Give bin Laden a firm return reply

Every year, the media gets keyed up by the tape and reminds U.S. citizens that bin Laden remains at large and dangerous, like a lowly viper in the grass.

And every year, about a week later, all mention of bin Laden is dropped and we forget about him until another tape is released in the following year. In the meantime, the United States is held hostage, waiting for the possibility of the next terrorist act being planned by the cowardly mongrel and his minions.

If we can use satellites to pinpoint ourselves through GPS; if we can use satellites to determine the location of stolen cars; if we can use satellites to spy on other countries, then let's use the satellites to find bin Laden once and for all and target his location and nuke them all no matter what country they are in. We can settle the diplomatic problems later.

Let's not wait until we get another tape. Let's send him a message of our own that says the United States is still the most powerful nation in the world and we refuse to put up with him and his cowardly acts against us.

We need to send that message now.
