What makes you so sure? Just because if you were in his shoes, that's what you'd do?
Make no mistake about it...we're not just fighting one looney and his band of Merry Men. We're fighting global Islam, who are out to kill or convert us. The Asian mindset is much, much more patient than ours...if the Islamofascists thought they could deliver to us not just a body blow, but a knockout punch, that's exactly what they'd do. Why set off one nuke that would destroy one city, and hurt our economy, when they could set off 20 nukes, destroy/flatten 10-20 cities and demolish our economy? From what I've inferred from "The Art of War", to an Asian mind, that would be worth a few more years of planning and maneuvering.
Just my two cents.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Well if your right, then he thinks he's got all the time in the world to plan the attack. Hopefully we are putting a little more pressure on him which is forcing him to play his hand.
