I got the crocodile out and beat him severely but couldn't get one tear.
Mr. Harrison, you miss the whole point.
When dealing with terrorists we have to play on a level field, goal posts in the same position at the end of the game as well as the start. For years these (please feel free to use your own terms of description) have used our civil, humane, law abiding system against us.
Not only has it cost us millions to catch these misbegotten serial rapists and murderers of their own people, never mind our sons and daughters, we then give them top flight defence lawyers that our own citizens can't even afford and allow them to laugh at us while in custody.
A prime example was in their first attempt to blow up the World Trade Centre.
The Americans held the master bomber and planner in jail in New Jersey. A judge ruled that he must be given his personal possessions including his books on bomb making. He was then allowed to use the prison phone to direct his group.
My point? Somebody got some sense and changed our rules for their rules.
If you have clear information that a combatant has and is responsible for terrorist acts, then do what they do to our soldiers, the people they kidnap, the families they hold hostage for the rest of their lives in the pain of loss.
Whether President Obama was right or wrong, please defend to the families of their victims, these murdering, torturing, eye gouging, genital removing, multiple rapist, child and woman slaughtering (please don't let your imagination go any farther because theirs can) and step up and tell me you didn't get an immediate sigh of relief.
I have no doubt that there will be a reaction from his followers. Let's stop messing about with Seal Team 6. Send the SAS in after them. If you want them taking out in the high mountains, send the Ghurkhas, it's their own turf.
I've whacked the crocodile twice more. He still won't cry.
