I call on President Bush to lay out Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Minister Louis Farrakhan

funny you should mention it. Here's a comment from Hawkmoon on Sunday (#reply-16501373):

Obviously Bin Laden and his strategists are more than likely disheartened that the Muslim world has not rose up to embrace their cause, but they continue to attempt finding some other pivotal cause which will legitimize their own, and lead to an expansion of this conflict.

First it was just American forces stationed Saudi Arabia... then Palestine... and now Kashmir... To those who watch closely, it's apparent that OBL is flailing around to find an ally that will join him... He's isolated, with no means of resupply or assistance and essentially a dead man walking.

Personally, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear start trying to dredge racial tensions in the US in hopes of appealing to the sympathy of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam...

Hmm. I think the Taliban tried that route and failed. Also, isn't it odd that the leader of the so-called "Million Man March" called the U.S. Government liars? Wasn't there a controversy over assertions that there were nowhere even approaching a million men at that event, and Farrakhan either threatened or did sue those who challenged his claims that there were, in order to shut them up?
