#1 Well if the royal family was with him then they were enemy and thus a legitimate target.

#2 "Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said."

Gee, and he says that like it's a bad thing....

A friend of mine, even more ~~bloodthirsty~~ creative than I am (yes, as bad as that), suggests that we could take a long step toward solving the terror problem by rounding up the the males of Soddy royal family and publicly crucifying them at 50 yard intervals along the Mecca-Medina highway.
The peninsula's minor brigands, like the UAE royals, could be thrown in as a bonus.
We could hold a triumphal procession down Pennsylvania Avenue when it's over.
The climax would be a celebratory sporting event in RFK Stadium, where captured terrorists would be forced to fight to the death or, alternatively, fed to the White House's new pride of ceremonial lions.

Hey, it worked for the Romans, and we could get billions for the TV rights.

#3 AC - LOL! Across the board, bravo! I especially like the "pride of ceremonial lions" - very nice touch!

#4 You guys are blood thirsty. All I want is a rebuilding of the hanging gardens of Babylon.

#6 Actually, I'm all for ending the lives of all the members of all the "royal families" in the Middle East - after all, they're just a bunch of over-rated camel-herders with an attitude problem. I just think it'd be too risky for our guys to hang 'em too closely to the glowing radioactive holes I hope Mecca and Medina become after the next terrorist attack against the United States. I also have the solution to the "imam" problem: feed them to the sharks (if they'll eat them - there's the same problem with feeding trial lawyers to sharks - that "professional courtesy" thing). Who knows, shark trolling may become big business in the Middle East...
