up to 60 countries supporting perceived
terrorists face the "full wrath" of American
military might ... Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld told
American TV that the
country "had no choice" ... the use of ground troops may
be under consideration ... top officials
stressed on Sunday
that the problem was
much wider than just
one man ... if
you provide sanctuary to terrorists, you face
the full wrath of the United States of America."
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the
network behind the attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon probably
spanned 60 countries. "It is much bigger than
one person, the problem is much broader," he
said."
Yeah what about adding the US itself on this list, probably the biggest terrorist state humanity has ever known lol!
Just because they say that terrorists are operating in 60 nations doesn't mean the US is planning to attack 60 nations & suggesting that it does simply undermines our credibility.
The US certainly is partly responsible for bin Laden, as well as for the broader phenomena of Islamic fundamentalist terror, and that is a point that bears considerable repeating and elaboration. But sensationalizing or distorting what they're saying now is a cheap shot approach we ought to stay away from.
