Nuke Mecca and Islam is finished. The sooner, the better.

The difference between a military genius and a fool is having a sense of proper timing.

Nuking Mecca is always an option but timing is everything. The War on Terror will be won over many years, not by the 60 second sweep watch on your wrist.

In WWII, it took two of them to prevail in SE Asia.

Try Japan.

Even General Patton thought we could still lose the war in Europe after he had already landed in Italy.

Any war can be won or lost depending upon a multitude of factors.

George Patton and Douglas MacArthur were right and we are paying that price for not listening to them now with China and Russia monkey wrenching our efforts to reign in Islamic nukes...

As gratifying as it would have been to see General Patton lead the charge in World War III against the Soviets in the wake of World War II, that would very likely have dragged the West into a Eurasian conflict that we were not prepared for. We had only one additional atomic bomb at our disposal in 1945 after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and our ability to build more was based upon delicate and sensitive construction by hand, not the more advanced automated assembly methods that would come later.

General Patton might well have prevailed against the Soviet Red Army, however there is no way to tell how hard the Russians would have fought to keep their recently reclaimed territory, freed from Hitler's grasp. Add the very strong possibility of Europe ending up in Soviet hands, and a premptive strike by Patton could well have turned out to be a disaster. If anyone could have done it, Patton could. But the stakes were too great to risk throwing the dice on it.

And you can believe that while we (America and the West) were engaged in that Eurasian conflict with the Soviets, that the ChiComs would have been sweeping through all of Korea, Vietnam, and all of the then-recently liberated Japanese occupied areas as well. Mao was well on his way to dispatching Chiang Kai Shek to Formosa (which took place in 1949), Chiang's retreat may well have taken place earlier if U.S. forces were tied down in a conflict with the Soviets.

By the time MacArthur was advocating the use of atomic weapons on the ChiComs and North Korea, the U.S. inventory of atomic warheads stood at 13, which was the only thing preventing a Soviet invasion of Europe, because had Stalin started a war in Europe, those 13 atomic warheads would have had to be delivered on their targets by B-36 Peacemakers, and as glorious as those planes were, they had their share of problems, meaning that there was no guarantee that those 13 atomic bombs would have ever made it to their target(s). MacArthur did not know that, mainly because he was a General in the Army, and it was Truman who was President and saw the larger picture.

I blame no one but MacArthur himself for getting his ass fired because he refused to obey the Constitutionally established authority of the President of the United States, and gave Truman no other course of action except to fire him.

As infuriating as it was, to have to take so long to win the Cold War, it was won best by Ronald Reagan, who won it without firing a (nuclear) shot.

Some "warmonger" as he was vilified, Reagan won the war AND the peace. That peace was squandered by the likes of GHWB and his New World Order fixation, and by the eight years of Emperor Billigula and his depraved crew.

Giuliani hasn't a clue...

Don't kid yourself. He was nearly a casualty himself on 9/11. He's got more than a clue, and I would daresay he's got more of a clue than you do.

The difference between a military genius and a fool is having a sense of proper timing.

The sooner, the better... like I said...

Yes, that is in SE Asia... A Samurai never concedes defeat...

It was Eisenhower and Truman who let the Russians get in first... PATTON WAS RIGHT...

The Russians did not have the bomb at the end of WWII and had no idea of how many we had...
