You don't need to declare a full-scale war on a country that can barely be supervised by it's own government, and which none of the attackers, planners, and virtually none of the money was native to.

How many al-Qaeda have we killed in Afghanistan? Hundreds? How many have we captured, which captures have led to almost total disruption of al-Qaeda planning through the information supplied?

Plus, it let these cretins know that we're serious about stopping them where they live. No more playing around, as Clinton did.

No one can tell, because it's hard to tell an al-queda terrorist from an Afgani child whose just been blown up in a house raid, after the fact.

And you know there's been an "almost total disruption" how?

yea, yea, it sure must scare the pants off al queda that we can rattle our hyper-expensive sword for years in Afganistan, at their raghead patsies, but we can't stop the heroin, and we can't capture Ben Laden, despite having him totally cornered and dead to rights at one point, and we couldn't blow up his chief general because some mid-level military lawyer thought it would be wrong. Oh, and lets not forget the latest news out of our ever-so-competent warmakers: that the reason we haven't captured Ben Laden since the 93 bombing, when we first put a price on his head--is that we have TOO MANY federal agencies charged with the task. This administration ought to be hung out to dry just on the basis of sheer incompetence. You have a lot of nerve claiming that police action would have been incompetent, in the face of the current results. At least police action wouldn't have been as expensively incompetent.
