US-funded TV ads seek tips to find bin Laden (Pakistan)
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A television and radio campaign offering a $25 million reward for information leading to the capture of Osama bin Laden hit the airwaves in Pakistan this week in a US-government funded drive to get fresh leads about the Al Qaeda leader.

..."Who are the people who are suffering from terrorism? Our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters! Who are those terrorists? And who can stop them? Only you!" a voice appeals in the Urdu language.

("Who are those terrorists?" Two and 1/2 years and hundreds of billions of dollars later, and they need to put out an ad asking who the terrorists are?! WTF?! :crazy:)

2. Osama Bin Who?
I think I've heard that name before, but it's been a long time.

3. Pakistan knows that until we find Bin Laden, they're safe
Once Bin Laden is in custody (or dead) we won't need Pakistan's help anymore, and there will be nothing stopping us from "pressuring them to abandon their WMD's" and we'll use it as a pretense for invasion.

5. U.S. Reward Money

The United States should offer $25,000,000 to the American who comes up with the best plan to fix Social Security.
