Well for starters Don , they did do something , just not very effectively . They stepped it up each time because the approach was completely ineffective .
Now after another newer bigger but still ineffective methods have been tried they are still stepping it up . Why ?

Really, Tribesman. That's amazing to hear. Would you care to share us with us what exactly the United States did after each of those attacks? Or, better yet, just after one. What was our response after the USS Cole that was so awful we just gave more ammo to Al Queda? Because we didn't do anything, we did as you're advocating now, we just sat there and took it. And what was the result? Ever increasing numbers of dead Americans. If nothing else, we've slowed that trend down.

What was our response after the USS Cole that was so awful we just gave more ammo to Al Queda? Because we didn't do anything,
Yes Don , Hellfire missiles hitting cars are just a normal traffic hazard . ~D ~D ~D
It just shows that when you use the correct reliable intelligence and todays wonderful technology you can achieve a result once the other methods have failed .

we did as you're advocating now, we just sat there and took it.
Firstly where have I ever advocated just sitting and taking it ? Secondly when has your government just sat and taken it ?
If you want to talk about the Cole and the response go ahead . It was actually one of the best responses your government has taken considering the constraints that surround operations in the area and the relationship with the governments there , feel free to thank the French military and Government for their vital assistance while you are at it . ~;)

Now then if I give you a little time to familiarise yourself with some facts surrounding the response to the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole would you like to talk about how it provided "ammo" for Al-qaida ?(a little clue for you ,take the constraints on the operations and look where those same constraints are now being exploited) .
