Buyer, a fine man, was part of the impeachment team. What a great suggestion...Nuke the H*** out of those caves, then Useless never-Bin-Laiden won't be able to hide in them. :)

The only way to be sure of getting garbage-bin-laden would be to nuke the whole damn country.

My only reservation is that, once somebody touches off a nuclear device, the dam will be broken and it will happen more and more often.

I agree, though. Don't send anybody into those caves. That is exactly what bin Wierdo has wanted from the very beginning. Find some way of killing the cockroaches where they hide.

It's nice to see that we have at least one legislator to whom the lives of Americans, including American servicemen, are at the top of the priority heap.

Once upon a time we A-bombed two Japanese cities to save American casualties we expected to incur from an invasion of Japan's home islands. I've never been perfectly sure that was a good thing we did, especially since there is some evidence that a Japanese surrender on acceptable terms could have been had without it, but I have no doubt whatsoever that tactical nukes are the best way to eliminate the fabled Afghani caves and anyone sheltering in them, at minimal cost to the United States both in blood and in gold.

Let's just try to be sure we hit the right caves, while the right people are in them.

Oh, you mean one of those Congressional cowards who abandoned their positions on the Potomac over a little white powder in a few envelopes?

Hell, if even the Senate can stay in session, I have NO RESPECT for our House Members who bolted.

About time, I disagree on just using small tactical devices on caves though.

I couldn't have said it better myself. While we're at it...why not that whole corner of the globe?

IMO, Tactical nukes are our only option. The whole world is watching to see our response to the first use of WMD. MAD has always been our policy, and it's keept the peace until now. We've used nukes before in 1945, and no one has used them since simply because of deterance. If deterance fails, what is there to stop anyone from useing them? Now they are calling our bluff. What will we do? If we don't use WMD's (even tactical nukes)in response, do you think anyone will believe in deterance in the future? That China, N.Korea, India, or Russia will hesitate to use them in thier squabbles? We have to use them, or loose thier value.

How about this.... has anyone seen pictures of an underground nuclear detonation? No mushroom, just a big blast and then the ground gives in... So we use one of those penetrator nukes, no big fireball, but probably it will leave a bit of radioactive residue.. what WE then say is that no, thats not radioactivity due to a nuke, its our latest conventional bunker busting bomb, which uses depleted uranium to enhance its penetrating ability... yeah, thats the ticket...

"While we're at it...why not that whole corner of the globe?"

what a genius idea! while we're at it, why not just re-write the Constitution?!

God help us all

If Spec OP types hand deliver these devices and set them back inside the cave entrances, say 50 meters, the environmental effects would not be any worse than the average underground nuke test, but would make those caves unusable for a very long time - those portions not obliterated, of course.

The problem is that they don't really know where he is. If the did, I'm sure the "bunkerbuster" would be enough to smoke him out. If you nike everything, how do you know you got him.

That's not radioactivity due to a nuke, its our latest conventional bunker busting bomb.<

Guess they must have had some radioactive stuff in that there cave, Coulda been bombs or area denial type stuff!

Who would ever be able to prove it one way or the other?

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Middle of Freakin' Nowhere Afghanistan.

As long as we can "confirm" that OBL and his boys are inside the caves, AND we know where all the entrances are, bury them alive.

Move on to Iraq.

Deploy nuclear weapons in caves? Seriously?

I guess some folks still haven't switched to decaff.

I suppose you haven't had relatives or friends killed by these fanatics, have you. Well, I have.

They are the biggest threat to the future of this world and they must be stopped. Saying "please" doesn't work with them. Their goal is to take over the world and turn it into a fundamentalist Islamic planet. If you doubt that then you are blind. It has nothing to do with past U.S. foreign policy or poverty or our support for Israel. Those are just excuses to rile up the masses into hating us and excuses for them to use as justification for their terrorist actions against us and anyone else they consider to be "infidels" (which is everyone who is not a 'fundamentalist' moslem).

Follow the money trail and it is clear...most nations in the Arabian peninsula support Al Quaeda...therefore they are a part of the problem. As president Bush said, "Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists."

Nukes won't work. Cockroaches can survive a nuclear attack.

I am in favor of the strategic placement of neutron bombs, however.

I agree, time to do some nuclear testing under the mountians of Afganistan! Maybe the special ops guys brought a drilling rig with them?
