It was indeed hyperbole. And that post was made over two months ago.

If you are of the belief that Bin Laden and a few rogue supporters of his are 100% responsible for this I believe you are mistaken. Not only do I believe more people were involved I also believe countries were involved. War is not about being above your enemies its about defeating them. That means doing whatever it takes with no strings attached. It also means sending a message that is so brutal that such things are never done again. We may irritate the global community by leveling a city like Baghdad but countries around Iraq would think twice before supporting groups like the Al Qaeda. They would also do a fine job of policing themselves in the future so as to make sure they weren't given the big stick treatment themselves. <<His idea is Might Can do Whatever the Hell It Wants>> Not whatever it wants. We were minding our own business on 911 Neo. That wasn't acceptable so a well organized group of people (and I believe countries) decided to play chicken. Well guess what - Those people and countries are about to find out what might is - because on a military level - WE ARE GOD!

>>but it is about time we cooled off........<< WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT US TO COOL OFF? Look what's happened in the past eight years while we remained cool.... The 1993 World Trade Center bombing killed six and injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. Then we have 9-11 with 4000+ dead and thousands injured and displaced. Bush promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. I want THIS president to keep his word and do WHATEVER it takes to accomplish that goal. And I think everyone in this country should keep the vigil until that goal is accomplished. This is not the time to cool off.
