We quit fighting the terrorists a long time ago. We have done nothing but retreat with only hellfire missile attacks and a few raids to appease the homefront. IF we would put our hearts into it as a nation these cockroaches would be banished back to the hellholes they come from. I'm not a huge Reagan fan but unleashing Bill Casey to handle the terrorist issue kept us safe for over a decade, he simply exterminated everyone that had any suspected link to terrorism. Yes assassination is against our self imposed rules but he used the method with great results. A few dozen well selected assassinations could go a long ways to solving our present problem.....or we could just make the middle east one big glass bowl.
A Stalin quote comes to mind;
"Death solves all problems - no man, no problem."
