This has been our deterrence policy since the 1960's that I know of. The Clintoon changed some of the strike back policies while he was destroying the intel and strike back capabilities of America. GW quietly informed the heads terrorist countries that we will strike back and maybe pre empt strikes last week. That cause some stink around terror land as their depends over flowed. They like to send young suicide bombers out but not put them selves in harm's way.
So is this for real folks or is this disinformation?
Nice for all of the left wing fish wraps to get the message out re the big stick.
