"America has suffered a mighty blow, both in the loss of lives and property. At such sorrowful times, the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, is expected to respond in a measured voice - one of calculated reason and calm resolve."
"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Bin Laden, you pissed on the wrong cowboy's boots today. We took measured steps in response to your acts of terror against us on foreign soil, in part out of respect to the countries on whose land these atrocious acts were committed."
"But, today starts a new era."
"We will not tolerate these acts of aggression and we will not tolerate those nations that aid and abet such acts. We will unleash our military power in full and mighty force."
"Tonight, I am putting you, the Taliban, and the nation of Afghanistan on notice. You have 72 hours to turn Bin Laden into American military authorities or we will launch a nuclear attack at your headquarters. This is not negotiable. Give him to us or become a giant glowing ash heap."
"After this launch, we will give you another 72 hours to turn over Bin Laden. If you fail to meet *this* deadline, we will launch a nuclear attack against Afghanistan and Iraq. If you fail to meet the next 72-hour deadline, we will launch an attack against Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan. We will then continue to launch missile attacks against any other Arab nation that houses terrorists, including Palestine, until we get the retribution we seek."
"Don't think for a second that I'll run out of missiles before you run out of real estate. If you want your half of the world to turn into a giant 18-hole golf course, well, pardner, that can be arranged."
"If there are any counterattacks against us or any of our allies before or after Bin Laden is given to our military, we will strike regardless of deadlines."
"I do not care what the international community might think of me. I don't care what some weak-willed pansied journalists think of me. I don't care if it leads to my defeat in 2004 or my assassination. It's time for swift justice to prevail and I'm the man with the bombs. Your clock starts now."
"Let the world take notice. Don't mess with me and don't mess with America, unless you want the buttwhippin' of your short life. Thank you and God bless America."

I'd want to put the fear of Allah into these jerks so bad that they'll either turn the guy in immediately to save themselves or dare us to nuke a place nobody cares about anyways. Either way, America will get a lot of the respect it has lost since 1991. After the first two deadlines have passed and three nukes have been launched clear across the world, I'll pretend I've been talked into having mercy on the rest.
Then, I'll wait for Ramadan and hit all the terrorist camps with smart bombs at the same time. We'll catch a lot of condemnation from the world stage but we'll have a much safer world and nobody would dare pick on us for two generations.
