Bigger sins than offending (Tancredo writes editorial)

Lighten up.

Because PC liberalism is seeping back into the national mindset after 9/11, and the America Haters® in country are feeling comfortable again to continue to undermine the war effort against their allies.

[Smartass]

We should not have to resort to that as end game solution, unless there is no other choice. My personal gut feeling is, I believe there should be a special international army (other then the UN - Ugggh) to hunt and kill these scum bags. The army should include Russia, China and all Arab nations. The term, "your either with us or against" us should be reafirmed.

[moondoggie]

For the most part...your explanation makes good sense.

I "really" have to wonder about the mindset of people who would even consider for a second setting off nukes in our cities.

It's not as if they don't already know there "are" consequences to their actions. ie:Afghanistan and now Iraq.

It's not as if they don't already know there "are" consequences to their actions. ie:Afghanistan and now Iraq.

But all of those doubts can disappear in a flash, and before you know it, voila!--72 virgins. Goodbye, consequences!

The problem with having a non-expert--your average terrorist-- transport weaponized material is that they would probably do something stupid like expose themselves to it without proper protection and die of radiation poisoning or accidentally set if off in the middle of the desert.

Not quite a heroic Jihad. Only 71 virgins for that one, but they all look like Bea Arthur. ;)

If it is worth writing, it is worth writing right.

You had not given a thought to the 30,000+ Americans living in Saudi Arabia, you had no clue about existing treaties, and there is no "abrogation" simply because you say so.

Rep. Tancredo has not given a thought about our 30,000+ citizens and troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, and he has no idea that there are treaties in effect, as he runs his mouth about nuking the country.

Just some more examples of the idiocy surrounding the whole notion; a fool of a Congressman being lauded by Internet keyboard generals.

I'm sure that these radical Muslims in Saudi Arabia will allow us to quietly remove our citizens without objections or obstacles of any kind prior to our detonating one or more thermonuclear weapons in their nation, specially considering the fact that Rep. Tancredo is promoting his idea of a solution.

Beauseant!

[Lancelot Jones]

"God, your graphic is irritating."

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Beauseant!

[curiosity]

IT is a war of faiths, IT IS a war of civilizations between [and] Islam and America.

Uh huh, so those Muslim Iraqi security forces we're training are our enemies, right? Pakistan's Musharaff is our enemy, right?

[television is just wrong]

Communism is alive and well today. We have not ended it. WE have it in our own country. It is known as social programs and welfare benefits.

Not to mention all the far left wing liberals teetering on Communism if not already there.

[Salem]

"I'm glad you're enjoying it."

Personally, I think it is Kewl with a capitol "K"!!  

[Salem]

"We should not have to resort to that as end game solution, unless there is no other choice."

Of course you are right. My point was that Tancrendo was certainly not the first American government official to allude to nuclear weapons being used in this very fluid war. The brouhaha over Tancrendo's comments is ridiculous in light of that.

[Smartass]

Tancredo made a Freudian slip, of which everyone is thinking about anyway. He's being criticized for thinking out loud. I would hope it would never come to that, but, in reality, it might.

I just don't believe it has sunk home to everyone here and throughout the world, of what we're into. Israel could write volumes, but, no one hears them. I'm afraid, It's going to take getting hit again to wake up the sleep walkers to the fact, the Islamofascists want to kill/destroy us.

[Lurker]

We've closed our bases in Saudi. The civilians could leave any time they want to.

Then after the next 'holy warrior' attack, we turn that black rock into dust. We wouldn't even need a nuke. One MOAB should do it.

And by the way, the Saudis aren't 'allies' by any stretch of the imagination.

[Salem]

Roger that.  

[Pelham]

Yup. The jihad trolls are outing themselves. The same crowd always has plenty of criticism for people on the right.

[Pelham]

It's FR's open border fanatics. But now we can see they have a bigger agenda, and their attacks always seem to be aimed to their right.

[King Prout]

I wouldn't quite go so far as to call Paddy's Apostles "jihad trolls" ;)

[Pelham]

Hugh Hewitt totally disgraced himself with his absurd over-the-top attack on Tancredo.

Hewitt has long been a shameless lackey of the GOP's powerbrokers, and they hate Tancredo. Hugh Hewitt's attacks will do more harm to his own reputation than to Tancredo's. The little yuppie is revealing his true nature, and I know a lot of his audience is surprised by what they hear.

[Pelham]

That bunch is hardly "Paddy's Apostles." They used to spend their time attacking Buchanan before they moved on to Tancredo.

Someone else called them the La Raza Coyotes, which is amusing and pretty accurate.
