I just can’t help but think…

Never underestimate the “cowboy” from Texas.

“Sooner or later they will need to see what it means to fight America…”

Amen, brother.

That “In the crosshairs of US forces” clickable link was interesting. I notice that Petraeus was in the meetings.

Another recent article in the NY Sun makes me go hmmmm…..

I have to admit, I think Bin Ladin might be dead as well.

Found an interesting paragraph in a NYT article describing the Marines success in Southern Afghanistan:

â€œThe majority of elements in this area are Arab and Pakistani, and the locals detest them,â€ he said. The insurgent commanders were from Iran, which shares a border with Afghanistan to the southwest, as well as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, he said.

Hmmm.

My largest concern in this area is the new government of Pakistan.
They have been making deals with the Taliban: Cease-fires, prisoner exchanges and withdrawals of the military from certain areas with the understanding that the Taliban will not attack them.

I think it would be more healing for the American psyche, not to mention more damaging to the cause of the jihadis, to CAPTURE bin-Laden, and bring him back for execution. The fact is, a missile hit on his cave or tent might leave no DNA to prove we had killed him, and he has probably accumulated enough audio for his minions to patch together to pretend he was alive for some time after he’s toes up.

I recommend that a special execution, by executive order, be arranged to occur at Ground Zero in New York.

Am I letting my emotions interfere with reason here?
