I still want revenge, too. I never thought Richard Cohen would write something like this. Maybe there is hope.

He's become quite edumacated over the years. First there was that ol'gal at the Globe who charged him with sexual harrassment.

There's hope.

Don’t look for this president to do it.

By contrast, John McCain and his wife kneel and gently, somberly, place their roses down at the foot of the 9/11 tribute."

If Mr. Cohen is now writing tough, it may mean it’s time to get the hell out of Afghanistan.

Remember, Cohen thinks Mr. Obama is pragmatic. If Mr. Obama is pragmatic, I’ll eat my hat.

To the extent that our war on terror has failed, it's people like Richard Cohen who bear the blame. During wartime, you support the president and you support the idea that we want to win the war. Second-guessing, criticizing, talking about impeachment, or having international tribunals judge our leaders ... all of these things made it hard to win the war on terror.

The Left is always insincere in its patriotism and always secretly hopes that our enemies triumph over us.

He acts as there has been no results. Osama may or may not be around. Let’s assume he is. Al Queda has been severely disrupted and slowed, if not neutered at this point. The ‘leaders’ today below #1 have been killed off many times over. Afghanistan still has troubles, but has an elected leader and the Taliban have been severely damaged. Those firing on our troops today are mostly replacements to the ones we killed off. We have beaten back Al Queda in Iraq...the location they identified as the most important battle ground.

Cohen wants to dismiss the many successes and say nothing has been accomplished. I strongly disagree.

Oh, up until recently, we were dishing out revenge left and right. 10’s of thousands of jihadis, just like the 9/11 thugs, have been sent to the great beyond. In fact, in the big picture, assuming that OBL isn’t moldering in some cave right now, making him irrelevant is the best revenge there is.

As far as how the revenge business goes now, no comment. I am sure that at some point the president will apologize for it though.

Had Leahy and his fellow traitors ( the democrats) not leaked to the world, secret tactics used to track OBL down, he would have been killed or in custody years ago.

the man who ordered the killing of Americans in Lower Manhattan and the Pentagon and in the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania is still in his lair...

That's assuming he's still alive and not buried under several million tons of rock in Tora Bora.

Lefties like Cohen are responsible for the idiotic political correctness that keeps us fighting with one hand behind our backs.

Do you have any doubt that if the will existed in this country, if we were still all real Americans that the ME would be tame by now?

Revenge is an ongoing proposition.

Keep sending the palpable, full-color message to Islam that if you f#$@ with America, your life is over.

America’s still superb military needs to KEEP running the Jihadists’ asses into the ground in THEIR latrine corner of the world.

They will eventually get the message.

“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?

Its going to be tough to get revenge now, with one of their own in the WH.

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.

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)...
