happythoughts 0 #28 March 19, 2004 On the CNN website, there is a pic of the Pakistani military. They are surrounded by sandbags. There are 3 guys, all guns facing out, every direction. I guess the Pakistanis are surrounded. (I've never been in the military, it may be SOP to have people aim out in all directions, just my sense of humor.)

pajarito 0 #29 March 21, 2004 Just got around to reading this one. No, I had no idea about the word Paki. I've just heard it a lot over the past couple of years in my military circles. I guess I need to brush up on my cross cultural communications. That reminds me of a British woman consultant that I worked with one time. We were implementing a Tivoli software package one year and I was working on the project. I came in one morning and made a compliment that her clothes looked nice that day and especially, her pants. She looked at me and smiled, because she knew I had no idea about what I had just said, and said, "Jay...that's not a very nice thing to say to a lady." She later told me that "pants" in England means the same thing as "panties" in America. I felt rather embarassed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDYDO 0 #31 March 21, 2004 QuoteAyman al-Zawahiri, #2 man in Al-Qaida organization has been said to be cornered in within about a 35km area in Pakistan. Hope they get him! Noon Sunday: Fox News just reported that they believe he is dead, dna tests will confirm that the body is actually his. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #32 March 21, 2004 I'm not so sure now. But anyway, I wonder if the average person realizes how significant it would be if Zawahri were killed/captured. They keep calling him "number 2", "second in command" etc. With all the fixation on Usama, I think the average person fails to understand that Zawahri is just as important and dangerous. Zawahri was the one who was heavily into this terrorist shit before Usama, and actually influenced Usama. Zawahri was the founder really, but Usama had the big bucks & is the figure-head.

pajarito 0 #33 March 21, 2004 I don't know. They're now saying that it's probably all just BS. It would be nice but I think this story got blown all out of proportion from the start. It kind of fed on itself. We'll see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
