He said it was an act of war. He did not minimize it to a small group being responsible. Made specific mention, again, to them thinking they have safe harbors, but that will not be the case forever.
He is taking the steps to prepare us for a long, brutal, but decisive fight.
Jesus! "I hope it's not a long brutal decisive fight".
I pray that it is short and sweet and to the point with all concerned taken care of.
And no doubts about who is responsible!!
