#1 WOOHOO!
Sign Numero Uno that we're getting to the rat bastard!
USA! USA! USA!
(And so much for that whine from the Left that Iraq's "not connected with the 9/11 attacks or the WOT!")

#2 $136,000? That's all you can come up with?

Cheapskate.

#4 So martyrdom and the glory of Allah does not seem to be so marketable as they used to be. That is good. We are making some headway.

Also Kofi is on Binny's sh-t list. Well Kofi! Congradulations! Come over to the White House and have some coffee with GWB. We all have something significant in common now. We have 10 kilogram gold prices on our heads. Oh, the imagery!

#5 You know you're pathetic when the reward for your death is the same as a UN bureaucrat...

#6 Only $136,000? That's cause the rest of Osama's fortune is buried by bunker-busters in Afghanistan.

Of course if these folks don't understand money, so we are told, then why is OBL making such an offer? I guess they are listening to our "propoganda" broadcasts, and have learned what money is.

If so, they are going to laugh at OBL, and take us up on the $50,000,000 for his head.

#7 rewards will be given as soon as conditions permit, God willing

A built-in 'out' from paying if ever I heard one.

#8 I'm offering up $50 for Kofi's nuts in a plastic bag. Him and the rest of the worthless UN-a-crats.

#9 $136,000 thousand in grams of gold. Why not $140.000? $150.000? There must be some sick lunar reasoning behind this set figure of numbers by 'ULB' (if this is not another phoney statement)

What will ULB do, hold a press conference for the payoff? What a lot of baloney from terrorist losers!

#10 The question is, assuming the target gets blown away, how someone collects on an offer like this. How does one get paid by bin Laden if you don't know where to find him? Especially when looking for him could bring unwanted attention upon the seekers?

#11 LC Matthew, I wouldn't go a penney over $1.00 on that.

#12 Inquiring minds want to know, for the 500 gram offer, is it limited to nationals in Iraq or does it extend to nationals in their own country? Are the Spanish included until June 30? Is there a sweetner for Zippy? Are there quantity discounts? Is payment fob Pakistan?

#13 "The United Nations is nothing but a Zionists' tool." Hmm, I hadn't noticed that myself.

The statement promised a lesser prize â 1,000 grams of gold â to anyone killing a citizen of countries it called "the masters of the veto like Americans and Britons" â a reference to nations with veto power on the U.N. Security Council.

Lessee, (1) Kofi needs a cap in his ass because the UN is a Zionist tool that must be stopped, and (2) countries that interfere with the UN by vetoing its actions are Zionist tools that must be stopped. Sensible, persuasive, and logical--clearly this is the will of Allan.

#15 Let's see....we offer millions for his sorry ass, and all he can counter with is $136K?
Guess that family fortune ain't what it used to be.

#16 The statement also promised the same reward for the deaths of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) and his envoy to Iraq, Lakhdar Brahimi.

The ol' secretary general can't catch a break. Everybody wants a piece of his behind.

#17 HAHA. It's devolved to this:

He USED to appeal to allah, etc., to get his unwashed masses (and I DO MEAN "unwashed!") to do his dirtywork. Now he has to resort to a few bucks! Hilarious!

And the irony is, he'll probably get more takers for $136K than for those skanky virgins in the hereafter!

#18 I thought al Qaeda had nothing to do with Iraq. I guess we were all wrong.

#19 This may come to blows when Zawahiri figures out that UBL is dipping into his buddy's Roth IRA to jack up the bounty.
