"So from your response, I assume you’re OK with an unlimited number of innocent, non-combatant casualties in our war on terror"

Thats assinine and childish to accuse someone of that. It's also nieve to conclude that non-combatant casualties are not a reality specifically given the tactics strategy of the Al Queada and other islamic extreme groups . It will be very hard for us to divide the two groups and that is by design on their side. The innocent do have the ability to walk away.
