I was hoping Bush would do something like that too, but there is no reason to believe he will. We've lionized him as "strong", but that was more wishful thinking than based on the evidence. A strong, bold President would have asked Congress for a full Declaration of War after 9/11. Bush settled for a more political solution, which just bit us in the ass last Tuesday.

You are so right. If we'd been serious about a war on terror we'd have tripled the military in 2001 and invaded Afghanistan - through Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran and ended the lunacy that is Islamo-facism.

Now we will have to suffer another terror attack before anyone will even talk about doing something about it.
