Did you hear Colin "Milquetoast" Powell's interview?
The first interview he gave after the towers were attacked, after he got back to the U.S., was so full of equivocation and slipperiness that it was disgusting. Granted, it's the secretary of defence's job to operate the armed forces, it's the secretary of state's job to help set foreign policy. In this case, the foreign policy should be "We will hunt you down."
That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington
