Be careful, all you BigSoccer infidels. Al Qaida commander 'anticipates' 100,000 Americans dead in attack In regard to rumors about a large-scale attack against the U.S. during the month of Ramadan, Al-Hijazi said that "a huge and very courageous strike" will take place and that the number of infidels expected to be killed in this attack, according to primary estimates, exceeds 100,000. He added that he "anticipates, but will not swear, that the attack will happen during Ramadan." He further stated that the attack will be carried out in a way that will "amaze the world and turn Al Qaida into [an organization that] horrifies the world until the law of Allah is implemented, actually implemented, and not just in words, on His land... You wait and see that the balance of power between Al Qaida and its rivals will change, all of a sudden, Allah willing."
So, if we kick their asses back to prehistoric times (I would say dark ages, but they already live there), does that mean Allah willed it? And since they declare their bullsh1t a jihad, if they lose, does that mean Allah wasn't on their side? Because, I would want nothing more than for them to realize that their god hates them.

How'd you miss this one, Ian? http://tv.yahoo.com/news/wwn/20031110/106847640002.html Osama Recruits Cloned Hitler Monday November 10, 2003 OSAMA Bin Laden has enlisted Adolf Hitler's 46-year-old clone to help him mastermind and win the war on terror that began with the 9-11 terror attacks on New York and Washington and could result in another spectacular strike on the United States before the year is out. In a top-secret memo to President George W. Bush, CIA director George Tenet warned that the Nazi madman's clone "complements and amplifies Osama's own evil genius" and presents "a clear and present danger" to the United States, both at home and abroad.
100,000 Americans dead? OK, so now we know. Al-Qaeda is planning to open a chain of fast-food burger joints.
They anticipate 100,000 Americans dead? Geez, these idiots must use the same intelligence sources as George "We don't need a plan, they'll welcome us with roses" Bush.
Anybody still wondering why we're fucking around with Iraq and not pursuing criminals, perps and conspirators? Iraq is a waste of time; will it take another 9/11 for us to wake up? Seek justice, not opportunity.
Pretty much all the Paleocon "United Nations Troops in Black Helicopters are Fluoridating the Water Supply" sites had this article; but they've probably taken it down by now.
You and the liberals here predicted tens of thousands of body bags in Iraq before the war started. Perhaps you're using the same source, too?
The body bag prediction was from the Pentagon. They ordered the bags. Liberals predicted a long and difficult occupation. Liberals complained about an unethical premise for invasion.
From what I can gather from the voices on this thread, the liberal message to the American voter is this: "We don't take threats from terrorists seriously". See you in election 2004.
Turns out we were right. http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2003/s987547.htm Of course, I guess since they aren't Americans, they're less dead.
I was thinking about this very thing this morning. I've been staying with my gf out in Virginia (let's not talk about that) and I've been noticing a lot of Bush/Cheney '04 stickers on the huge SUVs that are rolling in from the distant burbs. It got me thinking about how they'd stack up against a Dean/Clark ticket. Would you rather vote for the Moron and the Pacemaker, or the Doctor and the General? Tough one isn't it. Sorry to hijack the thread, but any thread started by McCrackhead probably needs hijacking anyway.
Wrong as usual, Mr. Ian "72 hours" McCracken. I personally predicted a quick "hot war" with few U.S. casualties. I figured that since the Bush team had military professionals running the show, the shooting war itself would go very smoothly. Basing my guesses on GW1 and the fact that Saddam was even weaker militarily in 2002 than he was in 1991, I predicted Iraqi forces would last a week, maybe three if they bunkered in urban areas and fought to the last man. Tragically, the Bush team was even more incompetent than I thought, choosing to meddle in the war itself and go in with no plan beyond "Supplies? What supplies? Interpreters? Stop signs in Arabic? Who needs those? Of course they'll all welcome us with roses. What could possibly go wrong?". So not only did the war itself not go as well as I'd thought, Bush is mismanaging the peace as well. But have fun slurping down your Kool-Aid and trying to fellate your Dumbya "action figure". Bush better pray that either Saddam gets caught, the US suffers another terrorist attack, or that the jobless "recovery" somehow causes a sustained hiring boom. I don't think he can count on his brother and the S7 to hand him another Presidency next year otherwise.
