Did you here OBL say on his latest tape that to destroy the US economy would cripple our military? That was quite possibly the most ignorant statement I have ever heard. No wonder he is on the run. Hiding in caves. If that is how he had planned to take us down, it was a losers game from the beginning. FDR proved that fact. Our economy leading into WWII sucked wind. Pearl Harbor, price controls, and war bonds, as well as real sacrifice by the American public created and financed a war machine which supplied tanks and munitions which flowed like water from a faucet and made us the lone super power of the time. Here we sit, once again the lone super power of the world and I say we could do it again if we lost it all again and the economy fell apart because of OBL's gang. This time we would be more ruthless because it would take a major incident with 50,000 of more dead to destroy the market. The American people would cry out in a bloodlust never before heard and we would have the tools as well as a potent militarized economy to respond to that cry. You think Hitler's blitzkrieg was fast? You ain't seen squat. I only hope we never see this scenario.
