Cole that killed 17 Americans, the World Trade Center that killed nearly 3,000 Americans and the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa that killed 12 Americans and wounded nearly 4,000 more. The attack proved to the world that the United States does not forget about crimes perpetrated against Americans, and still has the will, and the technological ability, to strike any time or any place with 100% accuracy. He is the big bully on the block that wants the world, and especially the United States, to fear him. And just maybe Pelosi was carrying a promise to the Taiwanese government regarding how the United States will back them in such a situation.
