This is WAR, not a criminal investigation.

Oh, I agree completely. However, would a President Kerry (SHUDDER) view it that way? Or, would he be too apologetic and whimpy to do what would be needed?

Good point, unfortunately. The likelihood of a city being nuked would be greater by orders of magnitude if Kerry were president, and the likelihood of an effective response less by similar ordersof magnitude. Although, there is precedent for Democratic regimes to react and commit to a larger war, e.g. in Vietnam (Kennedy/Johnson), Korea (Truman) and WWI (Wilson). Even Carter became (briefly) hawkish after the Soviets went into Afghanistan. But, he never quite "got it" viz. a viz. the Islamofascists in Iran.

President Kerry might be too cowed to act, but, inter alia, President Hillary would certainly have no qualms about killing a few millions to cement her grasp on power, for instance.

I thank God that GW has qualms.
