		<description>&lt;strong&gt;8 STEPS NECESSARY TO RELEASE THE BLIND SHEIK&lt;/strong&gt;:

1) Drug his last meal before freeing him to the jihadis in Iraq.

2) Insert combination GPS and C4 (semtex) suppository DEEPLY during stupor.

3) Transport PERP to outskirts of Fallujah, etc. and let him go.

4) Track movements and keep eye-in-the-sky drone &amp; satellite cameras on target area.

5) When al-Qaeda leaders congregate to congratulate...

6) Press button to ignite C4 (semtex).

7) Open champagne. (&lt;em&gt;Pop!&lt;/em&gt;)

8) Release predator drone video to Al Jazeera and YouTube.</description>

		<description>This is something so simple I&#039;m unable to grasp why our military has not taken advantage of it.

The entire failure of our current operation is due to massive flows of enemy combatants eagerly charging into battle from the borders of Syria, Iran, and Pakistan.

How simple would it be for the military to fill every bullet with pigs blood and advertise it throughout the region.  

How many enemy combatants would be eager to charge to their death once the glory of paradise and 72 virgins is taken away and replaced with eternal damnation?

Am I missing something, or am I right that this would end the war in about eight seconds?</description>

		<description>This got me thinking: Are there any conditions under which a terrorist wouldn’t get what they wanted? Perhaps killing them in a manner that would ensure they wouldn’t go to Paradise?

Actually, yes there is!

Go buy yourself an &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.susbloodlabs.com/newproduct.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Infidel&#039;s Revenge Pen&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The Infidel&#039;s Revenge! is a powerful psychological deterrent to terror. When you carry and use your Infidel&#039;s Revenge Ball Point Pen, you are joining an elite group of citizens committed to ending global terror.  

Imagine the impact on the worldwide &quot;terror movement&quot; knowing that the possibility of eternal damnation is resident in every drawer, every purse, every pocket everywhere.  

This simple solution holds the promise of dramatically reducing, and even ending, suicide bombings.-Anatomy of a terror prevention pen.  Our patent pending terror prevention pen cartridge is encased in a double layered,  plastic cylinder filled with a mixture of glycerin, water and alcohol.  Atop the liquid cylinder is another sealed cylinder containing patent-pending powdered pig&#039;s blood and other ingredients that will stop would-be-terrorists in their tracks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If you kill them, they’re martyrs. If you lock them up, they’re martyrs. So kill them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, after doing whatever it is you need to do in order to extract information from them - whatever works.  THEN kill them.  But...

[EFG]
&lt;blockquote&gt;Hmmm. I know that I used to be very much against executing them because I figured it denied them what they wanted, which is martyrdom.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This got me thinking: Are there any conditions under which a terrorist &lt;i&gt;wouldn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; get what they wanted?  Perhaps killing them in a manner that would ensure they &lt;i&gt;wouldn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; go to Paradise?

Note here that we&#039;re not talking about *real* Paradise - because after all these terrorists are not &lt;i&gt;true&lt;/i&gt; Muslims, as we are reassured daily by spokespeople the world over - rather these are &lt;i&gt;fake&lt;/i&gt; Muslims, deluded fools who have &lt;i&gt;hijacked&lt;/i&gt; a great religion and twisted it beyond recognition, from Islam to non-Islam apparently; and therefore, they are clearly *not* destined for Paradise.  And praying five times a day, wearing beards and avoiding pork (and Jews) will not get them any closer to Paradise.  So the &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; question is then, how do we dissuade these loons from &lt;i&gt;thinking&lt;/i&gt; they&#039;ll make it to Paradise, so as to undercut the incentive?

I seem to recall a news article some years back about Israel considering hanging sides of pork on public buses (no joke!) because, as distasteful as that might be to kosherdom, it would provide an even greater deterrent to would-be suicide bombers.  The idea being, if you&#039;re splattered with pork fat on the way to Paradise, you don&#039;t make it.

