#1 Good on refusing the surrender. I thought that the highest calling of a jihadi was to become a martyr?

#4 I would seem that leaders and clerics don't make suitable martyrs. Only nameless, homeless, cannon fodder.
In fact, can you think of a single cleric that has martyred himself?

#6 Don't these clowns know shark bait when they see it?

National News Agency has reported that the alleged terrorist leader Chahine Chahine, has renewed his offer to surrender in return for a pledge that he would not receive the capital punishment.

"Please don't kill me! ... Kill all my minions but not me!"

#7 I don't know. Maybe they should accept his surrender.

Don't give him the death sentance. Give him life...........on a 10'x10' raft, set just outside Australias territorial waters.

Then make sure that no one gets near him.

#8 maybe encircle the camp with a bunch of old DC-3s and run the engines at idle: the rotten corspes' fragrance may be enough to drive the remaining militants out; or maybe cause terminal vomiting......

#11 Way back when an invading army would go to a lot of trouble to heave dead horse corpses and bodies back over city walls to drive defenders out of a city. Doesn't the Lebanese army know how to use this? They should cordon off the area, kick back and have a beer. The bad guys will come out after a while. That smell is hideous.

#12 They should cordon off the area, kick back and have a beer.

Except that beers are un-Islamic. Otherwise, everything you suggest is perfectly all right.
