in Pakistan and not against the United States. Words matter, and I think the election of Obama and his reaching out is starting to pay off, in just confidence by the people themselves. We are not looking like the enemy so much any more, and they can see the horrors of the al qaeda movement.

Corporations losing money to Somalia piracy, which they caused by dumping Christ knows what in the surrounding waters. Must find a way to get rid of the pirates..... Hey... let's turn them into the latest chapter of THE WORLD'S SCARIEST FICTIONAL FUCKING TERRORIST ORGANIZATION..

Geezus... people still buy this crap?

That's actually why they are so well funded. All that ransom money from previous deals adds up.

Maybe AQ has to recruit some new #2 Leaders to replace the ones we "won" the war in Iraq by killing.

under their own prerogative, rather than simply being forced by the American government to do it.
