Strange times, the fall of 2001.

My other fave bit:

MISSION EQUIPMENT
Laptops and hand-held radios
$3m in $100-bills
Instant coffee

The instant coffee was to be used to kill bin/laden, the super flavour lock seal would then keep his head fresh until dry ice could be acquired.

Ah, clearly the coffee was Sanka.

wrong, again, rufus,: I guesstimate it would take about that, $3m in $100-bills, to cut a man's head off with papercuts. it's smart they thought to bring coffee.

exactly one week after 9/11, they were on a plane flying to the region, equipped with laptops, hand-held radios, instant coffee and $3m in $100 bills.

A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Any body read "Ghost Wars"? I'm reading it now. What imbessiles. What maroons!

Bugs Bunny would do a fun job with all that cash and coffee.

Plus think of the hilarity when he kissed the muhejadin and scampered off.

I'll take death by paper cuts over Sanka any day.
