Politics leads to a sell out of our troops. There ought to be calls for retaliation against any nation that is killing our soldiers. But while conservatives don't want to criticize Bush, the democrats want to prevent any military action against Iran. So we have no one calling for a more aggressive reaction.
There ought to be calls for retaliation against any nation that is killing our soldiers.Someone attacks you and your choices are only two:
Many things can come of retaliating, but there can only be one consequence to not-retaliating:
The same people will attack you again.
"2 had diplomatic immunity"...what..they held our Embassy employees for a long long time.....lets hold theirs for a few...oh thats right..we are PC.....and that is why we will lose this war..
Where did you get the idea that YOU would see signs of military action?
"But while conservatives don't want to criticize Bush, the democrats want to prevent any military action against Iran." We have plenty of "conservatives" here who LOVE to criticise the President, deserving or not. In fact, thats all they do.
"If accurate, this should mean military action or threat of serious action against Iran. I see zero sign of either. Bush ought to add a zero tolerance policy to his new approach.

The real question is why we haven't a least conducted special opps to blow up a government building near the mullahs, torch an oil field or something else nasty to send the message to these people that 'we can touch you'. Bush is going to be remembered by half of America as the worst POTUS ever so he may as well take his shot to protect us and send the enemy the message.
