"Deterrence only works when the enemy know your retribution will be swift, sure, and too terrible to accept."

Our reaction to UBL's first use of WMD on us should, in fact, come from the sky. Irresistible, unimaginable, mushroom shaped. It continually amazes me to see how willing we are to stand and watch western culture threatened with extinction, have the power to stop it, and elect not to.

It is because the leftists, feminists, and Rats have has their way for too long - the Average American is a farkin' pu$$y.

It continually amazes me to see how willing we are to stand and watch western culture threatened with extinction, have the power to stop it, and elect not to.

No wonder somebody once said, something akin to, "The U.S. is likely to be the only country in world history to adopt policies and laws that ensure self-destruction."

Relating to terrorists, is it any wonder a seized al-Qaida training manual pointed out, "why attack a lion, when you can attack a lamb?"

We lived up to this: they tested us and with few exceptions, we invited attacks: our embassy hostages in Iran - no retaliation; Beirut - no retaliation; Khobar Towers - no retaliation, two U.S. embassies - no retaliation; USS COLE - no retaliation; and WTC '93 - no retaliation because Clinton kissed it off as a 'law enforcement matter.' Also, after each attack on his watch, his empty response was the same: we would not tolerate these attacks. All to avoid retaliation.

Then, in the runup to the 2000 elections, the Rats mantra was Bush is a wimp. I feel terrorists mis-calculated it would be more of the same and thus 9/11. This time the lamb turned out to be a tiger.

Is it time for a game of Cowboys and Muslims with 'tit-for-tat'?
