On the other hand, the stock market dipped on the news.

If we are willing to talk, it shows what a big man he is. If we are unwilling to talk, he now has to do something to show he is a big man. I assume, however, that if he were serious he wouldn't have done this with a public announcement but instead with a private approach. It's all showmanship.

If you take him on directly like this, it just builds him up. If you can't deliver a knock-out blow, you will be diminished. I recommend a private approach rather than a public one like this.

I agree with that. And when we catch him, we should have the Pakis send him to us on their finest flying pig, with Edward R. Murrow interviewing him the whole way.

Just like that great Tom Hanks movie... You know, the one where he becomes all feral living in a Sbarro restroom...

Uh, how's "chickenshits."

I watch CNN Europe all the time for laughs. They're a fucking joke. The whole damned continent is so utterly unprepared for any conflict. I blame us. We took their balls away from them after WWII.

Whatever, they're irrelevant in every regard, except as a place for me to spend some cash on vacation. Next.

And will someone tell the fucking Eurotrash on the telly over there to stop wearing their knots so fat. They're fancy enough without that shiite.

The election in Spain was three days after an attack, not a video suggesting truce. And the ultimately defeated incumbant fucked up majorly by blaming the Basques immediately after the attack wasting a lot of time and pissing off the populace.

Considering that the Basques like to blow people up, it wasn't that much of a stretch.

It wasn't just the vote. Spain pulled out of Iraq, a condition to the truce. He offered, they accepted - no bombings since.

I think he would accept a truce with the US, because we've been seriously disrupting his MOJO over the last few years.* However, this is not to say that he's not still capable of launching a horrific attack on us.

*Assuming he's still alive.
