The end of islam.

I'm not so sure...with so many "blame America firsters" out there...it would be a tough sell.

[EndWelfareToday]

The Democrats say there's no problem. It would take a few million liberals blown away to wake them up. If there are any left, it will too late.

Well then I guess Al-Qaida is picking the perfect cities to make their point eh? ;-)

The Youngstown real estate market should finally be looking good.

I am afraid you're right. While effective, the internment camps would never fly in this liberal environment. While I support a strong response, I don't think we have to gonads to actually respond as we should.

If we had 7 cities destroyed, we would probably not use more than one or two small tactical nukes no where near any major cities, as you stated.

Sadly, we're just not going to fight hard against this threat because of PC BS.

Somebody post again why we “can’t” go into the outlaw region of Pakistan. Give me all the military and diplomatic reasons. Then realize how pathetic that all will sound after even one US city has been destroyed. We have been so let down by our leaders at all levels and in both parties.

[rjp2005]

Eh? I didn’t say it was. Who is currently threatening an ICBM strike on us that has such capability?

[taxed2death]

No biggie....

We’ll all just be told to “go shopping”.

[Diamond]

btw, they already have a piece of a glassy crater as a central point in their religion.

How about just destroying that, for starters? They probably think that their god would not allow such a thing.

Cordially,

[Velveeta]

Crazy? cRaZy???? Buwwahahahhaaha. Who CRAZY?

I agree that they couldn’t pull off the 7 cities - but I’d be willing to guess that’s the consummate plan.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Fits with their pattern of one strike per presidential term.

Interesting.

[Westlander]

Not just downtown. The entire city proper.

[msnpatriot]

Yes, thats frustating about Newsmax I learned, after a few orders I placed.

They do two things, when you place a 2 for 1 order they send you the mag (I like the mag), and don’t send out the free item unless you mention it later.

Secondly, once you receive the mag and the sub runs out, they automatically bill you $39 again.

If you want your Reagan hat just send Newsmax an email, and explain that you never received it. They send it out to you. I ordered the radio and had to do that before I got it.

And, if you don’t want another subscription to the mag, just write on the invoice ‘unsub’.

I know, frustrating. The emergency radio really works nice...

“Just a plug to buy a book through Newsmax and it’s not even by the FBI director. I “bought” a Reagan hat through newsmax, never recieved the hat, but had an autodeduct on my credit card for a subscription. Cheeseball outfit. Don’t say you haven’t been warned if you are silly enough to deal with them.”

But, we had concerts for global warming!

How can this be???

[cbkaty]

That won't make any difference - there is nothing material on Earth that they care about.

Which screams pre-emptive strike....I volunteer to personally push the buttons.

[Lou L]

With the PC world we live in today we would immediately have to play the victim card and embrace the goodwill of the world.

What's the over-under on how many days after such an attack, that a Michael Moore-type would be out on a news show, rationalizing, "...well, I can see how America's foreign policies under George Bush would warrant such an act..."

[angcat]

I’m looking at my Inhaler box and it states “IMPORTANT, INHALERS LIKE THIS ONE ARE BEING DISCONTINED DUE TO ENVIROMENTL IMPACT” lol

We are not concerned about WAR just dam inhalers!

[Right2BareArms]

You forgot NOLA! Oh, wait....

[HardStarboard]

>>>The end of islam.<<<

If al Qaeda was successful with even one or two nukes in US cities, the cries for total capitulation to Islam and Sharia law from the American left and the fence sitters that "just don't want to be involved" would force our surrender.

Thats why winning in Iraq is so important.

[A. Patriot]

I do not see the U.S. resorting to a total nuke em’ all policy. Yes, we would lose a milliom Americans. BUT I just do not think we would take out countries let alone Mecca where we would be not only killing a million there alone but asking for a war with a religion for the rest of our nation’s history.

Aaaaaahhhhh, we are already at war with a religion and have been since the founding of this country. Europe has been at war since the middle ages. As long as Islam's stated goal is to subjugate and rule the world, we will be at war with Islam.

“To kill a snake, you cut off its’ head. Destroy mecca and other “heads” and you demonstrate to the islamic nazis their “religion” has lost.”

I’m not sure I remember correctly, so bear with me- didn’t bin Laden say that the Madrid bombings were in retaliation for the Spanish driving Islam out in 1533 AD?

My point and gut feeling is that merely destroying Islamic cultural and population centers will not “end Islam” nor permanently remove the threat.

I used the Crucifixion and torture of Jesus Christ as an example- those actions became the basis and strength of Christianity, rather than removing the threat (to Roman stability) . It took a while but eventually all Rome and later a goodly portion of the world became Christian. To this day the symbol of Christians is the very torture device the Romans used.
