Such an "anteater" would surely solve the problem. But there is a slight problem: The anteater would not stop on the border to Israel.
What I mean is: Terrorism needs to be fighted with the scalpel, not with a broadsword. A broadsword does more harm on the patient than on terrorism.
We got rid of the Red Army Fraction (RAF) in Germany with the scalpel, Italy got rid of the Brigade Rosso with the scalpel, the ETA is almost defeated in Spain without bombing the entire Basque Region.
Just brains is needed in this matter and a good intelligence service. But an intelligence service like yours who wasn't able to determine whether or not Iraq has weapons of mass destruction (and if so, where they are) is not able to handle a scalpel. Thus the raging bull must do the work (of no avail, though).
To answer your question: Yes, I have firearms. I am not a pacifist. But I think I would not be stupid enough to play the raging bull (of no avail, as mentioned before) when stealth actions are more promising.
