The weapons we have now are tens to hundreds of times hotter than what we had back in WWII.

We have them in all sizes...

Nuclear is an option, but an unlikely one. We should, however, declare war immediately on any nation-state harboring and supporting the terrorists involved -- and for the first time since WWII, allow our military to prosecute the war without political restrictions.

If those who support the terrorists can see what they will suffer as payment for that support -- then they will stop hiding and supporting these terrorists, and the bastards will be vulnerable and unfunded.

Leave it to people like Cohen (who helped oversee the weakening of the military and intelligence apparatus) and Koppel (one of the media liberal lackies who applauded and encouraged it without a word of warning) to discuss this. Incinerate millions of innocents and perhaps never even get the persons responsible.

There will be no nukes unless we see nuke/bio/chem warfare against us. It would make the world far more dangerous for us and the other civilized nations.

Ultimately, we should expect to see a coalition of the First World nations along with Israel and a few of the "moderate" Arab states in support of our retaliation. Israel will play no overt military role but will use its human int resources to help us out since we don't have such resources and instead bought gadgets that are useless in this instance.

Our response will be an exercise in globalism. I'd very much prefer sole action under a declaration of war (providing we can prove this is state-sponsored or even state-tolerated terrorism).

Did you catch the haggard and guilty look on Clinton's face when he spoke from Australia? He knows he was derelict in his responsibility. He was too busy getting lewinskies to concern himself with the safety of his citizens. Bush has been in office only nine months and is still laboring under the final Clinton budget.

Clinton: his final legacy of office now revealed.

Hopefully, this is the last tragedy he has brought down upon us. I hate to admit that my sympathy for those is New York has been tempered by my anger that it was those who elect such people as Clinton that brought this upon the country. I don't like to think that. But it's hard to forget about entirely.

I would certainly consider the use of fuel-air bombs.
