No UN resolution, no congressional approval, it would be an ALL OUT seek and destroy mission into every nook and crannie thoughout the world til every last one of them lie dead and rotting.
It would be IMMEDIATE retribution.
That being said, how many Islamics have died in tragic accidents of all type since 911? Is the 'religion of peace' becoming the religion of the accident victim?
Who was the Freeper that received a visit from the Secret Service over his Clinton comments in the forum?
