Of course not. This is rhetoric BS.
On the other hand you would do well to visit Breitscheidplatz in Berlin-Charlottenburg for an example of what the US was able to do with piston-engine aircraft, TNT and white phosphorus without setting a single foot on the Continent. There are too few of you remaining with the living memory of those days.
I am well aware about the American abilities. My granddad is responsible for a whole graveyard of young Americans. We was one of the very few well experienced German pilots (he joined the German Luftwaffe as a pilot in 1934 and was used as a flight instructor until early 1944) who were left in 1944/45 that wiped American bombers out of the German skies with their Focke-Wulf Fw 190-D9s. He left many crying American mothers behind whose hearts were broken. Believe it or not, my Granddad (91 years now) and my whole family are very sorry for this although it happened in real defense. My own family survived the Dresden bombing i.e..
Nevertheless American military abilities are not that impressive anymore today for a observer from abroad. You invaded Iraq. So what? A broken country with a crazy dictator. Nobody had reason to any resistance. The sane Iraqis would even have surrendered if the Swiss guard of the Vatican would have marched in. And... ...as long as you are not able to catch this camel driver Bin Laden you folks will not be able to tie up to the good reputation of your grandfathers anyway.
Oh, he's long dead - it just suits the propaganda arms of both sides to pretend he isn't...
Do you really believe we are not as strong as we were sixty years ago?
As for Bin Laden, he is a symptom of the greater disease.
