Why no Al-Qaeda playing cards?
Edited on Sun Nov-30-03 05:39 PM by Old and In the Way
Anyone else curious as to what the organizational chart of Al-Qaeda looks like? After OBL, who can name any other senior members? Are there enough Al-Qaeda leadership known to even make up a deck of cards?

Honestly, AQ has been "our biggest threat" for 10 years or so....and I am at loss as to why we seem so totally in the dark as to who and what makes up the organization.

Last question, where would Grover Norquist be in the deck....joker, 4 of Clubs?

2. For the simple reason
that they'd have to put all of the ray-gun, b*sh-one and b*sh-two administrations and all current repuKKKes on them.

The bastard norquisling would be the deuce of spades.

3. Bush* don't know WHO they are!
One man who was 50th on the importance list became number 2 when captured.
plus how many "high-ranking" Al Qaeda operatives have been caught since 9/11? Too friggin' many to count. Have you ever heardthe expression: too many chiefs and not enough indians?
Apparently Al Qaeda operates under this principle, all are high-ranking making them all planners of 9/11. Osama bin Who?

4. Exactly!
They don't have enough names to make a full deck.

Of course this administration is not playing with a full deck so that makes Al-Qaeda and the White House about even. :crazy:

6. Maybe this administration needs help?

Perhaps the Democrats should be helping the Bush administration "remember" who the kingpins in Al-Qarda are.....I know that would lead into Saudi Arabia and there might be people connected to Bush that would make action "awkward" for Dimson...but if we don't expose and pressure this administration to deal with the terrorists as criminals, then we'll be fighting this problem for generations.

Seems that a playing deck could do a number of things, primatilly-

(1) educate the public as to who the real terrorists are.
(2) provide a simple reference on the effectiveness on this administration's "War on Terror".

I suspect that going 0 for 52 into the 2004 election would be an effective weapon to use againt Bushco.

5. Because the "deck was stacked" against Iraq.
We never intended to focus on Afghanistan...it was just an excuse to get into Iraq. If 9/11 had not happened, we would have done something to give us a reason to get into Iraq. Probably used the WMD logic which was planned way before 9/11...that's why we got stuck on using that as reason after 9/11..it was embedded in the neocon PNAC brains.
