"...do whatever it takes" means just that.  We can support them with naval
blockade and naval gunfire, air support, logistics, etc., without putting any
boots on the ground.

But the bigger question is are we willing to actually go the last step in order
to win this war on terror?  Until we eliminate the sponsors its going to
continue.  Just how serious are we about eliminating this threat once and for
all?
