The attacks took place in Pakistan, by the way. The supply lines point was made very well Friday by Robert Bryce over in the op-ed section.

WE NEED TO BE WILLING TO WIN... OR QUIT
We are at war with an intolerant, dogmatic religion that has always used the sword in order to convert by force and destroy the dissenters. . They still perceive the West as Christian ( how quaintly out of touch is that?) - In any event they are prepared to kill or convert all... and we, of course, are not. We don't really even understand the game...
Our lack of will regarding Cambodia in the Viet Nam War and China During the Korean War, insured that those countries would remain a source of refuge, supples and manpower for the enemy. The Pakistan issue is the same situations and, again, our lack of will -necessary to win- will insure our ultimate defeat, or at best, an uneasy, unresolved stalemate.
