For you, that other group out there, the ones that found it necessary to attack the most powerful nation on the planet, I have a special message. This is not a threat, it is history, and present, and future. It is my job, and now it is my distinct pleasure, to work for the Department of Defense. Over one million people and myself, are all now working towards your certain destruction. Uniforms, coveralls, lab coats, and blue jeans, we are all very skilled, and now, we are all very, very focused on removing you from the face of the earth.

Pearl Harbor was the last time a foreign enemy succeeded in the destruction of a large number of our countrymen on our own soil. The eventual outcome of that cowardly and unprovoked attack was the only use of atomic weapons in war on this planet. The steel in Truman that allowed him to snuff out two cities in less time than it takes to order dinner is still in us. The cooperative spirit that brings us all together in the face of a common enemy is still in us. The absolutely cold, calculating, and abiding hatred of those that attack us is still here, and you have done us the service of once again aiming it at a single target.

Since that time, the United States has not lost it's technological edge, either. The Germans build cars, the Japanese build video games, the Swiss build watches, and the Americans, well, the Americans are the finest weaponeers on the planet.

We began on a hostile frontier under harsh conditions, we expanded, and grew across the continent, we protected liberty throughout the world, and we invented. The light bulb, the ironclad, the telephone, the airplane, the PC; we invented the Kentucky rifle, the Gatling gun, the Colt automatic pistol, and in only a century and a half, we learned to unleash the power of the atom on those that dared to attack us.

I currently work on a system that can see into your camps, see into your homes, see into the cold dark hiding places you will seek, and I will find you. Not me personally, most likely, but the brave men and women, the patriots, I work for and with everyday. Your attack has spurred us into action, not just the military, but truckers and miners and steel mill workers, waitresses and teachers and bankers and politicians.

You saw shellshocked victims in the streets of New York, you saw the American flag hanging from the cracked and broken walls of the Pentagon. You saw Congress singing "America the Beautiful" and thought it was merely propaganda, but rest assured, we sang along. Tomorrow you will see us all mourn. But after the mourning, which is invariably short in this country, you will see us all again.

On thumping helicopter blades, on shrieking cruise missiles, on roaring tank tracks, on swept wings at well over the speed of sound, we will come for you, and we will have no mercy, as you had no mercy on our family, our friends, and our countrymen this week. And then we may mourn again.

Consider this fair warning.

I ask you, my friends here, my fellow Americans, to please repost this, to send it out, to let the criminals that we will soon find know, that we are still here, and that they have only to wait for us to come.
