#1 Funny, I thought we hit from a base in Qatar because our friends the Saudis didn't want us there this time.

#3 When will we get serious about the war on terror:

(1) tax incentives for decentralized solar power and laws demanding the right to have two way power meters. This provides power to the grid and lessons the value of power plants as targets (2) Biodesiel fuel. Its may not be good for sports cars but it can certainly run the SUVs at nearly the exact same speed and power and with all of the French Fries we eat we've could have tons for almost nothing.

This two step plan will take some time to kick in so we should begin it now. The tech is there, and once its going we eliminate one of the major sources of foreign policy problems in the world.

#6 When is the United States going to quit diddling around and accept we're at war with a large percentage of the population of the world? This asswipe is one of them, and he's certainly TELLING us, loud and clear.

You don't run away from people who have declared themselved your enemies, and have vowed to destroy you. You crush them, one way or another. Frankly, the United States has failed to address the problem for thirty years. It's time we started. Ruprecht has suggested one way. There are several hundred others we can try. Turning our backs on the problem and ignoring it, which has been pretty much what we've done in the past, is no longer a viable option. We need to pull our head out of the sand and start solving the problem we're facing.

#8 Re: Abdulaziz al-Moqrin and his threats

I've got a little list
I've got a little list
And they'll none of them be missed
They'll none of them be missed!

From Gilbert and Sullivan's, The Mikado

And that is what we need to do. People who make public threats have elected to put themselves in harm's way. After all, we take them at their word. We will not be loved, or even respected, but with these people we will be feared, and that is what is required to protect the American public.
