Well, hello, James.

Well, hello, Melody.

It's great to be back here with you.

Well, thank you.

I always enjoy our conversation.

And if time would allow us in the different time zones, I would love to do this on a more frequent basis, but I'm happy to have you here every two weeks.

And, you know, there's so much that goes on from, you know, during the... I'm happy to have you here every two weeks.

And, you know, there's so much that goes on from, you know, during the two weeks that we have the time to share.

And I don't even know where to begin anymore when we start the programs because there's so much. And, you know, you wrote in the lead into your most recent podcast, we now know that something

was a daring special force rate that ended in the death of Osama bin Laden, or is that

Abu Musqabal Zakharwi or Baghdaddy or, you know, and some of my

customers when they called me and says, well, how many times can this die guy? How many times

can this guy die? This is almost old news. Now, it's a week old, but would you like to comment on that please yes i would um yeah how many

times can the same guy die well i guess it depends on which sources you trust which is a big part

of the whole question but at any rate he has he has been reported as dead, near dead, or

maybe dead on at least four or five different occasions. I actually haven't totaled it up,

but I have recounted all of them in my latest podcast. That's episode 366 for those keeping track

at home. Something big has happened, where I break down not only the multiple deaths and arrests of the latest terror

boogeyman that we were all supposed to be living in mortal fear of, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,

but also his predecessor, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi,

and his predecessor Abu Musa Balzarkawi.

And although those names just tend to get jumbled up and people just know them as the scary bearded guy that sometimes posted on the news and announced as dead from time to time, it is instructive to put all of those reports of he was dead at this point he was dead at this point
