#1 Al Qaeda may be anointing new, younger leaders to carry on his cause

So are they baby-boomers?

#2 Not to mention that this war-mongering Administration has probably increased the number of Al Qaeda recruits by 400%

#3 So then, shall we capitulate, NotMike? Oh my, 400% more AQ! Run away! Run away!

#4 NMM would you care to enlighten us on the methodology used to reach the 400% figure?

#5 NMM

And that is bad how?
Looks like the perfect chance to kick quite a lot of jihadi-DNA out of the gene-pool.

#6 They would hate us anyway and what's not to say recruitment would not go up either way. When dealing w/a culture of their mentality you fight them w/that mentality, that's all they know or respect. They do not aspire to western ideals of freedom, individual rights, or enlightenment. They mistake kindness for weakness. Let them increase 10 fold for all I care, and let's keep destroying them. Too many touchy feely pussies trying to put a band aid on this when the problem rates a hand-grenade enema.

#7 Second generation is always dumber and sloppier and fails to inspire a third generation. First you get Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, then you get posers like Poison and Whitesnake. Third time you get 'piss-off, blokes' and something new like Sex Pistols.

#8 
What you see in Iraq is much more disparate.... They will form alliances with whoever is adopting their cause - even secular alliances with Baathist forces - and they will split apart afterward.

They'll have a huge problem with infiltrators, turncoats and heretics.

#9 Henry, nice Zeppelin/Sabbath tie-in. Though a cock-rocker like myself would say that Beatles/Stones as first gen just prior to Zep (w/overlap of course) and Van Halen (w/DLR not Hagar) was good third gen. Poison/WSnake - actually decent musicians caught in a bad fashion era easily mocked by today's trendies who prolly had their albums as 10 yr old kids but deny it today. I.E. - how did they sell & all the other hair bands sell millions of albums and yet no one admits to having one?

#10 Better to kick the base boards and see if the roaches scurry,and easier to kill,NMM.

#11 Q: Why do Jihadis hate us?
A: Because we are not them.

#12 #7 & #9 didn't understand a word either of you wrote, but I like #7's handle: Henry E. Panky. Rock I don't dig, but hanky-panky I do understand. LOL

Not a problem. It simply means that 400% more jihadis can be dispatched. My choice for taking the added riffraff out would be a "Spooky" experience.
