Re: Al Qaeda Sues for Peace
I forget the exact word but during our wars with the Pirates in the early 19th century we called them something that allowed us to declare war on them, sign treaties, but not recognize them as a political entity. I forget exactly what it was called. Grr this is frustrating I forgot what the term is called. Anyone know?Coalition wrote:The other fun part is that they could be trying for international recognition as a political entity. From there, they negotiate with different countries to give Al Qaeda a homeland, or they go back to terrorist attacks against the most stubborn country.
Of course, in that homeland, the whole world knows where they are.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

We have a nice island here in Hawaii, that the military uses for bombing.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.
