What unspeakable effrontery! Did The New York Times write a single editorial admonishing the Government to beware of such a threat? Fact is, it was a brilliant surprise attack.

The good news is they have lost the element of surprise... for a long, long time. While the damage and death toll were horrible, we have some solace in the fact that our Government and military are largely intact and highly motivated. We have the cooperation of almost all of the civilized world.

There will be additional costs, but we WILL prevail.
