Actor Bruce Willis is offering $1 million to any civilian who captures Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Dog the Bounty Hunter has said several times he'd love to find Osama.

Question: How about finding Osama or someone else in the Middle East? Could you do it?

Dog: Absolutely. Waiting for the phone call from GW.

On CNBC, Dog said he could find Osama in 90 days.

Bruce, meet Dog. Dog meet Bruce.

    I thought the US government already had a price of $25 million (or was it 50) on OBL. In any case, if Dog headed off to the wilds of Afghanistan/Pakistan he would probably find himself suffering the fate of captured Russian soldiers in those parts. Better to hang around LA and bring in bail jumpers.

    These are the new merceniaries. Blackwell, Haliburton et.al. supply the new bounty hutner/mercs who as contractors of the DOD, are above the law, and have no liabilities for the crimes thy commit.
    Dog: Yes. On the show we apprehend 30 real suspects. Beth: And we lived through all of them.... Question from bigdog: Can you make a good living as a bounty hunter? How do you get started and all? Beth: If you like trucks and puppies. He owed child support in Colorado, and I owed child support in Colorado, and a judge challenged him to find one of his fugitives in exchange for one month's child support. We accepted, and the rest you can read at
    Looks like we are in trouble.

    I love Dog, but he's a tad naive on this one. TV doesn't really do him justice, since he's only five-foot-seven. And he'd be sliced to half of that soon after setting down in Pashtun country. As for Willis, why doesn't he just give him million to families that need it? It'd do more good.

    Oh yes, offering $51 million is going to be so much more effective than $50 million....will he throw in his hairpiece from the Die Hard movies, too?

    He would do some good by offering the money to those who capture leading American war criminals and deliver them to the Iraqi people. But Willis will not do that. He is widely know as a supporter of the Bush-regime and American militarism.

    Die Hard is on Encore right now. Spooky. We're marvelling at the hairpiece.

    I think it's just Bruce's attempt to get Demi to notice him again. He just got punked by Ashton ans he's feeling low

    "dog" is a dweeb. the people he goes after aren't exactly on the fbi's "10 most wanted" list. let's see him go after someone really dangerous, someone happy to slice & dice him, without a second thought. say, oh, i don't know, some of the columbian or russian mob guys. ol' dog would end up a lot shorter. i'd give him about 10 minutes in afghanistan or iraq, his head would be on a pike. so, when can we expect bruce to enlist? i know that technically he's too old, but i feel certain they'd make an exception for him. i shan't be holding my breath.

    Maybe he can play Jeff Gannon in the Bushco version of "All the President's Men". He can research it by viewing Kevin Bacon's character in "JFK".

    cpniva, yeah, dog's been taking down a lot of low-grade fugis. is saw him surround a taco bell to go after some nineteen year-old kid who missed a court date. kid almost pissed his pants, came out with crappy "mexican" rice still on his apron. not exactly baby face nelson he's going after with his can of mace. but i do find him entertaining and oddly humane.
