This is one of the most hideous actions in the history of mankind and I doubt that will go unanswered, if anything because the President knows that anything but a strong response means political suicide.

I agree. The scope and scale of this attack is beyond anything we've seen in over a century. Pearl Harbor wasn't this devastating... and at least it was a viable(military) target.
This was just horrendous - devastating and malicious beyond anything our nation has yet faced. To stand by and do virtually nothing (air strikes & rhetoric) would be political suicide.

There is ZERO chance that we will just "blow this off." Someone, some place is going to get some "air mail" as of result of these actions.

Politicians by there very nature look out for #1. They know the US demands retribution. They will make someone pay even if they get the wrong guys. IMHO

I'm somewhat into WWII, but I'm bad about remembering numbers.
Let's say 10,000 people died today. Did we lose that many troops in any one battle in WWII? |

I sure as shit EXPECT some retribution and QUICKLY!!!
I am normally against protests and whatnot... but if a month or two goes by and we treat this like the USS Cole or the first WTC bombing... I for one will support any kind of movement to get something done! --Kyle btw... I've turned off the BBS censor for now... I'll turn it back on tomorrow. |

Clint, hell yeah, we lost 10,000+ in some battles of wwII. My mind is spinning and I can't grasp which ones, but I KNOW there are at least 2.
I think 10k dead is a very low estimate. I think there will be at least 30,000. |

Bob Dole's estimate as the second tower crumbled was 30k+.
It's time to start kcking some a$$. We've got legitimate names already. Screw the careful investigation. Bob Dole expects to see some tangible action by midnight. |

Hopefully the numbers, although bad, won't be that bad. MSN has a report from a guy who was on the 81st floor of the first tower. He says everyone (139 people) made it to the ground from there.

Oh, this will be answered, and answered hard. An action of this magnitude will not go unanswered, the American people will see to that. And on top of that, as shallow and callous as it sounds right now, Bush knows that what he does in response to this action and how he leads us will define his presidency, so he's not going to kick back and relax...

Dole,
it would be nice to see action taken by midnight, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I trust completely that W isn't gonna let this slide, but I don't expect anything that soon. Hope I'm wrong though, because a major strike that soon after the act is something that needs to be done, and that hasn't happened in quite some time.
