Why zero action to avenge the USS Cole?

While hardly complete this seems like action to me.....

en.wikipedia.org

On November 3, 2002, the CIA fired a AGM-114 Hellfire missile from a Predator UAV at a vehicle carrying Abu Ali al-Harithi, a suspected planner of the bombing plot. Also in the vehicle was Ahmed Hijazi, a U.S. citizen. Both were killed. This operation was carried out on Yemeni soil.

On September 29, 2004, a Yemeni judge sentenced Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and Jamal al-Badawi to death for their roles in the bombing. Al-Nashiri, believed to be the operation's mastermind, is currently being held by the U.S. at an undisclosed location. Al-Badawi, in Yemeni custody, denounced the verdict as "an American one." Four others were sentenced to prison terms of five to 10 years for their involvement, including one Yemeni who had videotaped the attack

"Bush is proven incompetent at fighting real terrorists"

That is ignorant. The anti-terrorist movement initiated by Bush and followed by Canada, GB, and the free world has saved many lives. Pan Islam is a very very real threat to people each and every day.

Bin Laden is in Pakistan-- a Muslim country with nuclear weapons. It is all very delicate. You show an evident pride in your glibness but you do sweet piss all to make this world a better place. No solutions--just endless vitriol and sputum.
