I don't think people who crave instant retaliation are nwecessarily liberals, but their need for instant gratification plays into the enemies hands and doesn't help us win.

I wouldn't have minded a couple of immediate bombs into Taliban held areas, but I was never calling for instant gratification. I don't know where you got that from. Certainly not from my above comments. But if the plan is to go with special forces insertion, it makes sense to go in while we know they're still there. We may be using national assets and team tracking to monitor movements. I'm fairly sure we're trying. But don't think for a second that we'll be 100% successful.

This will be a long anf in many cases frustrating haul. I didn't mean you specifically I was refering to the sense I get from many who are upset and seem to have the attitude that we should bomb right away, just ot show we are 'doing something'.
