My one 9/11 wish.

Would be that the very last thing Osama bin-Laden hears on this Earth is "Rangers Lead The Way, Muthafucka!"

Sorry if this puts anyone off, but it's how I think. I want him dead, shot down like a dog. Buried face-down with his feet pointing towards Mecca. Make sure a chaplain is there to give him a good Christian service.

Either that or have him marched down 5th Avenue in chains as New Yorkers get to pelt him with garbage (pork encouraged!)

Six years. We still hurt, but we're still here.

Some folks would be surprised that I agree.

I think we fucked up from the the beginning.

We should have declared blood oath. Pick a term that makes it personal in the local cultures. "You killed our friends and family, we're gonna get you."

Then we should have dropped a couple of dozen special ops teams in Afghanistan with the sole mission "Get him!"

Followed up with a couple of thousand support troops. More supply line, then combat.

Then come the diplomats with the checkbooks.

2 months tops. We would have had him and the respect of the world. And every other would be terrorist would be shaking in his boots that if they did anything, they would be next.

But that wouldn't have given us an excuse for imperialist adventures to grab oil and spread the neocon vision of "democracy" (where El Jefe and his men do whatever the hell they want, with no checks or oversight)...
