Thank you and I agree with you and Kjam22 in all respects. We americans, who want justice for our 7,000 murdered countrymen are in for serious disappointment. That it has been coming has been of little doubt since two or three days after the event. This is probably alot more what the "patience" has been about than anything else. Patience until we forget what has happened to us and the flags start coming down or simply become part of the background noise we ignore everyday.

I may have been misunderstood. I agree with you that we are in for a serious disapointment. In the end they will give us Bin Ladden and a handful of associates. We'll make a show about it... and terrorism will go on about its merry way.

We are on a mission of appeasement... because we are scared of war. And we will lose this war.... because we are scared of war.

Full statements, full statements. No conclusion can be reached if we don't have full statements from Powell 9and others) and I have seen none on this thread. It is in MSNBC's leftist interest to try to get the American people comfortable with the idea that we have "given up." We face an internal disinformation campaign by the media.

I can say this. One more terrorist attack on our soil, especially if it is nuclear, biological, or chemical, and America will be in mad dog mode again.

I understand your frustration and I feel the same way. I hope we're both wrong. I want to "see the ambers dancing". And I think that's what it's going to take to get this country out of our funk. I sell new homes for a living and believe me, it's gone South big time this month. Everyone is in a state of funk. Polls show 70% of this country is depressed. A few cruise missiles, even if they are only going up a camel's ass, would work wonders for our attitude.
