Sorry, but this is definitely not a win in our column. The terrorists escaped to do it another day.

Call it draw, then. They may have escaped, but they were stopped.

No, this is a big win. Not as big as catching or killing them, I agree, but stopping them from killing innocents today is always a win, at least for those people. Any other interpretation is short sighted or sour grapes.

IF we actually knew who they are, we should Capture them, Question them "Down to the Molecular Level," & Eradicate Them, & Their Families--out to the Sixth Generation.

We ARE AT WAR, & our "Adversaries" use "Family Ties."

IF we Must Eradicate an ENTIRE FAMILY to save one Million Innocents--SO BE IT!!

The "Other Side" is NOT "Nice!!"

It was like swatting down a touchdown pass instead of intercepting it. Now we gotta keep playing defense, but at least they didn't score.
