Who is going to die?

"Yossef Bodansky, the former director of the U.S. Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and a man I respect immensely for his intelligence insights, says the United States faces an "inevitable" al-Qaida attack with weapons of mass destruction.

"What would be the U.S. response to such an attack?

"Now is the time to think about the unthinkable.

"Contingency plans need to be made. And those plans, at least some of them, need to be known to the whole world to serve as a deterrent against such an attack. …"

"… * The Islamist world and its allies need to know there will be an unprecedented nuclear response to any attack on the United States with weapons of mass destruction. We don't need to be specific about which major cities and installations will be vaporized. But it needs to be clear that the response will be overwhelming, resulting in far greater death and destruction than what is inflicted upon the United States. We need to let the terrorists know that addresses of response have been determined. Those counseling the terrorists that such an attack on the United States is justified should be among the first to experience the horror."

LOL, yes, I misread the first several paragraphs but Squantos was kind enough to give me an introductory explanation so that I went back and read the whole article.

Here's my response

[white trash redneck]

Sounds like you've got somebody specific in mind...

[kiwi_hawk]

WHO'S NEXT Al-Ramadi?, Kut, Mosul?; bring'em on !

[AntiGuv]

We haven't even elected but one Catholic president, what are the odds that we'll elect a Muslim one anytime in the foreseeable future?

[asgardshill]

And the images would immediately shift from dead Americans to dead people overseas, "Bush started WWIII" protests in Europe, blah, blah, blah.

And this would be different from what we're hearing from Europe already how?

[snarks_when_bored]

Guilty of aiding and abetting:
Saudi Arabia
Iran
Pakistan
Syria
Palestine
North Korea

Add Russia and China to that list.

More than one. Carter, the Clintons, and Kerry are good examples. BTW, considering this talk about the "Arnold Swartzennegger" amendment to the Constitution, I should include "foreign born" among the list of undesirable presidential characteristics.

Who is going to die?

Everybody, eventually.

Muahaha! You foolish mortals...

[Pro-Bush]

As much as I would like...The USA will not nuke civilans, a city like Mecca, per say. Too much PC, etc.
unfortunate.

Regarding: "We haven't even elected but one Catholic president, what are the odds that we'll elect a Muslim one anytime in the foreseeable future?"

Comment: Other than elections the Constitution provides for a presidential succession should the President and Vice President die or become unable to perform his duties. THAT person could be a Muslim.

Finally, someone besides me advocating pre-retaliation notification and massive use of nukes. It's about time. Maybe that'll persuade the muslim masses to *deter* the radicals and terrorists, internally. But if they're as collectively 6th century dumb as I suspect they are, it won't, sadly.

Way, way less than zero, IMO.

[Once-Ler]

Not finding my name in this article was kind of a mixed blessing. I'm not ready to die, but I really don't want to go to work today.

[Once-Ler]

Yes, we need to have this discussion.

Alright I'll start. I really don't think we can go wrong in any scenario by attacking France first.

[asgardshill]

Its nice to know that I'm not the only one who checks the obituaries every day to see if I have to go to work or not.

The rats in the holes who would do us massive harm again, need to be warned in a very public way...do it and your so called holy shrines will exist no more.....

[gogogodzilla]

That's what the neutron bomb was designed for. A small explosion accompanied with a massive wave of radiation that would kill off living beings in the vicinity, but would not leave any fallout. Decontamination of buildings could be accomplished with something as simple as a hosedown from a firetruck.

I can just imagine Osama's face when he hear's about Mecca's destruction.

:-)

I would sure like to see a few choice locations turn to green glass in Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iran just to name a few. However I do not believe we will ever again use a nuke against a civilian target. The response, only conventional weapons, would be measured to assure only those responsible were hit.

[Tail Gunner John]

Put the names of all Islamic capital cities along with Mecca and Medina in a hat. If we are attacked we pull two out and those two cities are vaporized that day. If we are attacked again we pull out three cities, etc. This should have been the approach since 9/12. Who can possibly identify those so-called unidentifiable terrorists among us? The mullahs and strong men in those cities can. Who can exert pressure (Islamic terror type) on those terrorists and their families? The same mullahs and strongmen. This MAD logic would motivate them to do precisely that, potentially saving millions of Islamists and non-Islamists in the process. Deterrence works as long as the retaliatory response is real, guaranteed and overwhelming.

That whit circle makes a great target, it can easily be seen with a spy satt. Maybe send a couple of cruise missiles there now, to show our resolve!
