THE United States must be prepared to take the War on Terror to up to 60 countries if weapons of mass destruction are to be kept out of terrorists’ hands, President Bush said at the weekend.

Why do I get the feeling that this is not quite the way it was said?

Maybe because 9 months after Sept. 11th, we haven't even hit the top 3 countries that sponsor terrorism. We're chasing al-Qaeda all over the hills of Afghanistan while the real perpetrators are sitting in the halls of government in Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia laughing their heads off.

I think you are correct. I am sure that President Bush was not suggesting that we invade 60 countries. Probably we will be targeting terrorist cells in upwards of 60 countries. In friend;y nations, like France, we will likely work with local police/armed forces. In unfriendly areas, we may resort to covert action. That may be what he meant.
