'As Rumsfeld admitted in Congressional testimony, these suicide fighters "are not deterrable". Period." First not all terrorists are "suicide fighters". PERIOD! They are, at best, a small fraction of all terrorists. Second, how about putting your distorted use of that quote in proper context......... Testimony of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld before the Senate Armed Services Committee regarding Iraq (Transcript) <font size=4> .....Some have argued that Iraq is unlikely to use weapons of mass destruction against us because, unlike terrorist networks, Saddam Hussein has a return address.<font size=3> Mr. Chairman, there's no reason to have confidence that if Iraq launched a WMD attack against the United States that it would necessarily have a return address. <font size=4> There are ways Iraq could easily conceal responsibility for a WMD attack. They could give biological weapons to a terrorist network to attack us from within. Suicide bombers are not deterrable. They end up dead, and therefore the problem of being deterred is not something they worry about..... defenselink.mil
