I am not sorry that the administration has waited.
I admire the fact that they are patient and wait until they know exactly the nature of what they are facing (to the best of their ability) before they strike back.
In a situation like this, it would be awfully easy to panic and just go out and thrash at it, which makes them very prone to mistakes. It is much more effective to wait until you see the whites of their eyes, so to speak.
Again, misunderestimate them at your own risk. And when their back is against the wall, they are much, much better at it.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Your screen name fits.