I wondered at the time, and I&#039;m still wondering: could that possibly be true???  If so, then splattering a terrorist with pig parts during the act of our state-sponsored executions would automatically deflect him from martyrdom to non-martyrdom.  Easy and predictable as 1-2-3.  Could it really be that simple?

Not that that&#039;s what we&#039;re really doing; as I clarified above, on behalf of spokesmen everywhere, these aren&#039;t &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; Muslims we&#039;re talking about, they&#039;re fake ones; so really all we&#039;re doing is removing the *illusion* of making it to Paradise, so as to dissipate the propaganda value of the act to terrorist sympathizers.  (See?)

And since we&#039;re told that terrorists aren&#039;t true Muslims, then, how could any true Muslim possibly be offended by such a prospect?  Wouldn&#039;t they welcome it?  Indeed, they ought to saying &quot;serves them right, those apostates&quot; right along with us, no?  We could also make it clear that this punishment is reserved only for fake Muslims, not real ones; and if we witness a jailhouse conversion to &quot;true&quot; Islam (which includes rejecting terror and repentence for their sins in the name of Allah) before the death sentence is carried out, we would willingly and enthusiastically commute the death-by-pig parts sentence.

Let me emphasize that I&#039;m *not* suggesting anyone do this to a true, peace-loving Muslim - that would be beyond the pale, as our society respects all true religions - only to those who hijack the religion to wage war against innocent civilians.  Thankfully the terrorists&#039; in-your-face behavior makes it easy to distinguish a real Muslim from a fake one (or else I&#039;d be nervous about granting such ominous decision-making power to the state)...

And I&#039;m not necessarily advocating that we actually do it.  All I&#039;m asking is, how could anyone, least of all a true Muslim, be remotely offended by the suggestion?  Or [mis]construe it as an insult to &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; religion (which we are told the terrorists don&#039;t share)?  After all would a Muslim be offended if a Jew was splattered with the same pig parts on the way to his or her death?  Or a Christian?  Or a Hindu?  (Come on, be serious... ;-)</description>

<p>Yes, after doing whatever it is you need to do in order to extract information from them &#8211; whatever works.  THEN kill them.  But&#8230;</p>
<p>[EFG]</p>
<blockquote><p>Hmmm. I know that I used to be very much against executing them because I figured it denied them what they wanted, which is martyrdom.</p></blockquote>
<p>This got me thinking: Are there any conditions under which a terrorist <i>wouldn&#8217;t</i> get what they wanted?  Perhaps killing them in a manner that would ensure they <i>wouldn&#8217;t</i> go to Paradise?</p>
<p>Note here that we&#8217;re not talking about *real* Paradise &#8211; because after all these terrorists are not <i>true</i> Muslims, as we are reassured daily by spokespeople the world over &#8211; rather these are <i>fake</i> Muslims, deluded fools who have <i>hijacked</i> a great religion and twisted it beyond recognition, from Islam to non-Islam apparently; and therefore, they are clearly *not* destined for Paradise.  And praying five times a day, wearing beards and avoiding pork (and Jews) will not get them any closer to Paradise.  So the <i>real</i> question is then, how do we dissuade these loons from <i>thinking</i> they&#8217;ll make it to Paradise, so as to undercut the incentive?</p>
<p>I seem to recall a news article some years back about Israel considering hanging sides of pork on public buses (no joke!) because, as distasteful as that might be to kosherdom, it would provide an even greater deterrent to would-be suicide bombers.  The idea being, if you&#8217;re splattered with pork fat on the way to Paradise, you don&#8217;t make it.</p>
<p>I wondered at the time, and I&#8217;m still wondering: could that possibly be true???  If so, then splattering a terrorist with pig parts during the act of our state-sponsored executions would automatically deflect him from martyrdom to non-martyrdom.  Easy and predictable as 1-2-3.  Could it really be that simple?</p>
<p>Not that that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re really doing; as I clarified above, on behalf of spokesmen everywhere, these aren&#8217;t <i>real</i> Muslims we&#8217;re talking about, they&#8217;re fake ones; so really all we&#8217;re doing is removing the *illusion* of making it to Paradise, so as to dissipate the propaganda value of the act to terrorist sympathizers.  (See?)</p>
<p>And since we&#8217;re told that terrorists aren&#8217;t true Muslims, then, how could any true Muslim possibly be offended by such a prospect?  Wouldn&#8217;t they welcome it?  Indeed, they ought to saying &#8220;serves them right, those apostates&#8221; right along with us, no?  We could also make it clear that this punishment is reserved only for fake Muslims, not real ones; and if we witness a jailhouse conversion to &#8220;true&#8221; Islam (which includes rejecting terror and repentence for their sins in the name of Allah) before the death sentence is carried out, we would willingly and enthusiastically commute the death-by-pig parts sentence.</p>
<p>Let me emphasize that I&#8217;m *not* suggesting anyone do this to a true, peace-loving Muslim &#8211; that would be beyond the pale, as our society respects all true religions &#8211; only to those who hijack the religion to wage war against innocent civilians.  Thankfully the terrorists&#8217; in-your-face behavior makes it easy to distinguish a real Muslim from a fake one (or else I&#8217;d be nervous about granting such ominous decision-making power to the state)&#8230;</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m not necessarily advocating that we actually do it.  All I&#8217;m asking is, how could anyone, least of all a true Muslim, be remotely offended by the suggestion?  Or [mis]construe it as an insult to <i>their</i> religion (which we are told the terrorists don&#8217;t share)?  After all would a Muslim be offended if a Jew was splattered with the same pig parts on the way to his or her death?  Or a Christian?  Or a Hindu?  (Come on, be serious&#8230; ;-)</p>

