The president addresses the nation and expresses resolve never to surrender, the FBI and CIA and NSA go into overdrive to discover who planted the bomb and who posted the Internet demand. Three days later an atomic explosion occurs in Lexington Kentucky. Same demand same reaction.
Three days later an atomic explosion occurs in a mall in short Hills New Jersey. Same demand same reaction from officials but an up swelling of demand by a growing number of parents, particularly mothers, who insist that the government surrender rolls across the land.
After two more explosions the country disintegrates and the government is forced to follow instructions imposing sharia and requiring the conversion of Americans to Islam.
Far-fetched? Perhaps, perhaps not. But whom are you going to bomb? You scream "retaliate" even louder. There is no one to bomb. You scream, "sink their Navy, flatten their power, and crush their armor" but they have no Navy, no air power, no armor. Europe has long ago submitted to Islam and America has virtually no allies in the world.
There is no one and nothing to bomb. You don't know what to do. There are many in the Muslim world who know who is responsible but you do not have a relationship with them, you have not cultivated them, they have nothing to gain by helping you and nothing to lose by watching you lose.
You have lost the war.
Bluster on.
