But, has anyone tried this yet? I would like to know the results, and what was said if so.


most of the ones you find online are fake, but there have been a number of such interviews.

here's one i found in a quick google. bin laden and john miller, may 1998. pretty sure it's legit.

The funny thing is, by going and worrying about this, you are all doing exactly what the terrorists want you to do.

I'd disagree with that.  If it effects how I live my life, than you would be correct, but I'm not going to stay home tomorrow because of this.

Good point, but only to those who want to nuke 'em

But, not true to the people who want to just get rid of the terrorist, which I doubt will ever happen.

The point is that if you live in Baghdad, the chance is much higher.  I'm waiting for June 30.  The first Iraqi should be beheaded sometime around then and the terrorists will lose their support.

Check your facts in future.


Ahh, good to know. Thanks for the clarifications. I normally would have checked such things, but I was rushed at the time - sorry.

On the other hand, I wouldn't trust anything a site says that manages to weasel past Google's pop-up blocker and display 2 pop-ups. But their information is verified on other news sites, so I guess it's legit.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

In the context of what you were saying, your mistake was quite funny.

The remarks sandwich posted were never made, they're made up. He said similar things about Abu Nidal but that transcript up there never happened. Read the link I posted too, Oliver North himself issued a statement saying the transcript is bogus. :rolleyes:

Not nerve-gassing fallujah in response to this is what's supposed to make us better than them.  There shouldn't be a response at all, other than possibly capturing those responsible.  Anything else won't work short term or long term.

This is coming from the person who recommending nerve-gassing Fallujah when Nick Berg was executed.

Don't mistake this for me being sympathetic to the terrorist cells, unlike a few people around here who know who they are.

It is this which concerns me most of all, this simple fact that we unwittingly give these people carte blanche to be savages simply by expecting them to be. By deliberately fulfilling every American stereotype of 'Evil Arab' vocally and visually a relatively small number have people have almost managed to pit one half of the planet against the other.

That's my opinion at least, and as long as we judge terrorists any less harshly than we would judge the Americans then how can we say we are judging them equally?

What the hell has that got to do with anything? Talk away about Irish politics if you feel you're capable of it, which I seriously doubt.

Btw I presume you're talking about the North here, which is part of the UK:rolleyes:
