Just a quick heads up. Hannity announced he will be talking with Tancredo regarding the "Mecca Remark". If I'm not mistaken, it will be one of the segments in the last hour of his radio program. I'll try to provide a link for online feed.
How were they able to vote?
"What was your old screen name?"
I've stuck with only one screen name since I first posted here, prior to registration.
Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with nuking Mecca. Who'da thunk!
No--it was Sir Winston the GREAT! The one and only Winston Churchill, a man among men!!!
Personally I thought firing at the mosque (where the gentle Muslims were shooting from, if you recall), loosed things up a bit.
Your nuke suicidal lovers of destruction theory would not work. They love destruction. They would love for us to do that. Believe me. They do NOT fear death. Your solution is as sensible as a cop pointing a gun at a man on the roof ready to jump to his death. "Don't jump or I'll shoot!"
You are threatening these nuts with something they would like to see happen. It may work with nations like China or North Korea but not these people.
Tancredo basically promised them 72 virgins (SUPER SIZED)! That could actually encourage the terrorists to try harder to hit us and try harder to use a nuke on us... it's the promise he made... YOU WILL MEET YOUR 72 VIRGINS.
Never compare these loonies to the USSR...it could be dangerous.
It's not an ideology, it is a cult, complete with religous beliefs and rituals, brainwashing and exploitation of its members. Except for its numbers - which are far more than typically associated with a cult - Islam is a caricature of a cult.
Are you suggesting that the "global war of Islam v. everybody else" is something they're hoping to lose? Of course not, the ultimate goal is world domination. Sharia for everybody.
There are 30,000+ American citizens, plus a number of U.S. military living in Saudi Arabia, and a member of our Congress wishes to open a national discussion on the option/possibility of nuking Islam's holiest site, which happens to be located in Saudi Arabia.
Tancredo's irresponsible grandstanding could possibly cost some (or many) American lives, and if it does, he should be tried impeached, and convicted of manslaughter.
While you all sit in the comfortable anonymity of your desk, hiding behind a pseudonym, as we all do, and bluster about nuclear destruction of Muslims, stop and give one moment's thoughts about the possible repercussions of your words, and the danger you may be exposing American citizens abroad to.
Beauseant!
What we really need is the nuclear bunker busters that Bush has requested research on but Congress refuses to fund.
Wondered where he was......
I'll venture a guess that they've already heard it.
"the important thing is that he's brought issues like immigration to the forefront.."
Yes he did. And I supported him for that. I don't want to see this issue go away.
LOL!!
Lovley. The "civil rights" lawyer threatens to sue a ex CIA guy because of his expressed opinions.
"Time to soak the bullets in pig blood"
Now that has proven to be effective in the past. We should do that.
If the Soviet Union had a group that it disowned publicly but we knew was funded, trained, and supported by them, and this group nuked a US city, do you really think the USSR itself would be exempt from retaliation?
The philosophy that leads Al-Qaeda to attack us is not limited to that group alone - they are practicing orthodox, traditional Islam, and following the example of their prophet. It is not just AQ that is at war with us, it is all of Islam. Those of us who have read the Koran understand that clearly.
Not at all.
If I research it enough, I'll probably confirm my suspicion that a non-military source coined the phrase "mutually assured destruction."
The U.S. was always convinced that we could survive a Soviet nuclear attack, and that our anti-ICBM system could handle a large portion of any first strike.
In reality, releasing one tenth of the world's nuclear ordnance would have destroyed all humanity via what a study by American scientists R.P. Turco, O.B. Toon, T.P. Ackerman, J.B. Pollack, and Carl Sagan named the "Nuclear Winter."
Beauseant!
Nuking Mecca has excellent strategic value. Islam is based on the infallibility of their god. Nuking Mecca would prove that their god can't protect them like their book says it will. This will destroy the entire philosophical basis on which our enemy has built their rationale for attacking us in the first place.
"Tancredo's irresponsible grandstanding could possibly cost some (or many) American lives, and if it does, he should be tried impeached, and convicted of manslaughter."
Your priorities are upside down. The 30,000 may be in danger, you are correct. But you can't win a war with that kind of fear. If they sense you fear them that much, we are finished as a nation.
TOM TANCREDO ON SAVAGE NATION!
