#1 And then, maybe, the real war on terror will start.

#2 However, why would Baitullah Mehsud bother. The American people might just turn out the scoundrels, crooks, and socialists themselves.

#3 I don't like this idea that Mehsud may replace Osama bin Laden. I like the fact that Osama rhymes with Obama. It keeps things in focus for me.

#4 Hmmmmm. I read that the Obamas are planning to pay for the White House renovations from their 'private' funds. Might want to put that project on hold for a bit.

#5 Mehsud has made voluminous threats against the West for years, as he rose to his current stature as the head of the Taliban in Pakistan, and he gave no apparent specifics in his threat on the U.S. capital on Tuesday, notes CBS News' Sami Yousafzai in Peshawar.

So that's all fine then.

#6 White House renovations? I'll have to PASS thank you.

#7 He will have to get permission from THE ONE first.

#8 Looks like quite a job for the Overseas Contingency Operation Against Man Caused Disasters.
Have Baitullah and the boys renamed Jihad yet? Because I find that "offensive"...

#9 If he is so happy to "embrace martyrdom" then why doesn't he take the first step. Simple, jumpf off a cliff; stand in front of a bus. Better yet, strap on a jacket with kabooms and detonate yourself prematurely.

#10 The way this administration is going, the American people might beat them to it..

#11 And you are sooooo right. It will take another big attack in the United States and then we will be all the way in Pakistan. Pakistan because that is where they all are hiding.

#13 Wait a minute. I thought that if Obama were elected, it would be all rainbows and unicorns. Where's our unicorns? WE WANT UNICORNS!

#15 Asked about it, he told the AP he would be happy to "embrace martyrdom."

Whenever someone like Pie Head talks the talk it’s always great PR with all the #2’s. But his real target audience for his vision of virgins’ rhetoric is the “Big Picture” guys. Remember, President Obama has said on numerous occasions that he “Doesn’t want to make martyrs” out of these guys.

#16 Hmmm. Threatening terror from Pakistan soil. Did you hear that Hussein O?

#17 #16 Hmmm. Threatening terror man-made disaster from Pakistan soil. Did you hear that Hussein O? and Janet F-ing Napolitano?

#18 CNN BLITZER "SITUATION ROOM" > Blitzy's femme Pert discounts MEHSUD's ability to directly attack WASHINGTON DC = USA, arguing that M. is mainly a REGIONAL-ONLY PLAYER [little or no International capability at this time].

OTOH, "REGIONAL-ONLY PLAYER" > THAT ARGUMENT WAS HOW THE 1990's CLINTON ADMIN LABELED OSAMA BIN LADEN + AL QAEDA [OKC, WTC 1, Africa, pre-9-11].
