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.”

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!

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.

..whatever other sites those cultist freaks consider “holy".

That may prove to be quite a task. Just about every city in the middle east is prefaced with the word "HOLY", however I for one am willing to give it try!!

Well if you’re doing them in order, the third most holy city in Islam is Jerusalem. Still as enthusiastic?

ITA. I don’t think the USA will do it though.
