I agree with your cautionary note. I applaud the adminstration's foreign policy victories, but I'm concerned their military strikes (having taken so long) may be less than effective. But I'm also not privy to a lot of info, so I'm hopeful they know what they're doing and will seriously attempt to decapitate these terrorist organizations.

"but I'm concerned their military strikes (having taken so long) may be less than effective"

Patience, patience: it takes a while to set up something this big 8,000 miles away in a forbidding place with no existing support lines, facing obvious opposition, and with an adversary that moves around a lot. The US has to get everything in place first to do it right. Recall that it took about six months to set up Desert Storm.

As I posted somewhere earlier in the week, VENGEANCE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD! I am glad the President is taking his time; It would be worse to strike out and miss. I know we all want some retribution for the violence visited on us by bin Laden and his cohorts, but I'm glad our folks are getting all the little duckies in a row; the better to shoot them down when the time comes.

And the miss by the FBI and CIA is making them hyper-vigilant right now, which is getting a lot of folks caught up in the net. Some of those may not be conspirators, but some just might be, and we may have headed off some future terrorist actions.

I was just thinking that right now may be the safest time to fly anywhere because everyone is SO hyper-vigilant. Hubby is flying out to CA next week, and I realized this morning that I am not worried about it; I feel safer knowing that a lot is going on behind the scenes.

Bush and the team is concerned more about the quality of the strikes rather than the quantity. AN they will happen on his timetable not bin laden's, cnn's or public ipinions.

In this Bush is the Anti-Clinton, Thnaks God the Adults are in charge.
