To hear them talk, everything could be prevented and fixed if they only had bullets that were made out of silver. We spend $400+ billion on Defense but apparently the budget does not include silver bullets. Perhaps in the interest of the nation's future, Tiffany's will donate a couple.
Here is a partial list of things blamed on the lack of these bullets in our arsenal:
9/11
In three hours of testimony, Rice never wavered from the view that there was no "silver bullet" action that could have prevented the attacks. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-04-08-rice-testimony_x.htmAl Qaeda

"This is a very large problem," Josh Bolten said on "Fox News Sunday" in his first interview since taking over April 14 as Mr. Bush's top aide. "It's built up over many years — decades, in fact.

We won't find a silver bullet to solve the problem. Luckily, climate change lends itself to flexible solutions - J. Lieberman
For gosh sakes! Somebody please melt down some silver and make some bullets!
Actually what we need now is not The Lone Ranger's silver bullets but rather
Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.
