WASHINGTON: Republican presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo says the best way he can think of to deter a nuclear terrorist attack on the US is to threaten to retaliate by bombing Islamic holy sites.
The Colorado congressman on Tuesday told about 30 people at a town hall meeting in the state of Iowa that he believes such a terrorist attack could be imminent and that the US needs to hurry up and think of a way to stop it.
If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina, Tancredo said at the Family Table restaurant.
Because thats the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from doing what they otherwise might do, Tancredo said in comments recorded and posted on the Web site iowapolitics.com.
A Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group responded in anger on Thursday, calling Tancredos statement unworthy of anyone seeking public office in the United States. Perhaps its evidence of a long-shot candidate grasping at straws and trying to create some kind of a controversy that might appeal to a niche audience of anti-Muslim bigots, said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Alright folks . . . let’s get real here. Would we nuke the Vatican for the actions of a group of Marxist crazed Liberation Theology priests??? All this would do is piss off A-L-L Muslims, ( both the Islamofacists and Moderates ) , you’d be turning people who are currently our allies, ( those who have lived under Sharia law and hated it ) into our enemies. Think these things through just a L-I-T-T-L-E B-I-T ! ! !
?? My plan??
“A wild ass of a man” is putting it lightly, but an effective description
No Muslim is by fiat by All.h an ‘ally’ of any infidel, etc..a lack of an appropriate very definitive response will doom the victim always to the wishes of this particular perpetrator. The third and greatest jihad in history has been in growing progress since 1979..the only opponent is a certain Constitutional Republic (for a while yet) that remains as their sole possible effective opponent, and, I am wondering if that nation is wavering...non-Churchillian thought this time virtually guarantees defeat...Churchill has just been removed from the ‘high school history’ curriculum in a rapidly Islamizing Britain...eom

The Hoopster has been busy this week. That’s S-CAIR-Y.
During WWII we did not nuke Tokyo or the Japanese Imperial Palace ! ! ! We nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki which were both centers of industrial production and important military bases. It would have made far more sense to nuke Tora-Bora than to nuke Mecca and Median at some point in the future.
Tancredo would do better to threaten Riyadh, Tehran, Islamabad, Damascus, etc. with destruction in retaliation for a WMD attack in the USA. These are the people who are supporting the terrorists, & have the most to lose if it comes to that.
Also, by threatening Mecca, Tancredo as president, is effectively declaring war on islam, so why not outlaw islam as a satanic cult, & expel the muslims in our midst who are the prime source of terrorism in this country. This would do far more to block domestic terrorism than simply threatening Mecca, & be a huge setback for the caliphate & jihad - much like Spain (Andalusia) in 1491. And for good measure, we could expel the Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank - Palestinian statehood problem solved. If we’re gonna PO the muzzies, might as well do it right.
A little common sense. What’s going on?
It’s all about messin’ with their minds...Doc Wheeler says it’s easy...hope we’re doin’ it...in the ME...
I’d go for a preemptive strike
Yes.
Did you know that using a cell phone causes the male member to shrivel?
I agree.
Maybe Tancredo lurks on FreeRepublic. ;^)
We used conventional incendiaries and HE gravity bombs in March 1945. We vaporized the center of Tokyo- 17 square miles turned to ash and rubble- and killed over 100,000 civilians. Estimates are still hazy- I read numbers between 80,000 and 200,000. More people were killed by LeMays’ firestorm than at Hiroshima.
Oh yeah we spared Tokyo!
In the end, only one person has the final authority on nukes—the POTUS. Everyone else is just uselessly exercising their piehole on the subject.
But it’s not so much the reason they need it, it’s more the size of the yield that concerns me.
Sounds like a good start. I wouldn't rule out turning the entire ME into a glow in the dark glass parking lot! It might be the only way to purge the earth of satanallahs mohamicidal maniacs!