		<description>Why don’t we secretly infect this blind sheikh with a terminal contagious disease and set him free. Preferably something that will kill him slowly and painfully, over the course of 5-6 months.  That should give us enough time to test Pelosi’s theory on the Golden Rule.  You know, if we’re nicey-nice to them they will stop with their bloodthirsty ways.

When, not if, her theory is exposed as pure stupidity after they kill a few more infidels in spite of our humanitarian release of the sheikh, we can &lt;strike&gt;ask Nancy for Plan B&lt;/strike&gt; tell Nancy to stfu with her insane ideas and sympathy for our enemies.   Then we can send a candy-gram to Omar Abdul Rahman, informing him of his pending doom and the slow painful death awaiting any other jihad brothers he came in contact with in the last few months.

It’s a win, win.  They’re gonna whack us anyway,  no matter what we do.</description>

		<description>Ah, vivid memories of that one-eyed cyclops from the streets of Jersey City. I recall after the first WTC attack, which Clinton did nothing to prevent in his five weeks in office, I practically had to walk the FBI over to his domicile.

Clinton, BTW, never visited the WTC after the 1993 attack. Didn&#039;t seem to bother him at all.</description>

		<description>EFG, 

Yes, but we gotta torture all the intel we can get out of &#039;em first. Once they&#039;re all used up, then go to Starblazer&#039;s idea of feeding them to sharks, film it and post it on their little jihadi websites.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If you kill them, they’re martyrs. If you lock them up, they’re martyrs. So kill them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hmmm.  I know that I used to be very much against executing them because I figured it denied them &lt;em&gt;what they wanted&lt;/em&gt;, which is martyrdom.  I was trying to see things through there eyes in order to understand how best to defeat them. (not any of that crappy-ass hippy &lt;em&gt;understand them&lt;/em&gt;, mind you.)

However, time and events have started to wear on that conclusion and I think I may have to re-think that earlier position of mine.

I certainly don&#039;t seem to have much objection to executing them any more, and what little is left is swiftly fading.

I don&#039;t think executing them will cause any of their fellow jihadi&#039;s to put aside their weapons.  But it certainly will spare us some of the problems that holding them causes, and prevent others from agitating and fighting for their release.

Bottom line, if executing them brings us closer to victory, then do it.  If not, then don&#039;t.</description>
