Jeeze louise... did he suddenly get stuck on stupid? I really hope and pray there's some wild-@ss poker play going on here and we'll all look at this "after" and say "yeah, that was a good one... you really had us going".
The way I look at it, is as follows, you start out by saying "you are either with the terrorist or with us", AlQueda has no territory nor possessions that we can target.
With our own safequards in place and constant vigil we allow an Arab country possessing both possessions and territory the ability to prove their choice, if any activity of a terrorist nature emerges and takes place in our country once again, we unleash the Dogs of war against a Country and not phantoms.
