More clearer? More Clearer?? I hear that most junior colleges offer adequate remedial English courses. You might consider it while you wait.

Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
Dubya may just want bin Laden/the Taliban to think he can't get the group together.

This period of mourning and Patriotism can be likened to a calm before a storm. Put your faith and trust in he whom we elected and you will see that Americas patriots of freedom and democracy elected the right person. And in your prayers, thank God that Gore was unsuccessful in his bid to steal the election. For if that did happen we would undoubtedly be in Deep Poop!!!!!

I'm really astonished how many people are jumping the gun on this. Enough Monday morning quarterbacking. Bush is railroading Muslim nations into assisting in ensuring the total anhialation of Bin Laden and his people. He's NOT telling these states he won't take swift and decisive action against them once Bin Laden's finished and we've uncovered evidence justifying bringing the full brunt of our resources (and the international coalition's) against them as well (not to mention if they so much as look at us the wrong way). And rest assured, Saddam won't survive this war either.

One at a time, guys. And let's do it right. Fools rush in. I believe Bin Laden's network is completely hamstrung right now and the Taliban are doomed. Time's on our side, not their's. They may be able to pull off a few relatively small acts of terror, but nothing on the scale we've already witnessed. If they were capable of effectively unleashing bio/chemical weapons on a large scale against us, they should have done it before we thoroughly dialed up our intelligence and domestic security. For Bin Laden to have succeeded in this game, he needed to hit a number of cities hard and suddenly to really paralyze our economy and our ability to act. Now his remaining cells are in pieces, his funds frozen or else otherwise useless to him, the Taliban are defecting, the Northern Alliance is advancing on Kabul, the Afganistan borders are closed, and the military might of America and her allies are closing in with single-minded purpose. As FDR's speech writer so eloquently coined, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." The war on terrorism is in excellent hands.

Upon what information or great personal insight do you offer this statement?

And please also enlighten us with the details of your plan only three weeks after the fact? What coalition would you have built? What Army Divisions, Navy Battle Groups and USAF air wings would you have mobilized for the attack? Where would they be based? How long would it have taken them to get in position? And after they are forward how do you supply and sustain them with bullets, missiles, food, jet fuel, maps, intelligence, etc, etc? Do you really think the last adminsitration left anything near "go to war" stockage levels on those essentials?

Get a life. Instead of complaining because you are impatient to send someone else into battle be grateful that you have a President who has chosen to surround himself with a cast of professionals. They'll do the right thing. At the right time. And not a day sooner.

Bush has a cat doesn't he ? I love to watch cats catch and kill mice. They are never, ever in a rush. The patiently wait for the mouse to make a mistake and they pounce. Then they play with it until they are bored and finally kill it.

If these guys were inside our borders we would be surrounding them and waiting them out. Is it a bad strategy if we get ourselves in a posistion where bin Laden cannot have access to cash, has no outside communications, no allies that can assist him, we purchase the favor of the Taliban with 300 million, we get closer to his hidden cells in the US and we slowly tighten the noose on the political, economic and military fronts ?

As long as we control the board, so to speak, whats the rush ?

[boycott]

Let's just drop a few A-bombs and go home.

[aculeus]

One reason for going slowly (which I'm sure our leaders but not most FR posters) have considered: it gives the world police more time to locate the terrorists among us.

Every one arrested is one less potential deliverer of OBL's retaliation for our upcoming attacks.

A neat move out of Germany: the police are using electric usage data bases to locate rented apartments that are empty. They may be safe houses for terrorists.

There has been so much disinformation being passed around out here that I don't believe any of it. One thing is for certain, though. You don't send five aircraft carriers to the Indian Ocean just to give some Navy sailors a long tropical vacation.

You know I really want to support the President...I campaigned for him and voted for him. I actually spent more time working for him the month leading up to the VA primary than I did at work, but he's making it harder and harder. He's ratcheting down the rhetoric big time. When's the last time you heard him refer to the horrible assault on America as an act of war? Now it's an incident. Then the business this week supporting a Palestinian State, if that's not terrorist appeasement then I don't know what is. But I really got a sick feeling in my gut when they changed the name of the operation so as not to offend the terrorists. (No, I don't mean Arab coalition partners...I mean terrorists)

I'm not saying that he won't do the right thing...in my heart I know that Bush and Cheney are truly good men and I know that they love their country. I'm praying for patience.

Oh he'll do something all right, he has to if he has any hopes of remaining in the White House. I see no need for trying to take out just Osama and his network only, why not take the entire Taliban out? Before we attack them I guess Bush wants to give them all one last meal.

[Kozak]

Look in the sky. See that big bright thing at night? The moon. New moon is coming on the 16th. Look for our responce some time between the 14th and the 18th.

Look theres the "Clinton way": leak like mad, toss a few cruise missles at empty tents declare victory and go home, and theres the RIGHT WAY. Maximum preparation, air tight security, and overwhelming, focused force.

I am sure that we are going about this the RIGHT WAY.

Patience, Patience.....

[gunshy]

If nothing happens by the dark of the moon, I'll agree with you. Until then, it's prudent to wait and say nothing that may embarrass us later.
