I TOTALLY disagree with this chicken sh-- wait and see attitude.
This whole practise of 'surgical strikes' is what got us here in the first place, suffering attack after attack, with hundreds of Americans losing their lives. The terrorists KNOW we can't get back at them individually.
If we don't demonstrate to ALL terrorists that they will suffer swift and total annihilation for acts against America- and I don't mean extraditing them for some monkey trial- they are going to walk all over us and destroy this country.
We've been going on for YEARS shaking a big stick with our nuclear deterrent game- they have NOW called our bluff. Afghanistan doesn't want to co-operate with the release of Ben Laden? I say pick the most likely spot, and drop a 50 megaton bomb on them. Think they'll want to continue to hide him then? The other major powers will know FOR SURE at that point that we won't hesitate to use nukes for our own protection, and THAT will be a deterrent against an all out world war.
Course, our politicos would never consider this course of action. Too bad Teddy Roosevelte or even Reagan weren't in charge today...
The Palestinians are dancing in the streets today, for they are witnessing the BEGINNING OF THE END of America.
