Exclusive: US Representative Tom Tancredo in Response to U.S. Nuke Threat: We Could Nuke Mecca

15 July 2005: He is a no-nonsense House Representative from Colorado, a staunch critic of the federal government's lax immigration and border enforcement policies, and one who recognizes the clear and present threat posed by Islamic terrorists inside the United States. In an exclusive interview today with Pat Campbell, host of AM 540 WFLA said yesterday he would request a briefing from the Justice Department on information it has on plans revealed by WND this week for a nuclear attack on the U.S. by al-Qaeda. Responding to a question by Mr. Campbell about our possible response to such a threat, Representative Tancredo said that there are things that could be done to pre-empt a threat, and in response to an attack as well. One response would be to take out one of their holy cities with a nuclear bomb if it was clearly proven Islamic terrorists were behind such an attack.

The Northeast Intelligence Network applauds Representative Tancredo for all of his anti-terrorism efforts to keep our country safe. We also applaud Mr. Campbell for asking the tough but necessary questions - AND getting the answers.

Here is the quote from Tancredo!    "What if you said, if something like this happened in the United States, (and it was the result of extremist Muslims) then we could take out their Holy Sites!"

Here is a Tancredo quote;

"I'm not so naive to think I'd be a huge threat to the nominee," Tancredo said. "(But) I am in a position to be influential in the process."

So I'll try again; he would only run to try and inject conservative ideas into the immigration/borders debate. Imagine that; a Republican nominee espousing conservative views on immigration instead of leftwing platitudes! That would be his purpose, not a delusional belief that he would actually get the nomination.

And again, he is not talking about preemptively using nukes, only responding with them if they are used on us first.

As I tried telling another here, the alliance with the Buchanans has to do primarily with immigration, and their views are much more mainstream than what we get from the White House. Tancredo in fact disagrees with Pat Buchanan over the war in Iraq, and the underlying causes of the war on terror.

But you should take heart; Colorado isn't as red as it used to be. Maybe a Democrat will knock Tancredo out of office next year. Then of course you'd have one more vote against tax cuts, the war in Iraq, Soc Sec reform, protecting marriage, banning partial birth abortion, etc. But it'd be worth it, right?
