Maybe Dubya could soften up the local cops with air stikes first. That's just nuts. America is not going to support the Federal Government taking out local police officers. This is a prescription for Dubya's impeachment.
I never suggested that, nor even imagined it. However, there is no way that the local police would "shoot it out" with the State Police and National Guard, it just would not happen.
I see this whole thing as a poker game, the liberals are calling the bluff of our elected leaders by boldly asserting judicial power and authority over our elected Representatives, Governors, Senators and the Executive branch; and they are winning every hand as the conservative hands fold before they even see the hands of the rat-faced liberals. I think we live in times where it takes a lot of courage to fight the atheists, communists, pagans, socialists and liberals, and I'm just not seeing that courage from our elected officials.
If you are happy with them, then so be it. But just take a look around at where we are today, and where Terri Schiavo is, before you start defending the lack of action by our elected leaders.
