....capabilities of war fighters of the United States of America. Don't factor in, long term, the timidity of its current crop of politicians, Republicans and Democratica alike, excepting McCain, who understands war.

When the time is ripe, political leadership will emerge, as it always has in our history of perils, when those in Washington will release the dogs of war that are even now on a short lease. The "terrorists" will push their advantage too far, and all hell will break lose.

Political correctness is a fade for the complacent and comfortably elite. Once the threat touches them, things will quickly shift, as they always have. The "moderate" Muslims are waiting for that to happen, too, for it will be to their long term benefit, as well as the planet's.
