I am 100% for the President publicly stating , just as Rep. Tom Tacredo did , that "If you nuke us you will lose Mecca and Medina without any further warning or notice " Put that right in their faces . They think we have not got the the courage to even say that ,let alone do it. But that's what it will take .
Tell 'them' they will definitely lose something they cannot afford to lose and leave it at that .

Well, that does seem to be the only way Bush can pull himself out of this one. And using Mecca and Medina would go right to the heart of of it all. I'd bet they'd have the entire Arab and terrorist population saying, "Oh, no, not Mecca and Medina, we just can't go on without those precious little places of worship." I think, in the past, them folks just had a conniption fit when those places were bothered. Anyway, those terrorists are just ugly little thugs, who respect nothing except a show of force.
