I say we nuke Mecca now and be done with it.

We shall find out sooner or later if Abdul will pray to a smoking crater.

"I say we nuke Mecca now and be done with it."

So, you would nuke Saudi Arabia now, ignoring our troops stationed there (not many left, but there are some), ignoring our 30,000 plus citizens there, and ignoring both the Mutual Defense Assistance Act of 1949, and the Mutual Security Act of 1951 between the US and Saudi government?

You would nuke an ally, ignore bin Ladin and Al Qaida, and call it a victory.

Correct?

Beauseant!

"In the last century, America was threatened by a global communist revolution. Avoiding all-out war, we outlasted it. And we can outlast this Islamist revolution. What we must avoid is a war of faiths, a war of civilizations between Islam and America. And those who propagandize for such a war are the unwitting or willful collaborators of Osama bin Laden." -- Patrick J. Buchanan

Beauseant!

I said that on September 12, 2001.
