Son of Osama wants to race for peace ??!

[RacerX1]

Son of Osama Bin Laden wants to organize a 3,000 mile race across the North African Desert on horseback for peace.

"The couple has applied for a visa to Britain. And they are planning their endurance horse race across North Africa, which they hope to start in March. It is in the planning stages - they are seeking approval of governments along the route and need sponsors to help pay for the event and raise money for child victims of war.

Omar said they plan to ride 30 miles a day, with periodic weeklong rests in each country.

Teams from around the world will be encouraged to join in what the couple envisions as an equine version of the Paris-Dakar car rally. That rally was canceled this year due to fears over terrorist threats made by al-Qaida-affiliated groups in North Africa."

I say RG in his Hummer will dominate.

We'll race with horses for peace... Just 590 horses per entry at a time.

I say as long as we see Pops on horseback in the race than lets go for it!

***** that guy. Why dont we take him hostage, hold a machete to his neck and tell Osama if he wants to play hard ball, then lets play hard ball. If Al Queda f*cks with us any more, we will do to him what they have done to our people, only much more slowly. Crimes are much lowere in the middle east because of the "eye for an eye" punishments the have there. Better yet, we can take his horses and tie each one to a limb and have his father watch.

A race for peace.....So he can take the proceeds and funnel them to Al Queda.......What a joke

Did hildalgo seem like a really really boring version of Dust to Glory to anyone else?

A bunch of rich arab kids riding thru the Maghreb on their million dollar ponies with their private jets dropping off fresh qat and cigarettes? What would the Pope say?
