If there ever is any type of nuclear attack on the US, all of them will get it. And, it would be advisable for all of America's college professors not to get in the way, when that happens.

Yes, because Iran is going to let you “trace” all of their nuclear material so we know for sure that they’re the ones that did it.
I must be a complete idiot because the news lately makes me question the IQ of the presumably intelligent people in our country. I’m no rocket scientist after all.
If the president orders the elimination of terrorists in such as scenario, how could they be the "wrong terrorists, in the wrong country"? They may not be the group that detonated the device, but under the circumstances described, the president should eliminate all known terrorist groups--and anyone unfortunate enough to be standing within 25 miles of such groups. As for the country harboring such a group, its leaders know the risks of sleeping with cobras.
U.S. policy should be that we will take out the following targets if a weapon of mass destruction is used against the U.S. or its allies. The list should frighten the al-Saud clan because it will turn their Red Sea coast into glass--and it should frighten those nations who harbor terrorists--for example, the Palestinians--because they will all cease to exist. The only way to deal with terrorists is to kill them.
Its simple really. They kill a million of us, we kill 100 million of them. Stick to or improve on that ratio and the war will soon be over.

This should leave those hajiis quaking in their boots.
The USA should have announced right after 9/11 that in the event of any kind of WMD attack on US citizens, facilities, and/or allied interests ALL state and transnational sponsors of terrorism may (at our discretion) be subject to any and all kinds of retaliation, i.e., in the uncertain and murky world we will not require definitive proof before taking out any and every govt. that supports terrorists. We should have every Islamo-scumbag government quaking in their slippers, and instead the excrement of Tehran and Damascus, et al still plays games with us.....
THAT would have been a “Bush Doctrine” worthy of respect.
Such a policy would give ever Islamo-scum govt. reason to block other groups and PREVENT major terrorist attacks on the west, since they would have to fear that any jihad morons could bring a massive retaliation upon everyone’s heads.
Congress has done everything in its power to prevent us from protecting ouselves. These traitors have blood on thier hands if God forbid there is another attack!
This is an interesting article because it displays the mind set of a group of influential persons. In their world, one would determine the guilty persons, then determine a proportional response, and execute it (with all appropriate legal “i”s dotted and “t”s crossed). To use a poor analogy, if a wolf ate attacked and killed your child, you would use all available technology to determine the guilty wolf, track in down, and shoot it. All of your actions would be done legally of course. This would include getting the proper licenses permission to enter private or government lands etc.
Another approach is to clearly tell all Heads of State, Dictators, Kings, and other leaders of nations of various types, an extremely simple message. If a group harbored in their nation launches a nuclear strike at the United States, we will retaliate with nuclear weapons. Strike targets will include their major cities and religious sites. I believe that the latter approach would be the most effective in preventing any attack.
Interesting hypothetical. We suspect that the nuclear material within the nuclear device that just destroyed Manhattan, was stolen from Russia with inside help. That provides us with a STARTING POINT ? A starting point to where ? Do they seriously suspect the Russians will cooperate with the investigation ? Just look at how they cooperated with the investigation into the radiation poisoning of their dissident. Nothing will happen. Our politicians wont even be able to figure out who to retaliate against. And even if they do figure out who to retaliate against there will be intense inside pressure to not retaliate at all since so many Politicians in DC are on the payroll of some foreign government. At any rate, if the Russians want to pay us back for Kosovo, they will simply assist some terrorist organization with getting a domestically produced nuclear device from a third party cutout (ex-Iran). So how do you say checkmate in Russian ?
However, Roger Clemmons on steroids is deemed more newsworthy.
Doesn’t matter. Even if a group claimed it.
The lunatic left drive by media would blame Bush anyway. Look at 9-11 and Katrina!
Remote control flying airplanes into the WTC and they actually deny a plane even hit the pentagon, they assert a rocket from an F-15 did that to the pentagon.
Cheney has a secret raygun under the Gulf of Mexico on a sub to create evil weather to wipe out poor people.
And in the remote chance they did accept it, it would be America’s fault and we deserved it anyway.
In the late 1980's and early 1990's a team of geniuses I supervised developed a program to identify in advance where crimes were likely to occur and, by inputting information into a relational database, identify the perpetrator with a probability in the high 70% range. Since I retired, I have not kept track of what has been accomplished since, but I KNOW we have the means. These academics are just that; academics. Operations types are the ones who know best what will work and what won't If you put them in charge, things get done.
