If I hear the phrase "lack of planning" one more time, some libs and RINO's are flat out going to die en masse.
No-one should be allowed to say those three words EVER AGAIN without having to explain what THEIR plan was/is in excruciating detail, with equally detailed supporting evidence from history rooted in a solid understanding of human nature.
1) Declare war on Al Qaeda and any states who did not immediately put their domestic security apparatus under United States control.
2) Cancel all visas held by citizens or subjects of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Algeria, or Morocco. Detain or expel all former visa holders.
3) Issue a call for volunteers to serve in a 120-division United States force to occupy and reconstruct the above-referenced barbarian lands. Introduce legislation to activate the Selective Service System to draft up to ten million men, as required to develop such an Army.
4) Seize forward operating bases in Northern Saudi Arabia and Western Iraq, to stage the US Army into the areas to be occupied.
5) Conclude a mutual defense treaty with India to promote the liquidation of (former West) Pakistan.
6) Militarize the Mexican border by seizing a defense zone fifty miles into Mexican territory and expelling any Mexicans living there.
That's the plan. No "lack of planning" there, eh?
