| $1 Billion for the Head of Osama Bin Laden
Ron Paul's plan to fight terror would've kept our troops home. He wanted to issue a letter of marque and reprisal. A bounty on the heads of Al Qaeda members. Instead of spending $ trillions and risking American lives, you offer $1 billion for the head of Bin Laden.
To me this seems extremely practical. Why didn't/wouldn't we do it? Thoughts? |

It's just so large as to be beyond grasp for most there. The number we had was gargantuan in that neck of the woods and it still didnt matter. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | So it was $25 Million? I never even heard of it.
Yeah maybe $25 million (or any amount) wasn't going to get Osama's people to turn on him, but I think $1 billion is enough to get every bounty hunter in the world teaming up to go after him. | |
