Off-topic political discussion about U.S. military response to the USS Cole attack, with debate over appropriate retaliation strategy and criticism of government handling.
If that had been an Israeli warship attacked in Aden, do you think they'd be sending in 50 explosives and counter-terrorism experts to determine if if was indeed a 'terrorist act'??
And would 'their' politicians' be "pondering" an appropriate response??
I think if it were an Israeli ship, the West Bank would be the "South Bank" by now...
What a bunch of wusses we've become!
LCol homerr..
We'll probably bomb someone after Clinton and his advisors find another aspirin factory to bomb, like last time. They're also probably waiting until a new scandal pops up so our attack can push the scandal out of the headlines. We haven't had a new Clinton scandal in about a week or two so the bombing will probably take place soon. Stay tuned.
Yeah, that's what they'll do. If they can't find any orphanages to bomb, of course.
Who would the US attack????

Thanks for asking.. Remember The Maine - Remember Pearl Harbor - Remember The Cole.
Immediate and overwhelming action should have been launched against "every" known terrorist base, training facility, and command center. Terrorists are a "nation" without borders, and an Army without credentials.
CIA, DIA, ONI, Interpol, and Mossad monitor these people constantly, and know exactly where they are. If they aren't stopped now, they will continue.
People like Arafat and Bin Laden would be a great place to start.

You forgot to "Remember the Alamo".

Hey, I watch your TV stations. I thought the US was the "good guys." What's this bombing orphanages stuff? :-) ... Harm from JAG would never do that - oh yeah, he's Canadian. :-)

I sure did, didn't I. Unintentional, I assure you.. unless you think I'm trying to provoke Elaine into 'spanking' me!!!
They know how to "take" reservations.. they just don't know how to "hold" them. Sounds like WWII... the Japs [with apologies to Tanaka] knew how to take islands.. they just didn't know how to hold 'em... brings it back on topic nicely, eh???
What's
that -
This was very funny.
Thanks Homey.
What did you mean by mentioning Israel?

If you ask me, "Which way to Israel?." You don't see me getting all upset.
BTW - That line seems to have been cut from the syndicated version of The Cigar Store Indian. Does anyone know what Jerry exactly said?
"....if somebody asks me 'which way is Israel?' I don't fly off the handle!"
