I believe the war will gradually escalate
it may not begin slowly, but it probably will be very contained at first
I expect NYCity and WashDC to be repeatedly hit
e.g. Empire State Bldg, Yankee Stadium
e.g. Capitol Bldg, Washington Memorial

then we have other beautiful landmark targets
e.g. Chicago Sears Tower, Boston Prudential Center, SanFran TransAmerica Tower, even the StLouis Arch

we are getting a taste of our vulnerability as an open society
how hard is it to call in a bomb threat?
two yesterday in Pitt alone, both bastards caught

the inescapable truths in my view are the escalating nature and our ineffectiveness in hitting targets

when the US is hit very hard, we respond very hard
but this enemy is totally different
it offers little if anything in the way of targets
it claims little for credit
Benny Laden is already reported as unaccounted for
his many camps have pulled out
WHAT DO WE HIT?

will US Military Forces use "its usual ineffective tactics" ???
e.g. airstrikes, Cruise missiles
we have all the wrong weapons for this War !!!

I expect to see a cavalcade of ineffective military action
MERE RE-ARRANGEMENT OF ROCKS AND SAND

to be effective, we must be willing to lose many lives
we have relied on our advanced technology so much that we have engaged in a tradeoff: hightech push button with no lost lives EXCHANGED FOR ineffective strikes
we dont admit this key fact publicly

we need advanced weaponry:
- superior intelligence gathering methods
(torture, invasion of foreign lands, covert action, assassination of key leaders, abduction or relatives, bombing for terror)
we need Martial Law

we lack either the capability or the will
that is why we will not succeed in this war
we are unprepared for terror, poison, pestilence
we talk tough, but have no idea what we need to win

we aint fighting the Marquis of Queensbury
this is not a gentleman's battle

after this all becomes apparent, then we escalate
we will eventually be tempted to use our nuclear capability in frustration
but Pakistan has the nuclear bomb

NOW WE WILL FINALLY DEAL WITH THE UNFORTUNATE FACT THAT 1/3 OF THE SOVIET NUCLEAR ARSENAL IS MISSING !!!
where is it all?
I suspect Iran owns a nuclear submarine purchased from old Soviets
the Black Market is flush with advanced weapons
