My one 9/11 wish.

Would be that the very last thing Osama bin-Laden hears on this Earth is "Rangers Lead The Way, Muthafucka!"

Sorry if this puts anyone off, but it's how I think. I want him dead, shot down like a dog. Buried face-down with his feet pointing towards Mecca. Make sure a chaplain is there to give him a good Christian service.

Either that or have him marched down 5th Avenue in chains as New Yorkers get to pelt him with garbage (pork encouraged!)

Six years. We still hurt, but we're still here.

and put a slice of bacon in his mouth before he's shot

How many people dead now, civilian and soldier? And do we have the bastard behind it all? Not even close. The thought makes my blood boil.

Far from putting me off, hon, but I'm sure you knew that... In fact, I'm hoping to be able to help make it happen, even if the wording of the message is slightly different. ;)

Some folks would be surprised that I agree.

I think we fucked up from the the beginning.

We should have declared blood oath. Pick a term that makes it personal in the local cultures. "You killed our friends and family, we're gonna get you."

Then we should have dropped a couple of dozen special ops teams in Afghanistan with the sole mission "Get him!"

Followed up with a couple of thousand support troops. More supply line, then combat.

Then come the diplomats with the checkbooks.

2 months tops. We would have had him and the respect of the world. And every other would be terrorist would be shaking in his boots that if they did anything, they would be next.

Actually, I can see reasons to do it a bit differently. Catch him alive, if possible.

Then arrange for a "friendly" Islamic *religious* court to try him and convict him. After all, contrary to what the revolutionary Mullahs say, what he did is *very* much against Islamic law.

Having him beheaded (or whatever the prescribed method of execution is) on live TV on the networks would send a message.

That's asking a lot , I would settle for the "phit" of a sniper round hitting home or the "wump" of an exploding bomb right beside him.
