If you like this article, you would absolutely love reading the book, The Hunt for Bin Laden, by Robin Moore. It's about the special ops activities in Afghanistan. Man, our guys did some major damage against those folks.

They had a snippet on the news with him speaking.
The food I was eating ended up plastered on the tv.
Guess it's not good to eat while watching the news......(at least not for the TV).

""Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts. The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test. God bless."--Remarks by President George W.
