Even radical Muslims aren't that stupid. A terrorist attack on the U.S. at a time like this would generate a hideous, overwhelming response due to public pressure alone. I could easily see the U.S. concocting a story about who was responsible, then laying waste to a major Islamic capital within 48 hours -- just to make a point.
A Minuteman out of the Dakotas would take about 1/2 hour.
And a missle sub less than that...
No cheers, due to the Democrat quagmire in NO.
Next press conference, Bush ought to drop the bomb on a reporter: New Orleans, there is the REAL quagmire. Set up, executed, lied about. By Democrats.
Prayers for President Bush!
