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 / Jim
