Oh yeah we spared Tokyo!

I understand the point, however that took thousands of raids, instead of a single ordinance of a completely different caliber.

I’ve offered that solution several times myself.

Let’s try another example: Suppose the Aryan Nation boys manage to hijack a Minuteman warhead up there in Montana and somehow or other they manage to get it to Red Square and detonate it ( all 335 kilotons ). Would it really be in Vladimir Putin’s best interest to nuke Jerusalem and Rome because they are sacred to Christianity ???

To DBrow: I’m fully aware of Lemay’s fire bombing of Tokyo. I was just trying to make a point without going into detailed history.

Actually you know, you wouldn’t even have to drop a explosive device, you just use another kind of bomb on their Holy Sites.

You go to Jimmy Dean, Zeigler, and any other ‘sausage’ company and tell them you need blood, hooves, snots, ears ect, and a big ol cargo plane and you drop it all, all over the places.

If they wish to defile America, you defile them right back.

And the sausage companies could get a tax break for their contribution.

Ham steaks a la Mecca.

And do it every day for several days.

They’d go stark raving crazy.

A Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group responded in anger on Thursday, calling Tancredo’s statement “unworthy of anyone seeking public office in the United States.” “Perhaps it’s 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.

Ummmm, he did get their attention...

Tancredo is completely wrong. The US isn’t going to nuke innocents, even if we take a nuclear hit.

If we are attacked en masse by more islamic terrorists on our soil, I say put our biggest atomic bomb right down the throat of Mecca and then tell the Muslims of this world...pray for peace and beg big-time for forgiveness...and we will think about it before we unleash the next 16,999 atomic bombs on your miserable @sses!

Tancredo is exactly right. Any major attack on our soil - nuclear or otherwise - perpetrated by Islamists should be met with the annihilation of Mecca, Medina, and whatever other sites those cultist freaks consider “holy.”

I disagree greatly. That action would leave the infrastructure of the countries that harbor the terrorist intact. They would then redouble their efforts to harm us and using the bombing of holy sites as a central plank in their rage. The way to hurt the bad guys is to use decapitating strikes against the governments and the infrastructure of the nation or nations. Take out the petroleum distribution systems, electricity, and seaports. That nation state would then collapse. The death toll from the strikes would be fairly small. The death toll as the infrastructure collapses would be horrific. Starvation, and disease would kill millions.

Oddly enough a country such as Afghanistan would fare well. Their farming is not highly mechanized and dependent of petroleum and is irrigated from valley streams. A country such as Iran would be devastated due to its dependence on fuel and electricity to farm and bring food into the central cities, Tehran in particular.

Maybe we need to change our ammo & bomb charges...maybe we need to use pork-impragnated ammo and pork-loaded bombs, rockets, etc....I love it, give the enemy a free meal of pork-loaded munitions...great for our pig farmers...great for Al Qaeda moral demoralization...and cheaper ammo for us.

Them's Cold War figures. We don't have that sort of number in the enduring stockpile anymore. Or any real biggin's either.

...although we haven't found a way to effectively get at them in the northwest of Pakistan...

So you've decided to vote for Obama?

Actually it took one raid of 335 planes, done in one night.

It was cheaper by far than the Manhattan project.

The bigger point is, Japan did not surrender. If we popped a big nuke in Saudi Arabia at Mecca, even during Hajj, Islam would not surrender.

Medved used to have a guy (Mordechai Levy?) on who was an Israeli intel expert. His wife was a coptic who translated Islamist broadcasts.

He claims the mullahs believe that Allah is more powerful than our god, and that they intend to nuke Jerusalem to prove it.

He says that if we nuke Mecca first, they will realize their god is a phoney, and throw in the towel.

FWIW

We need to save a few biggin’s for Iran, because until those nutjobs realize that when push comes to shove, they lose...we need a couple biggies for their nuclear program! I’m 64 years old and would be perfectly happy to grab my guns and march on Iran to save my grandchildren, but we do have the ability to tell those nutjobs that if you develop a nuclear weapon cabable of threatening world stability, we will turn Iran into a glass parking lot!
