I doubt he's going to be leader much longer. If one considers Al-Queda like any other organization, out with the old, in with the new. I expect a new "leader" to be captured within five years. Right after Starcraft II comes out.
Quick, zerg rush and capture the leader!Quote:

I expect this'll be used a hefty piece of propaganda for the Republican Party, though - further 'proof' of how they've beaten terrorism, brought peace and freedom to Iraq, and why McCain absolutely must win the election.
Exactly. The use 9/11 as a scare tactic for going to war, reelection, and other things to benefit their administration, when in the first place they practically did nothing to stop 9/11.Quote:
