The UN will run off into the sunset like the 11 Chicken Little Ds. I expect no great things from them - not even the courage to stand up to the likes of those who want to exterminate civilization.

"I condemn this action."-- and that's all they'll do. And the world applauds their sense of justice. Stupid.

I'm no expert on classical guerrilla warfare,

but this looks like PHASE II of a classical guerrilla war, creating more terror and disruptions and chaos

And they want to know what the West is going to do about it.

If George W. Bush has his way, we're going to win.

Godspeed, Mr. President.

In 1993, terrorists rammed a truck bomb into the World Trade Center.

Oh come on, John. They just parked the truck in the underground garage and walked away.

Our media is part of the problem. They are NOT TELLING THE TRUTH about these fiends from hell. The future will look back on the media of our times and judge them accordingly.

Bomb us again and we will condemn you in even stronger terms. " Now go away, before I taunt you a second time! ".

"And just guess what Clinton did then? Oh, not much. Besides, he was on his way out of office, leaving behind him a trail of amusing pardons."

Some of us do NOT find it "amusing" that one of Slick's pardons was for the murdering terrorist Puerto Rican thugs who staged an attack on Congress!

Boy, talk about "Test FAILED!"

The UN will run off into the sunset

If I may, The UN will first blame the US, then run off into the sunset.

In September of 2001 they crashed three planes into buildings. The United States toppled two of the most evil government on earth, and begun hunting down Arab terrorists as fast as they could. Let's not forget that part.

"I condemn this action." in the strongest possible terms.

You forgot that part.

What does that mean anyway?

"is PHASE III , assassinations ????????"

If it is, it has already begun, with the elimination of the Hussein brothers, and hopefully will continue until every last one of these vermin are completely eradicated!

in PHASE IV, the stock market goes back to 11,000....
