#1 The American al Qaeda, Adam Gadahn, was spotted last month in a remote area of Pakistan but moved before he could be captured

Who wants him captured?

#2 No surprise all Al Qaeda/Taliban can be found in Pakistan.

Look forward to the day we can carpet bomb Waziristan/Quetta

#3 no extradition if he's captured. Pliars and panties, then a shallow anonymous grave

#4 He'd look a lot better with a .50 cal hole where most of his head used to be.

#5 A native of Orange County, CA. No surprise there. San Andreas, why do you not hear my prayers and exhortations? Why have you not move to Pacificize the infidels?

On the bright side:

#6 "spotted last month in a remote area of Pakistan but moved before he could be captured"
Translation: He pays the bribes.

"one of the areas where Pakistani soldiers have been ordered to stay in their barracks"
Translation: Using soldiers as human shields to keep us from glassing over the place.

I've got twenty bucks that says some day we will learn that alQaeda bigwigs live within five miles of the barracks. Maybe even inside the barracks.

#7 Whaddabout DC?

I-395 is shutdown right outside my office for a shooting (?) investigation. I think I saw a guy in white robes and a turban fleeing the scene.

More Al-Q probing, in preparation for the big one Binny warned us about.

Convert now!

The freeway really is shut down, however.

#8 Just dispatch a fire team and dispose of this mug, please.

#9 I think I saw a guy in white robes and a turban fleeing the scene.

You say he ducked into Marlow furniture? Ok, fine.....but can you be a bit more specific? That could be any one of 20,000 cab drivers from Quantico to Washington National.

#10 His hair looks freshly shampooed and brushed, but look at that pathetic attempt at facial hair, the overplucked "unibrow", and the spots covered with tinted Clearasil. He looks like an unjustifiably smug schoolboy playing at being Baaaaad. Which, I suspect, is all they are really letting him do.

#11 TW, you mean kneeling down singing baaaaa.
He's got another job in the service industry.

#12 Well he's certainly got the sheets for it.
That is an old picture. In his big video a couple of weeks ago, he was fat, swathed in sheets and had a nice big bushy beard.

#13 I think that's his high school graduation picture. "Rock on...INFIDEL!"
I hope the next pic we see of him, there won't be anything left from the nose up...

#14 I most certainly do not, wxjames. There are a great many things I prefer not to think about beyond academic generalities.

#15 Since he reports to # 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri, does that make him a #3, and thus eligible for being hit??

#16 A native of Orange County, CA. No surprise there. San Andreas, why do you not hear my prayers and exhortations? Why have you not move to Pacificize the infidels?

Actually, Orange County is the most conservative area of California, and I don't mean RINO style conservative, I mean Goldwater/Ronald Reagan Conservative. Credit the Santa Ana (now Orange County) Register, a conservative newspaper that always had fun shafting the pretensious editorializing of the Los Angeles Times up north.

I should know: I grew up in OC and read the Register every day. Think Rantburg in print.

My guess is that the county is not squeaky clean of liberals: the vote was about 80% republican, so 20% of the voters are liberals, one of whom probably had a kid who, in righteous indignation against the oppressive and vast Right Wing Conspiracy, elected to join al Qaeda. The vast majority of sane people make the nuts more nutty, I suppose...

#17 Ilive in OC as well, and this is not Johnny Jihads Marin County. This is more like Marine county. There are so many former-Marine judges and lawyers here, the Register once called it, lovingly, the Marine Corps Mafia.

#18 our neighbor to the north of my San Diego (Orange County) has nothing to apologize for, your blanket condemnations of CA as a land of fruit and nuts pisses me off. The Bay area, Santa Cruz, LA/Santa Monica, maybe, but the interior and the south coastal are strongly red and support our military. I'd demand an apology if I cared enough about the stupid knee-jerk jokes. Remember that the next time you rap the entire state. The state is damn near as big as any three or four combined of those condemning. F*ck it :-(

#19 Too many hard landings, Frank.

#20 I used to live in OC from 1984 to 99. Towards the end, I was dismayed that the LA infection seemed to be spreading down the Santa Ana freeway.
