If there ever is any type of nuclear attack on the US, all of them will get it. And, it would be advisable for all of America's college professors not to get in the way, when that happens.

Yes, because Iran is going to let you “trace” all of their nuclear material so we know for sure that they’re the ones that did it.
I must be a complete idiot because the news lately makes me question the IQ of the presumably intelligent people in our country. I’m no rocket scientist after all.
This could be just a bunch of Global Warming... I mean Global Climate Changing scientists, sensing the public becoming more wary to their agenda, looking for new jobs as Nuclear Forensics Researchers.
If the president orders the elimination of terrorists in such as scenario, how could they be the "wrong terrorists, in the wrong country"? They may not be the group that detonated the device, but under the circumstances described, the president should eliminate all known terrorist groups--and anyone unfortunate enough to be standing within 25 miles of such groups. As for the country harboring such a group, its leaders know the risks of sleeping with cobras.
U.S. policy should be that we will take out the following targets if a weapon of mass destruction is used against the U.S. or its allies. The list should frighten the al-Saud clan because it will turn their Red Sea coast into glass--and it should frighten those nations who harbor terrorists--for example, the Palestinians--because they will all cease to exist. The only way to deal with terrorists is to kill them.
I’m curious how you propose to nuke the Palestinians without causing Israel some serious inconvenience.
I don't think bombing Israel would be a particularly good idea (since that's where most of Palestinians live.) Some Palestinians are in Jordan, but that's also our ally... some are in Egypt, but that's another ally... You can't really bomb an enemy there without taking a few friends out as well. That's why Israel can bomb Lebanon but only can send a few police into Gaza, even if that.
Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the 1949 Armistice Agreements between Israel and neighboring Arab states eliminated Palestine as a distinct territory. With the establishment of Israel, the remaining lands were divided amongst Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The Arab governments at this point refused to set up a State of Palestine. (link)
Its simple really. They kill a million of us, we kill 100 million of them. Stick to or improve on that ratio and the war will soon be over.

Civilization will crumble if barbarians are allowed to posses nukes.
This should leave those hajiis quaking in their boots.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Just settle all their accounts at once. Sort of a Stalin approach to problem solving:
- Problem population
- Only a few are actually guilty of the offending act.
- Destroying them all ensures the guilty parties are, in fact, punished.
- The “innocent” deserve their punishment because they were so careless as to allow themselves to be identified in the same group as the really guilty parties.
Not if Obama wins.
That was the same thing that leapt to my mind. I also thought, "Kill them all. The devil will know his own."
Are you just now gettin' around to questioning that? I've been questioning that for some years now.
I'm no rocket scientist either.
The USA should have announced right after 9/11 that in the event of any kind of WMD attack on US citizens, facilities, and/or allied interests ALL state and transnational sponsors of terrorism may (at our discretion) be subject to any and all kinds of retaliation, i.e., in the uncertain and murky world we will not require definitive proof before taking out any and every govt. that supports terrorists. We should have every Islamo-scumbag government quaking in their slippers, and instead the excrement of Tehran and Damascus, et al still plays games with us.....
THAT would have been a “Bush Doctrine” worthy of respect.
Such a policy would give ever Islamo-scum govt. reason to block other groups and PREVENT major terrorist attacks on the west, since they would have to fear that any jihad morons could bring a massive retaliation upon everyone’s heads.
Congress has done everything in its power to prevent us from protecting ouselves. These traitors have blood on thier hands if God forbid there is another attack!
This is an interesting article because it displays the mind set of a group of influential persons. In their world, one would determine the guilty persons, then determine a proportional response, and execute it (with all appropriate legal “i”s dotted and “t”s crossed). To use a poor analogy, if a wolf ate attacked and killed your child, you would use all available technology to determine the guilty wolf, track in down, and shoot it. All of your actions would be done legally of course. This would include getting the proper licenses permission to enter private or government lands etc.
Another approach is to clearly tell all Heads of State, Dictators, Kings, and other leaders of nations of various types, an extremely simple message. If a group harbored in their nation launches a nuclear strike at the United States, we will retaliate with nuclear weapons. Strike targets will include their major cities and religious sites. I believe that the latter approach would be the most effective in preventing any attack.
Interesting hypothetical. We suspect that the nuclear material within the nuclear device that just destroyed Manhattan, was stolen from Russia with inside help. That provides us with a STARTING POINT ? A starting point to where ? Do they seriously suspect the Russians will cooperate with the investigation ? Just look at how they cooperated with the investigation into the radiation poisoning of their dissident. Nothing will happen. Our politicians wont even be able to figure out who to retaliate against. And even if they do figure out who to retaliate against there will be intense inside pressure to not retaliate at all since so many Politicians in DC are on the payroll of some foreign government. At any rate, if the Russians want to pay us back for Kosovo, they will simply assist some terrorist organization with getting a domestically produced nuclear device from a third party cutout (ex-Iran). So how do you say checkmate in Russian ?
However, Roger Clemmons on steroids is deemed more newsworthy.
