Yes. The silence is deafening.
Nice analysis. Academically speaking though, I like the idea of a suitcase nuke. Far more delicate of an operation, indeed, but more potential for obfuscation of blame.
But, I do understand that the first country to get caught using a nuke will be the focus of all. For instance, the consequence of Iran using a nuke on Israel will be short-sighted. Even the Kingdom will be obliged to attack Iran if for no other reason then survival (sunni-shia thing, IIRC).
If the USA were to go that route, we might as well drop half the arsenal on many targets. God, I hope we never come to that unless there is the second coming.
Yep. It was a fairly easy prediction. They’ve been telling us all along what they were going to do.
Something to remember: There was a terrorist attack on the Grand Mosque itself back a few years ago.
The idea of a suitcase nuke IS pretty good. But something tells me in the pit of my stomach that the Kingdom has thought of that, and MAY have radiological scanners at entrance points to the Grand Mosque.
Then again, I may be wrong. I think the Kingdom KNOWS that someone may attack, but I am not so sure they HAVEN’T ruled out a small nuke. I mean, wouldn’t it be in the spirit of Islamic arrogance to think “What nation or people would POSSIBLY think to destroy the Grand Mosque?”.
Bump
I was thinking more of a Great Crusade to convert all Muslims to good Christians. Read Ralph Peters newest novel.
Go, Frank!
Ping.
Christianity’s ethics are antithetical to islam. Jesus said to love your enemies, give & it shall be given to you, good measure running over etc. if you want mercy you must give it. dont judge, & you wont be judged. dont return evil for evil.
in islam there are no such rules, no prohibitions against such evil payback. when they fight each other, the main rule seems to be revenge/payback. even their false god is referred to as a liar or deceiver thats not an exact quote but its close. [father of lies ?]. thus after every cease fire peace agreement between Israel & the plo. it was the muslims who broke the cease fire. this is their strategy. cease fires, treaties etc are a lie to gain advantage.
so with that said. if homegrown terrorists in the U.S.
start an insurrection. what will they receive back ??
the Biblical rule of reciprocity will follow. they reject mercy & kindness. they will get what they deserve. America will be as Israel, fighting on the streets for our lives.
they can call their false god merciful all they want, but generally ideologically, jihadist muslims aren’t merciful. do they want mercy? will they ever change ??
oops sorry my reply was supposed to be top & all...
RATZ! Back to the old drawing board!
Thx for the pings, I’m home and trying to catch up :)
I am happy that you are home and safe.
