Had the President made the comment that he had to get back to the office so he could figure out which countries he was going to blow off the face of the earth by the time the sun comes up tommorrow, I bet that a lot of governments would have coughed up a lot of terroists, OBL would have been first.

We are beginning to see our own governments ineptitude. Clearly, there was no excuse for the planes being hijacked in the first place. But, whats done is done. What we have control of now is the air traffic system. To keep it shut down is a victory for the terroists. Really now, just how hard is it to interview and search all existing passengers, and put an armed guard on a plane so that those whose journey's were interuppeted can continue. So far, I only see spin but no substance coming from the government. A few inflammitory statements designed to ruffle some feathers and instill fear in our enemies would be just fine with me. B52 overflights would be good. WE WILL REBUILD would have been a good statement. Prepare for the long haul, no matter how painful and expensive it will be, because the government knows no other way.
