All terrorists are wimps who hide behind the skirts of their women when the going gets tough

Poor little rich boy; religous fanatic he may be but not a whimp (could you survive the amount of time he has in the wild he frequents and still live) he was trained and financed by the British and Americans to fight against the Russians, that came back and bit them in the toosh; we are fighting in a war that if fundamentally a gorilla war where there are no rules. I am no fan of any terrorist organisation and do not condone the acts that are undertaken in the name of any religion or political ideology, but did we learn nothing from Vietnam, Korea etc. You cannot fight an ideology that has no respect for human life.

Like anyone protected by anonymity and safe environments it is easy for bin Laden to issue his orders and send thousands to their deaths. People like him are very brave at letting others die but when it comes to himself you can guarantee he would never be prepared to 'die for the cause' in the same way as thousands of his followers have. It would be a very courageous leader who said 'Come on, I'll show you how it's done.' and then blow himself up. All these 'leaders' justify their existence by telling their followers that they are not allowed to die because the 'cause' needs their unique leadership. Cowards, the whole rotten mess of them. All in the name of Islam. I have explored an Islam advice site where people ask for advice on line. Answers are given and i do not know enough about Islam to comment on their validity, but every answer ends with the phrase 'Remember, Allah is always right.' This phrase then convinces askers that the advice they get, and which, after all is only given by men, is genuine and true. No doubt bin Laden uses the same phrase when sending people to die for him.

Osama was rich and gave it up for his cause, Saddam was poor and became rich and could not give it up. Osama will be the harder to catch based on his ability to adapt. Although he could be driving a cab in Chicago for alll we know. A Live Ghost is better than a dead Spirit!!!

Most terrorists are not "wimps", they would gladly die for "Allah" and get their 72 virgins. Although, the part I LOVE about this war is when our fighting boys actually get a chance to fight and not just sit around waiting for an IED or a sniper or Mortar attack. Battle like Fallujah where we could just go in and kill all the terrorists, we need more tactics like that.

I'm no lover of Bin Laden,but he certainly is no
wimp.He not only led and fought against the best
Russia could throw at him.He and he's taught the SAS and American Special Forces a few
things.We may not like him but you have to admire him for fighting the fight he can.How many of us could live like he does and still have
the so called strongest nation on earth frightened.

I agree with quatt47, but didn't the British do that in WW1. The Generals sat in thier offices and millions of British soldiers were killed in a pointless excercise in the Somme. No disrespect to the men who died fighting for our freedom but, hey c'mon, why didn't they just take a detour 10 miles down the road? Surely the country wasn't two miles wide!!!.....

He MAY ONLY BE 49 BUT HE LOOKS 80 IN SOME OF THE LAST PICTURES WE HAVE OF HIM. He has had Kidney problems for years and need dialysis treatments. As far as finding Suddam in a hole they should of just shot him right there and saved a lot of trouble and time !!

'Terry W' read a book on the Battle of the Somme,1916 or at least look it up on Yahoo Search before writing such a load of 'codswallop'. However don't despair because most of the other answers are just as inaccurate as well!.
