The U.S. has one option: Wherever terrorists operate, the U.S. will bring them down, an increase in the national defense budget so the military will have everything it needs to fight this war on terror. Afghanistan is only the beginning of a lengthy campaign. We will find and defeat any enemy of the U.S. -- words from the vice president there.
