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.

What this legislation tells me is that the US government is willing to use any and ALL tools at its command to bring these animals down and I really don't give a rats a$$ what the rest of the world thinks about our military. It's proven itself in the past and will prove itself in the future. I simply don't think it's an answer to every problem that we face.

I mean jeez. It was the military bureaucracy that prevented us from getting Mullah Omar the first night. Too hide-bound. Too many lawyers involved in a govt organization anymore and it will take years and ALOT of deaths to change that.

As Hack said in an article a year or so ago, we've got more officers and NCO's than we've got trigger pullers. And every one of those officers and NCO's believe in the book and NOTHING but the book. And that adds up to paperwork and red-tape that a private organization doesn't have.
