never mind his remarks. this is beyond bush, and we will need about 300-400 thou additional troops on stand-by to occupy certain countries, as selected air strikes don't do the whole job. how fast we will move on this, i don't know.
this is a real war, and there are too many people and countries aiding and abetting. it is also a real, but sad eye opener for our mideast policy.
there are potential bombing and invasions of lybia and afghanistan for a start.
potential terrorist attacks on selected targets in "easy" third world countries may follow in a few days or weeks. this was diabolic intelligence at its worst; extremely well coordinated and designed to kill as many people as possible. there are probably thousands, if not tens of thousand of religious fanatics willing to commit suicidal acts like today's.
air transportation has come to a standstill, banking partially in suspense. communications is the real sensitive issue here; the one thing that can stop all, and has to be safeguarded by all means.
there is much secrecy at the moment and all is not known. there are too many people all over, like the sec. of defense in bogota, who should have cancelled whatever engagement he had this morning, before the attack.
just about the whole defense and related have gone to the mattresses and are "incommunicated".
u.s. dept. of defense was on a semi-alert by 6am est or so, but never expected that type of attack.
without question, this is a direct result of the escalation of the weapons and attacks in the middle east and it just took a giant step today.
