We haven't see the start of it. Pakistan is on high alert. They've got India nervous. I hope I'm wrong. This attack took 9 months to plan for the terrorists. We couldn't wait 9 weeks before we did something? It was evident that this action really didn't have much directly to do with either bin Laden or the terrorist networks but I'M called impatient???!!

I'd prefer an insertion of commandos based upon sound intelligence to hands-free bombing of the dust trails of Taliban leaders. The latter looks better on TV. That airfield was in ruins before we bombed it. There was no equipment left in it.

It's a pity that we can't see all possible options. If we could, I'm sure that Vegas would run a book on them. Personally, I'm quite happy with what's happening. There's no perfect answer to dealing with terrorists and criminals.
I'm tired of Clinton bashing, but apparently he was warned by several people not to pardon the Puerto Rican terrorists as this would be a signal to terrorists that we don't deal with them seriously and this might have made them more willing to go ahead with the 9/11 attacks. The historians will get to make that call.
