Bin Laden Has Recruiting Problems
By JIM KRANE, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A letter seized from an al-Qaida courier shows Osama bin Laden has made little headway in recruiting Iraqis for a holy war against America, raising questions about the Bush administration's contention that Iraq is the central front in the war on terror.

1. So Do We

Why do you think they're extending tours of service, and talking about reinstituting the draft?

2. This was posted yesterday and it's bs
the letter writer is a known terrorist, but it has been proven that he has no connection to bin Laden.

5. I'm not upset with you
I'm upset with news services like the AP Wire who continue to run crap like this, that a simple google search will discredit in an instant. Even if they publish a retraction or correction, it's too late because the meme has been planted.

One of my missions in life is too snuff out memes like this before they go to far. Didn't mean anything personal.

4. He needs the Bush cartel to send him more $$.

He needs the Bush cartel to send him more $$ to help his recruiting efforts... you know, for videos, tapes and flyers. Jeez... you'd think Colin Powell would be helping him out already like he did with Saddam..
