Bin Laden Reward Might Double to $50 Million
 

The State Department is considering doubling the reward from $25 to $50 Million for the capturing of Bin Laden. A final decision will be made by the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The program's purpose is to prevent acts of terrorism against U.S.

Printed ads in Urdu and Pashto languages are being distributed on newspapers in Pakistan. The newspaper features photos and reward amount for Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and other Al Queda leaders. Radio ads are being finalized to be released in 10 days.

Congress hopes that as the reward for Osama Bin Laden increases the chances of catching him do too. It is assumed Bin Laden is still hiding somewhere along the Afganishtan-Pakistan border, but there have been no signs of him in the past 20 months.

  Most of the muslim world?  
 
I thought only a small percentage of muslims were the blood thirsty suicide bomber kill the infidels type. Which is it?

Its not like that, they are probably scared to speak out from each other.
 
 by: b4u     01/25/2005 03:58 AM     
  Oh, no  
 
couldn't do it for $25 million. FIFTY million?! - ok this is where he is...

Yeah right. Who is going to do it for 50 mill who wouldn't do it for 25? Sounds like someone wants to be seen to do something. Is more dirt about to come out?

  No sign in 20 months?  
 
Didn't he appeared in a video right before the elections? I heard many news reports claiming that he spoke of current events and that it was a clear proof that he was still alive.

Anyhow I doubt the reward would do anything. I agree with B4U in that they are scared to talk. Besides Bin Laden is supposed to be a billionaire... he can pay way over that.

  Does it matter?  
 
The guy that told troops where Saddam was hiding, nor the troops that captured him, have gotten any of the, 10 million dollars?, that was promised to whoever captured him, or had info that lead to the capture.

But, like what people have already said, who would do it for 50 mil, that wouldn't do it for 25 mil?

No Text. None. Absolutely nada.

  Why Bin Laden?  
 
Hasn't it been constantly reported, aside from the recent video, that Bin Laden hasn't been heard from and they more or less totally lost track of him? That he's no longer as able as he once was and not controlling al-Qaeda as much either? So why raise the reward on Bin Laden? Why not al-Zarqawi first? Afterall, he's the much more active mastermind right now, causing way more destruction and fatalities in Iraq than Bin Laden is wherever he might be. Maybe they think/know that Bin Laden is about to do something?

  I thought  
 
I thought in the words of W "you know I don't think about him much", and how long do you thing the person who collects $50 million is going to last before some Bin Laden supporter cuts his head off .....

Can you get your head glued back on for $50 million ?

  Double or nothing  
 
Bin Laden, the master-mind behind killing thousands of Americans... Sounds like an excellent reason to persue.

I can see plenty of benefits of doubling the money:
1. people talk more
2. reports explore more

"I thought in the words of W "you know I don't think about him much", "

Actually, W said, "You know, I just don't spend that much time on him". There's a difference between the two statements. Definately W thinks about him, but as the reporter mentioned, he doesn't talk about it much. He doesn't spend that time on him.

  I knew he was genius!!  
 
by the way, how do you spell his name? Usama Bin Laden or Osama Bin Laden?



 
 by: b4u     01/26/2005 12:19 AM     
  and then he went on to say  
 
"I truly am not that concerned about him"

if you'r not concerned about someone you don't think about them much ...no

but thanks for the link good site , i'd never seen it , could come in very handy .
 
 by: rory182     01/26/2005 11:08 AM     
  Usama  
 
But that is a translated name because in his language they do not use our alphabet. But I think he would spell it Usama. That is what I have heard a few times from conspiracy guys.

My fave Bush Jr quote is "this is the guy who tried to kill my father..."

If Saddam were to shoot Bush Sr personally he would do it with a Gun sold to him by Bush Sr himself.

  Fifty Dollars or Fifty Million  
 
Makes no difference. If they haven't caught him by now they aren't going to.

  Bush the true "Flip-Flopper"  
 
Here are a few direct Bush quotes:

On Sept 13, 2001 Bush was quoted as saying:

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama Bin Laden. It's our number one proiority and we will not rest until we find him."

But then, exactly six months later on March 13, 2002 Bush said:later:

"I don't know where he is, I have no idea and I don't really care. Its not that important, its not our priority".

Now the reward of $25 million is being doubled to $50 million???

Seems like he's back to caring about catching Bin Laden again. I wonder what his postition on the matter will be next month?

Look who's the Flip-Flopper now.

That was taken out of context:

(Still the pres is certainly a flip flopper too, they just used it far better against the dems who didn't seem to use it at all)
