Capture terrorists or suspected terrorist, but don't imprison them "unjustly". If we are going to win this war, lets fight them with the same tactics.....no fucking rules, baby.
Get ready for islamic extremism, they are not done with us by any means, and as each day passes without another attack on American soil, the more complacent America grows, worrying over personal wealth issues.
I am quite confident Obama will get his turn in the terrorism barrel. That, my friends, will be when we find out what kind of president we have.
Will he work the root and tell Pakistan we're coming for them,. like it or not? Until someone has the cods to do just that, there will be a steady stream of them.
Oh yeah.........and accept collateral damage and deal with the negative repercussions of such.

Which is exactly and precisely what William Jefferson Clinton did, and you all called him a liberal wienie for it. Oh, wait, he didn't stand up and beat his chest before and after and tell the terrorists what he was gonna do and then brag about what he'd done. He recognized that terrorists are most profitably fought in secret, but then he was more concerned about actually saving American lives, not making a big and ineffectual show that costs more than it saves just to get votes.

Considering the underfunded state of our Coast Guard and our Navy's inability to stop pirates off Somalia, it is doubtful such an attack would even be detected until it was successfully underway.
Of course, the attackers would have no hope of getting away, but that is no problem to Islamic suicide jihadis.

Shit, why haven't I thought of this. I'm going to get freighter full of Haitians and some Zodiacs right away.
Oh, wait, the territorial waters are two HUNDRED miles out, not 13 any more.
Gee, this is still brilliant tho. I mean noone will ever notice a several thousand ton unregistered freighter with no papers just trundling up and down the shore. All our satellites and radar are useless, of course. I wonder why the Germans never thought of landing saboteurs from subs, or why smuggling isn't the biggest industry in the US
Jefferson Christsmas why don't you just go and actually look for them under your bed, you're more likely to find them there.
