WASHINGTON: A Republican congressman said in a radio interview aired by a Florida station that if a multiple-city attack happened in the United States in the next 90 days, as predicted by an Israeli expert, and was found to be the work of extremist Muslims, then “we should take out their holy sites.” Congressman Thomas G Tancredo, Republican from Colorado, was being interviewed by AM 540 WFLA radio host Pat Campbell, who asked him what the response of the United States should be were terrorist attacks on US cities to take place and were attributable to extremist Muslims. The Congressman replied, “ ... then we could take out their holy sites.” Asked if that meant Mecca, Tancredo answered, “Yes.” khalid hasan

He said that out loud?!?!
This sentiment works for me.
Thank God someone has had the GUTS to say it! Now let it be reported far and wide.
This is the real thing- we give it all we have or we lose to this new Muslim attack on the world.
God Bless Tancredo!
He better watch his back...the adherants of the religion of peace aren't going to like that.
giving the paki's something to think about at the same time would be a good idea too.
I second it, with one correction: it should be taken out during annual pilgrimage, when it is full, and not during an off-season.
When this quote is verified, I will put Trancredo in the nutter category. Just lashing out is sort of an adolescent testosterone thingie. One would wish we would elect ADULTS who can contain that, and just think, damn it, in a rationale way. If I want adolescents to dictate policy, I will take a time machine back to the middle ages, when those much older than that, had already assumed room temperate. Thus the irrational, emotional, tapestry of the age, and why it so well, just so foreign to us.
Yes he did say it a few days ago. He backtracked the next day.
I would have said "No, no, I said Maaco, not Mecca. They did a crappy job painting my car."
WOW!!!
What a major idiot. All the work we've done to make the GOP sound like the mature party while the Dems are the loonys and we have this Tancredo guy ruining it. Someone tell him to shut the hell up.
One thing's for sure: Tancredo had better not apologize or "retract" his statement due to pressure from the MSM/Cair.

It seemed so nutty, and I don't thing Tancredo is that nutty, that I added all the qualifiers. I want to watch and wait on this one. There is no need to rush.
