Do you really think Americans, more specifically, Democrats, have the stomach for a Mossad-like, "wherever, whenever," attitude towards terrorism?

It's not that the current administration
isn't doing it, it's everything else they're doing as well. And, at the very least, Obama has stuck to his statement despite derision.
I think it depends, in many ways Israel is much more threatened than the US is. But I think it requires a level of trust in the intelligence agencies and the administration itself for the American people to think that blowing up Joe Terrorist in Pakistan is a good idea.
