SIMPLY KILL THESE BASTARDS

By STEVE DUNLEAVY

September 12, 2001 -- THE response to this unimaginable 21st century Pearl Harbor should be as simple as it is swift - kill the bastards.

No, I don't mean hunt them, arrest them, extradite them and prosecute them in a court of law.

I mean a far quicker and neater form of retribution for this cabal of cowards. A gunshot between the eyes, blow them to smithereens, poison them if you have to.

President George W. Bush should right now be putting his name to a fresh document - one that rescinds Executive Order 12333, signed by President Gerald Ford on Feb. 18, 1976.

It reads in part: "No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States should engage in assassination or conspire to engage in assassination."

Right for that time, wrong for this time.

Train assassins (we've done it before), hire mercenaries, put a couple of million bucks up for bounty hunters to get them dead or alive, preferably dead.

As for cities or countries that host these worms, bomb them into basketball courts.

No, it won't bring back the thousands of innocents and the brave cops and firefighters lost, but it might stop the sacrifice of other innocents.

"This is an act of war of an enormity that is staggering," Sen. John McCain of Arizona said yesterday.

Former Secretary of State Gen. Alexander Haig said: "We should be ready to take resolute action, which we have failed to in the past."

The point is that Osama bin Laden has been at war with us for a decade - make no mistake, he's behind the attacks.

At the beginning of the year, he issued a video to his followers urging them "to penetrate" the United States.

Only three weeks ago, he was quoted in an Arabic newspaper saying he was preparing a big action against our country.

He is the sole individual who has the billions of dollars, the training camps and the fanatics to have perpetrated this sophisticated bloodbath.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said yesterday: "This wasn't planned in a handful of homes by a handful of fanatics."

When we put a rocket in the pocket of Moammar Khadafy, he went as quiet as a mouse.

If the CIA can't find this ameba Osama Bin Laden, leave it to someone else.

We should give the Taliban, which protects this monster, 24 hours to clear the city of Kabul of innocent civilians and then start the process of urban renewal with high-altitude bombing.

Then we should go into the interior, hunt down the desert rat and execute him and his followers on the spot.

And if Saddam Hussein makes so much as a peep, do him, too.

The time has come.

...start the process of urban renewal with high-altitude bombing.

Sounds like a plan.
