There is nothing that you CAN'T offend these people with. They have put the world's foot into a cowpie, yet have the temerity to complain to us about the smell.

I really didn't need my own resolve strengthened after last Tuesday, but each new day brings something that increases it.

"Infinite Justice" is bad metaphor. We want justice to be final; that means it can't be infinite. My sense of proper English is infinitely offended.

I suppose we could call it "Operation Smackdown." or "Operation We Win, You Lose."

If the clerics aren't pissed we ain't pushing hard enough, at this stage of the game clerics should probably be considered equivalent to... canarys-in-a-coal-mine.

>>>To which Rumsfeld replied that we would not name it anything that might be offensive!<<<

The USA would certainly not want to offend the Jihad; however, the LORD God uses man to bring justice so "Infinite Justice" for the LORD God by the USA would be more appropriate!

My thoughts?

I am disgusted. I feel betrayed.

Hearing Rumsfeld dance around that news conference has literally made me sick to my stomach. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are officially screwed.

This is a historic moment in history, an opportunity for the Bush administration to strike at the heart of barbarism and terrorism in the world. An opportunity to assert that America is again the chief exporter of freedom and prosperity in the world. An opportunity to make the deaths of those people who died on 9/11 mean something..

But it looks like thats not going to happen. Instead we are getting another ineffectual "war on drugs". The wave of national pride and unity we are feeling will wane as each day passes without decisive action... or at least the beginning or a decisive action. And information will leak out, as it always does, telling us who did this, and when our government knew, and we will be left scratching our heads.

I sit here with the Dow down another 300 points today and the whole country waiting, watching, and hoping for some action to show that we are on top of this situation, that we are again safe to go about our lives. I look at pictures of the still smoking rubble in Manhattan, with the very blood of those people calling out for vengeance.

Instead we get Rumsfeld so careful not to offend even our enemies that he cannot even handle the use of the word "combat" in the context of this action.

It could be that this is all a smoke screen, trying to lull Iraq and Afghanistan into a false sense of security. If so, I will be the first to post here and apologize.

But for now, I wish Gore had won. He wouldn't be handling the situation any better, but at least we would have expected it.

Good luck with the speech tonight, Mr. President, it might be the most important of your presidency... and determine how many terms that presidency consists of. I pray its not too late to sieze this moment and make it all of ours.

Infinite Justice sounds good to me. I thought PC was now dead and buried, along with the 5,000 buried under the WTC wreckage. Why do we want to placate these people?

So sorry they are offended. However I and many Americans are offended that our country was attacked. I am offended that I no longer can safely fly, I am offended that my tax dollars will have to be used fighting evil fanatics.

Also, I am very offended that every day continually some of my liberty to act, to wear what I want, to say what I want, to pray when and where I want is denied because it offends someone.

It is time for those who are so offended to quit trying to take away my personal freedom to live, think, pray, and talk in this country. They are offensive to me and from now on I will specifically state that fact.

This politically correct nonsense has been done - time to move on and get over it.

INFINITE JUSTICE it shall be.

In earlier crusades, this was the first thing the barbarians, heretics and infidels saw when we retaliated.

Nowadays, thisis the last thing many of them will see before they finally meet their "Allah."

Message to terrorists and others who hate America: You can run, but, you can't hide from us now!

I think it is time for the politically correct to go hide in the corner where cowards belong.

I think the Muslims have our number in more ways than we know. They are going to whine and moan about everything, knowing full well that political correctness has paralyzed this nation. Ain't going to work, babies!

I'm offended that Bush said he wants them "dead or alive." I don't want them alive-they should be killed on the spot

Hey, the name is perfect. If only Allah can provide Infinite Justice, then our campaign can help them meet Allah.

Oh, and I wouldn't want a name for the war that might offend our enemies.

So "Infinite Justice" is offensive? Okey dokey, scratch that one from the list. Here's a few more possibilities:

Operation Smoking Camels
Operation Allah Allah Oxen Free
Operation Turban Disturbin'
Operation Make a Wreck o' Mecca
Operation Afghan Hound
Operation Kabul Kaboom
Operation Permanent Midnight at The Oasis
Operation Falafel Feel Awful

and my personal favorite:

American Badass

Wait til the military action gets going, THEN they'll be really offended.
