Where are Eisenhower and Patton when you need them? Our perhaps-Eisenhowers and -Pattons have their hands tied, some of our soldiers have been turned into social workers. There should be entire (mountainous) regions of Afghanistan (and Pakistan) that have been bombed into dust, leveled and salted over. No loss whatsoever to mankind.

“We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority,” - Barack Obama during October 7, 2008 debate.

Well tough guy. Where's his head?

Bush’s approval numbers went through the roof after 9/11.

He was able to push through a terribly unpopular war and Patriot Act.

Imagine what Obama will be able to accomplish once he “finds” Bin Laden.

Osama is awfully quiet for a egotistical maniac. There are several different stories about his being dead, his followers certainly would never hand his body over. There are still many thousands that want to be the new big man in the Islamic terrorist world. Osama is idolized like the Beatles and Elvis to them. In places like the Muslim sections of France, little kids wear Osama tee shirts. This is a war our grandchildren will still be fighting, whether in Afghanistan or New York.

I have to wonder what the headlines would say on the collection of front pages if the editors could go back and change them.

More along the lines of “PAYBACK” The realization turns my stomach.

I still believe a daisy-cutter took him and his one-armed cleric out along with the rest of thier leadership. One of the these days, we will release the intel reports.

If we don't get the terrorists out of Afghanistan and Pakistan they will be back to do more damage to us. They have to be exterminated regardless what it takes. This time we can't just walk away.

The Iraq War was only terribly unpopular with the Left - you know, the same people that hate the USA with every cell in their twisted bodies. Real Americans thought that the Iraq War wasn't enough, but would have to do for now.

You know that, I know that, and millions of other proper thinking Americans know that. Unfortunately, our leaders, for the most part don't, or won't recognize that fact.

When you hate America, it's easy to be that way.

That's because homonyms are of the devil.

Bring me the head of Osama bin Laden

For those who do not know Richard Cohen works, he's a extreme lib and death penaly foe.

Like all Democrats they sound tough until the ball is in their hands.

Say Mr. Cohen, should we torture terrorist or close down Guitmo? (crickets)...
