Ted Koppel: The way to handle airplanes being blown out of the sky is to clean up the mess ...
The Virginian ^ | 1/8/2010 | Moneyrunner

Saying that Obama's first casual reaction to the Christmas bombing was exactly the right one, he blamed the 24/7 news media for forcing the President and the government to focus on this issue.

Click on the link for the interview on the BBC.

For someone who virtually created the news programming that focused on a single issue, it's more than a little hypocritical.

Have Obama, ABC and Iran worked out another
endless “HOSTAGES - Day 220” for 2010 and Koppel?

What we should do is fill up a few retired aircraft, install remote control avionics on them, fill them up with terrorists and with a live feed camera detonate copies of these “fruit of the booms” IEDs.

Do this on a weekly basis like a reality show.

Send a message back to them.

We should publicly execute captured terrorists by having them as passengers on a retired passenger jet thats being flown remotely and with cameras on a live feed detonate explosive charges on it, for more realism have the terrorists secured in their seats and the passengers are crash test dummies of all various types.

Better to strap them to a large, long-dead, putrefying hog and then feed the pair into a large meat-grinder, on live television.

Three words I grew to hate:

AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE.... Day 50, Day 100, Day 200 and on and on.

It started what I loathe to this very day, the naming of every crisis we face.

Hated it then
Hate it now

Maybe instead of wasting perfectly good dummies we should have a few porkers on board.

I’m sure Mythbusters can “dig up” a few month old porcine subjects for testing purposes.

The only way to clean up the mess in a way that will stop terrorism is to kill leaders of countries that support terrorism, and destroy their productive capacity so that they can no longer afford to support terrorism.

I am a firm believer in huge smoking holes with radioactive signatures, what do Muslims fear?

Honestly can anyone arguably give up something that would pause Islam? Other than leveling Mecca?

If I had an input into the spooks society I would circulate a rumor that the USA is about to drone launch a biological weapon that will sterilize men immediately and permanently, and that its being targeted in places of harboring terrorists.

“We should be more like France and Israel”

Clean up Yemen like the French cleaned up Algeria, and bullldoze the family homes of anyone captured trying to attack us?
