#1 Retake Bangladesh? Why? It's all of two inches above sea level, everyone in the country hates the Urdu speakers, and it is just about the poorest place on earth.

Singing in the rain=good. Dancing in the rain=bad.

#4 Majeed Nizami said that the army should retake Bangladesh ...

How exactly will the army get from Pakland to Bangladesh -- as tourists? I can see it now:

"We would like to apply for visas, please."
"Visas? What's your purpose?"
"Um, ... tourism. Yes, that's it. We wish to see the many holy sites in the far east of your country."
"I see ... that's a mightly large stack of visa applications you have there."
"We're very pious. Can't you tell by our ~~large numbers of rifles~~ turbans?"
"I can imagine. Visas denied. Next!"

#5 Osama ever stood very far of the Russians and
his "fighting" consisted in handing money to jihadis but in Pakistan. His crossings of the border were rare, short and shallow. He deserves the title of great coward of Islam.

#6 Take back Bangladesh and for a free bonus, you get all the arsenic you can want in the well water.
