  Did you not get Shrike's point?

[Stryke 9]

Oh, boy, you again. Look, I'm merely getting up to speed. You wanna sit around and make fatuous remarks until you turn this into a flamewar, piss off. There are plenty of other places you can be irritating. Or answer the questions, let the thread serve its purpose and go away. Simple as that.

[Falcon X]

Flame?   I just mearly said this is going to end up somewhere.  You don't have to get personal chief.  And if you do want to come on over to Warpstorm.  

What's new with Al Qaeda?  Notta.  Nothing.  Zippo.

[Knight Templar]

There's nothing wrong with this thread, other than being reminded of world events yet again.

Bassically Al Qaeda is what you saw in that Gunship Video.

Yup.  That's them planning... go take a look at old pictures of the Cole or 9/11 to see them in action.

[Stryke 9]

Yes, but all 3 of those are old. I'm talking about now. I already know enough about before, I was ****ing there, just like everyone else. Post-Afghanistan, the both of yas!

[Knight Templar]

post Afghanistan would be...

Camp X-Ray




 in sunny Cuba.

[Stryke 9]

Ah. So we've won the war on terror! No need to bother Iraq! We can have our basic freedoms back! Yay!

[Falcon X]

When were they taken away?  Besides certain paranoia about them.

[Stryke 9]

How 'bout when people started getting arrested without warrant, trial, or probable cause?

[Turnsky]

you have a point there... doesn't  that come under BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS?!

[Falcon X]

When has that happened to U.S citizens chief?

[Stryke 9]

Aight, someone else track down an article this time. I can't find any news at all right now, and I'm not gonna look more than 5 minutes for a political thread.

Not sitting on chairs comes under BASIC CHAIR RIGHTS! Why are they not getting them? Evil!!

[Stryke 9]

If chairs want rights, they're gonna hafta start making noise and get their own damn rights, just like we did. Or at least display a flicker of evidence that they'd care either way. Until then, my ass is comfortable where it is.

[CP5670]

but it is chair rights! if humans have rights then it is not fair to the chairs! it's discrimination I tell ya!



You are right that the people must make their rights if they want anything, but we never did because it is quite impossible in today's age and has been so for a while.
