		<description>With all due respect Buck,i don&#039;t give a damn about Bush anymore. I am in the here and now. Yeah...we *found* one of the participants.....or a well paid scape goat. I am appalled at Obama&#039;s handling of the Libya slaughter. Some leader we have....the village idiot.</description>

		<description>That Bush never tried to pin 911 on Saddam?  Or that he never started an 8 year war in Iraq?</description>

		<description>We have the name of one of the participants.  They are holding off because there are factions within that organization and they want to determine who exactly is to blame before striking.

The hypocrisy you spew is sickening.  Really.  W blamed Saddam for 911 and started an 8 year war.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It was a literary reference from &lt;em&gt;Fahrenheit 451.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When Montag escapes into the woods, the government kills someone else instead with their version of a drone--a robot hound.  They do this on national TV, concealing the fact that this person is not actually Montag.  Honor is satisfied, and the government is seen as successful.

Speaking as a cynic, it&#039;s possible Obama will engage in a highly-public attack on anyone at all that can be blamed for this attack.  For the record, if he finds the real guys I would support such an attack, but I suspect he might not be that careful.

		<description>I guess you didn&#039;t read the article?  

But I won&#039;t take that bet on a pre-election drone strike. :-)</description>

I&#039;m laying heavy odds on a spectacular drone attack before the election.</description>
