As a nation, we are united and when people harm americans, we dont retreat, we dont forget. We take care of those who are grieving and when that is finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice, because hell is where they will reside hell is where they will reside all right. Mika, boy, what joe biden said yesterday, very strong. Im sure a lot of people, a lot of republicans on capitol hill have been calling for stronger words. It might take some of that. What do you think . I think he is tapping into a growing sentiment in a country that might be war weary but certainly is not impervious what we have seen the last two weeks.
