#1 There is only 1 exit strategy for that guy.

#2 Yep, Boss. The trapdoor on the gallows.

#3 I agree with the theory that Adam Gadahn wrote the speech. Of all the lefties in the world who would love to hang with Binny, he chooses an ex goatherd. That's a skill set he understands.

#4 I believe the speech was a fake.

#5 He died years ago. They're cutting and pasting bits to make new tapes. And hanging is too good for jihadis. The execution should be bacon enhanced flamethrowers.

Mmmmm, bacon. [drool]

Nope, too quick and painless. I'm thinking something out of a scene from Braveheart, i.e., public disembowelment, would be much more appropriate. Since he's not an American, the "cruel and unusual punishments" prohibition doesn't apply. But that's just me.

#7 My hunch is the audio is probably Bin Laden, that someone wrote it for him because he hoped the American would be better tuned to influencing the US public. I believe the video is an old one, and it freezes just as he talks about modern stuff so that the audio doesn't have to sync and we don't ahve to see the damaged old thing that is Bin Laden these days because it would hurt Jihadi morale.

#8 plus jabs about taxes ...

Looking at the standard of living of the average muslim country vs. that of infidel taxpayers, I'd rather pay taxes. That way I get roads and stuff like that.

... and the inefficacy of the Democrats

Hey, even Hitler wasn't all bad, but he still had to go. But that doesn't mean he has to go right away . . . :-)

And last but not least: My idea for taking care of him would be to give him a sex change operation and an enormous set of hooters and release him back into Taliban society. At 6'5" he ought to get all kinds of unwanted attention.

#9 I am conflicted between the following exit strategies for Binny..

1) Drawing and Quartering with slow oxen
2) Keelhauling in chummed waters until eaten
3) dipped in honey and wrapped in wet leather then placed in the Kalahari desert next to an anthill.
4) placed in the polar bear exhibit at some zoo.

#10 The man I know from the anti-Soviet Afghan War will fight to the end - there is no broad/general exit strategy, nor intent for one, for Osama except Islamist victory or his death. Likely more Correct to say or argue that, with Radical Islam losing the GWOT at the moment, that the Islamists intend to buy time to rebuild by "pushing" for geopol confusion and multi-polar/later mil confrontation among the great powers.* RADICAL MULLAHS > REGIONAL-GLOBAL WARFARE AND MUTUAL DESTRUCTION IS TO ISLAM'S = ISLAMISM'S ADVANTAGE.
