"SO WHAT? with the US economy devastated and the country in chaos."


Losing some big cities would not be the end of the US. It would however be the end of the middle east and any other country full of crackpot muslims. Game set and match to them? Hardly.

no here you are wrong.

The us economy is built upon the ability to freely spend money, ergo branch banks, ATMs, checks, credit cards, etc.

What would be your first thought when it happens, right after where are the kids and are they safe? It would be:food, water, shelter and MONEY.

You and 100 MILLION other citizens think AT THE SAME TIME, I need to get some cash.

Especially when they are doing a city a day - is your city next, would you flee, need some gas and food, need money.

You really need to think this through.

The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of
a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces.



These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas boys will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.

The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.

I believe we are too politically correct to randomly bomb the mid east...Al Qaida doesn't have a home...I suspect we would probably lick our wounds for a while and try to fugure out what to do...

The upside is; we might then deem it profitable to step up our border security...

It would however be the end of the middle east and any other country full of crackpot muslims.

You mean countries like France, England, Denmark, Sweden, etc., with millions of muslims that have taken over cities or parts of cities? There's no way we could eliminate ALL the muslims easily. Eventually, they will win, unless the rest of the world wakes up and drives them out.

You said -- "It would however be the end of the middle east and any other country full of crackpot muslims."

I don't see that it would be the end to any of those countries and their people. However, it should be the end to that *religion* -- and maybe at that point in time -- we would eliminate that religion from anyone's choice and completely destroy it (not the countries and peoples, though).

And also, I would say that -- at that time -- you would see all the mosques shut down in the U.S. (at least) -- and hopefully the war against the religion of Islam would begin -- in earnest.
