Let it be known - It was a REPUBLICAN who opposes increasing the bounty for Osama
The U.S. Senate voted, with a count of 87-1, to double the bounty for Osama Bin Laden after recent reports that state Al Qaeda has been gaining strength. This bounty will give $50 million to the capture, killing or even information that leads to the capture of Osama Bin Laden.

The U.S. Senate also wants President Bush to focus his efforts toward capturing Osama Bin Laden, instead of putting too much effort into Iraq. This legislation still has to be approved by both the House of Representatives and President Bush himself.

And the one Senator who opposed it?

Jim Bunning, a conservative Republican.

1. I agree.
What the hell difference does it make? If $25 million couldn't do it in one of the poorest countries in the world, what's another $25 going to do?

5. The whole crap is a joke.
Go in there and get rid of him. We certainly don't respect sovereignty of nations, so that isn't an issue. This is bluster for the sheeple.
