US set to double bin Ladin booty
The US House of Representatives has voted to hike the reward for information leading to the capture of Usama bin Ladin to $50 million.


The bill passed on Thursday also sanctioned a hefty increase in rewards for information on other suspected 'terrorists' and for helping to disrupt 'terrorist financing networks including narcotics trafficking.'

"This bill makes the link between funding for terrorists and drug profits," House representative Mark Kirk said.

1. Why not?
It wouldn't be the first time the GOP has used taxpayer money to boost Bush's campaign.

3. A person makes about 50.00 a year in Afghanistan.
No one turned in Osama for 25 million.
Bush wants to up it to 50 million.

It just shows you, Bush Co.believes everyone has their price. I now know Bush would turn in his own wife for a reward. He places money over life, honor, Country and Countrymen.

That is because they are disconnected; have no clue; and could care less about anything other than their own interests.

EDIT: excellent cartoon btw.. THANKS!

7. they got Sadam but
that didn't stop the insurgency in Iraq. What makes these idiots think that getting Osama would stop Islamic radicals any way. If nothing else it would make him a martyr around whom the militants could rally. Christ! these politicians are idiots. Hate the way they can just throw away OUR money on half assed projects. :mad:
