#1 I bet he thinks the number of our troops lost is way too high - when it suits his rhetorical purposes.

#2 In a way he's right, because we didn't lose enough lives in the 9/11 attack.

He wasn't killed in it.

There's a special seat in HELL waiting for this asshole - right between Sad-ass and his sons.

#4 ... although Islamist extremists can certainly do huge amounts of harm around the world, it is quite different to suggest that they can threaten the existence of the United States.

The great threat to the existence of the United States are traitors to its Constitution, its founding principles and its liberty; the author of this article being a prime example. He should be tarred and feathered.

#5 this moron definitely does not understand the muzzy ideology. They kill one of ours, well kill a hundred of theirs. That, sadly, is all they understand.

#7 Wonder if he teaches about Roosevelt's 'complete overreaction' to the events of 12/7/1941?

#8 Bit by bit, these defeatist assholes have been chipping away at our resolve. And it's working.

The next terrorist attack on American soil, Job One had better be rounding these bastards up and getting them out of the way so we can fight back unhindered. Enough of this bullshit.

#10 xbalanke hits it spot on, and I thought the exact same thing when I just read the first paragraph. Using #s like this will be different in different arguments. I bet he goes absolutely @pe-$h!t when one of our soldiers is blown up, but doesn't get the irony in saying 3,000 dead on 9/11 "wasn't enough."

#11 Maybe the bad guys should learn that it is U.S. policy to over react to every mass murder of Americans. Maybe it is U.S. policy to be incredibly more violent, incredibly more deadly, and incredibly more aggressive than the original mass murderers of Americans. Maybe the bad guys should learn that the days of bombing and killing Americans, without a reaction, are as much in the past as the 10th century to which they want to return.
