It's a matter of having the best armed forces in the world, All wrapped up in "rules of engagement" and a thousand pounds of other bureaucratese. Having to go through a chain of command 10 miles long in order to get from place to place? Heavens only knows what kind of paperwork.

The terrorists have none of this. They can move on the spur of the moment and the military can't. We're not fighting a terror war, we're fighting the gulf war all over again. Bomb them til he pops up. Only, he ain't poppin. And the govt has no clue where he is at and afganis aren't likely to be talking to the mohawked guy hiding in the bush with information either.

Fine, let the military try. But I just don't minds to be closed to the availability of this course of action in case the military fails to flush him out.

Nothing NOW prohibits weekend Rambos from trying to collect the reward on Osama's head.

What this legislation does is tell the world that our military sucks, and we need pirates.
