On the other hand, if you think that it is a no brainer that our patrols will be attacked, that we will then respond with overwhelming force, and that the French and the UN will then have to grit their teeth and say that our response to the attacks on our patrols was justified (and say that President Bush was correct to try for a peace that the terrorists were too stupid to live with), then this agreement can only be viewed as utterly, totally, completely brilliant.

The UN will never allows us to defeat the to defeat the terrorists. Our leaders promised overwhelming force after the initial mutilations.

Now you think it is brilliant that they are going to send more brave soldiers to their deaths on these doomed patrolls so that they will have yet another excuse to the UN so that they can finally use overwhelming force!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw the UN and screw you. How many more have to die needlessly before the gloves come off? Do we need another 3000 inocents slaughtered on our soil?

Yes. IMO that's what it's going to take.

No...next time it will be more. 3000 wasn't enough to make mainstream America come to their senses. God help us.

Yes they did. Repeatedly.
