You Want to Escalate, We'll Escalate, and You'll Lose...Big!

We hear the chilling news about the possibility of suitcase nukes inside our borders, we hear that 10, maybe even 20 of our cities may be at risk.

The risk we face is nothing compared to what the Islamic World faces if terrorists choose to escalate the war on terror.

We currently have Poseiden Nuclear Submarines on patrol in the Indian Ocean. No terrorist could ever find them, much less destroy them. A single sub can unleash 50 missiles with pinpoint accuracy, each with a warhead bigger than the sum of even 20 suitcase nukes.

If the terrorists want to ensure that there would be no retaliation, they would have to destroy not only our major cities, but also our bombers, our land-based missile systems, our complete command and control network, and our nuclear submarines.

They cannot do this, and escalation brings with it such huge risks of anihilation of the Islamic world that it would seem incomprehensible that they would try to raise the stakes. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I think you're being simple minded.

Well actually, no I'm not. I'm stating cold reality. NRA is a political decision; not one based on emotion or guilt by association. I've in the "Tank" when such things are played out and where scenarioes like this have been rote since 1988.

[Phsstpok]

No we won't. If one of the "mules" carrying such a bomb were to be a British Muslim, born in Britain, but an alien in the culture, would we nuke England? Of course not.

You are assuming that we will take weeks (or have weeks) to determine who the couriers were.

NY or Los Angeles (or Dallas, etc.) has a nuclear detonation and we will see mushrooms clouds over every identifiable Muslim center on the planet within hours. And that will be after all of the Muslims on this Continent are dragged from their homes and hung from trees, bludgeoned to death or burned alive.

This is not my hope. This is my fear filled prophesy.

"Ok, a suitcase nuke has just vaporized lower Manhatten, whom do you propose to retaliate against?"

Start with France.


Damascus gets my vote

I do hope it will come to that (anihilation of the islamic world.)

They think they will be in paradise with 72 virgins, they don't give a rip.

Hello from another Christian Republican Arizonan Freeper who likes computer games and has had some exposure to stuff nuclear.

Cheers!

The Islamo-fascist might be irrational but they aren't stupid.I think they will wait until we make a mistake and elect a limpwristed liberal, before they attack us with WMD.This strategy could backfire and lead to a massive retaliation that annihilates the entire Islamic world.A democrat will have the freedom to respond any way he wants. A liberal in the White House won't have to deal with an opposition working feverishly to thwart his response.It's too bad that the democrats turn into traitors when there is a republican president.

"As for your question, it will make us a tiny bit weaker, from the loss of those in the nuked city, but the rest will be made a thousand times more pissed off. "

Islam and the Islamics in general respect and fear complete power and those willing to use it. Otherwise explain how Israel with almost 1 million islamics living there does not have a suicide bomb going off every 40 minutes. If 1% were suicide bombers there would be 10,000 or 1 bomber going off every 40 minutes or so in Israel.

It doesn't happen there every 40 minutes because they are afraid. They know what will happen and know Israel has shown they will use power when necessary. They will get the one who does it and they will get his families worldly possessions. Destroy their homes, cars, businesses. In other words totally cripple them.

The Islamics as a whole are cowards, that is why our troops are not facing daily waves of suicide hordes. Only the crazies will stand up to a fight.. and they die. They are cowards and the crazies support darwins law.

That is why they are now attacking other muslims... easy targets who basically don't fight back. If we took out a city or two the rest would get the idea.

[DH]

They don't have to worry. Political Correctness insures the fact that no matter what they do, we will do nothing except study as to why they did it and what we did to cause it.

We now receive all of our legal marching orders from the ACLU.

[onewhowatches]

If a nuke went off in this county, it would be irresponsible not to retaliate against at least 4 or or main targets (possibly more). Mecca, Medina, Tehran, and Demascus would be on my short list. You see, we'll never be able to trace the bomber. All the Muslims would just be pointing fingers and acting stupid if we were nuked.

Alternate version:

You see, they'll never be able to trace the bomber. All the Muslims would just be pointing fingers and acting stupid if they were nuked. [Ain't stealth technology wonderful?]

pinging you to #58. unbelievable.

Suitcase nukes are an urban myth.

Sure are until they level 20 square blocks then theres NO urban left !

Immigration is for 21st century America what civil rights were in the 20th century. Both were intentional with the intent to destroy our Christian way of life and culture. The enemy is within our borders, not waiting at the gates. Our enemy is the enemy of Christianity. Know thy enemy! To know the enemy is to destroy it.

So, destroy it. fish hawk I'm sure can point out to you a thing or two about destruction. European Christians damn near wiped them out.

Upstanding Americans like mhking, JohnHuang2, and Trueblackman are your enemies? What specifically have they done to you? How about cyborg? What did she do to you?

You say "we know the enemy." Okay, first, who is this "we?"

I will continue, but answer these questions first. I mean, calling us "enemies" and "destroy" is such strong language. Maybe you didn't mean what I thought you meant. But, just to show that I'm a fair man, right now is the best chance to destroy me. When I heal, you won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of surviving the attempt. Right now is the best shot you have at me, so you might as well take it. Failure means you'll be in all 50 States at the same time, literally.

Now let's talk turkey.

[metermike]

Not really the American government lost one actually in the Pakistani mountains in the 80's while doing re con work.They were trying to spy on the Chinese when there was a avalanche and though they did search it was never found.Iread this in a book about nuclear mishaps unfortunately i cant remember the name.I am sure you could find it on the net though!

Excuse the f*** outta me!

"Civil rights" intended to "destroy" the "Christian way of life?"

Don't tell me -- the "Christian way of life" in your eyes was when dark people knew their place, right?

Please tell me that you're into unintelligible rant mode and not cognizant of what you're saying.

Or are you trolling for part of the "ethnic cleansing of America" mindset?

 

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!

[cyborg]

Pay no attention to racist retreats my friend. This is just baraonda posting under another freep name :yawn:

[Rightly Biased]

Looking at his other posts I would have never thought.


I wonder if there is a misunderstanding on "civil rights"?

[rdb3]

Pay no attention to racist retreats my friend.

Can't do that. My old school principles dictate that if you don't start nothing, won't be nothing. For whatever you start, I will finish.

Any and all can put that in the bank and get 25 points on it.

[cyborg]

I don't know why I'm surprised everytime I read the comments. Maybe it's because I'm amazed that people actually believe that stuff. Yes you're right. I've always heard the saying 'don't start something you can't finish'.
