Osama Dead!!!

[Thorne]

Well i think that sums the death of OBL up.....now i suppose its more of the same.

I wonder. Been thinking off and on about this, and if I remember correctly bin Laden had connections with the Saudi royal family, plus a boatload of money. Can things continue as before without those resources? Or will al Quida become the headless serpent thrashing in the dust as it's blood seeps away? Or will this appointment serve to split the group even more, forcing them to waste resources with infighting rather than acts of terror?

I don’t think that Al-qaeda will be short of cash, there will be a banker backing them somewhere. All the drugs coming out of Afghanistan are not making the locals rich so someone other than they are reaping the rewards. Just like the IRA had Irish Americans, Irish Australians, and others from the fallen empire funding the cause through donations, so too will the Al-qeada. Terrorists and murderers deal in cash and the only time they look in a bank is on the point of robbery.

There are a hell of a lot of Al-qaeda sympathisers in the world, and if they only gave a $/£ each once a month. Then it is an awful large amount of honest cash going to a dishonest cause.

I do however like your thinking, “It would be nice it were fact and not wishful thinking.”

Be well IAN 2411
