We have to go with all out shock and awe and make it truly happen.

We can dream about it, OR, but it won't happen. Our military is run by lawyers instead of warriors. Every air strike is weighed in the balance against the civilian casualties it may cause.

That's one reason we have had so much trouble in Iraq. We didn't kill enough people at the start. It's tough to say that, but you have to condition the population into believing that they lost. It has to hurt.

Mark my words, if any Muslim group, whether it be an identified country or terrorists SUPPOSEDLY acting unilaterally commits an action here such as nuclear or biological, or chemical resulting in 10's to 100's of thousands of American deaths THE WHOLE WORLD will see a reaction that WILL indeed cause them to say HOLY SHIT. I just came back from a cruise with passengers from all over the world. I think there is a DEEP pissed off attitude developing among our populance thats gonna DEMAND some kind of action, and I dont mean pussy footing around. People are starting to get tired of Washington politics, Homeland Security and all the BS thats going on. What shocked me THE MOST was many people I talked to from New England (a place I would think would be liberal) are just as angry as us Conservatives in the South. jdn
