Alberta and Texas are alot alike, in many ways. The people have similarities, too. And there’s lots of oil.
I’ve had a great time in both places.
North Korea isn't a theocracy ruled by a members of a cult who believe their god requires them to kill every member of a rival religion, and who believe that the arrival of their incarnate god on Earth can only happen in the wake of a nuclear holocaust.
Israel does not have the capability of projecting the power that is needed to do the job.
The Iranian project is too dispersed and too hardened to make it a "One Raid Hat Trick" like Israel pulled off in Iraq many moons ago or in Syria last year.
The air war needed to pull this off will have to be a sustained Shock and Awe campaign lasting a week or two and, whether we like it or not, only America has the ability to project that magnitude of military power into Iran.
Serbia.
To the extent it was preemptive, the war with Iraq was OK with the NY Times, at least until it was won by our great warriors. The leftists, like this writer at the Telegraph, are OK with a pre-emptive attack when they think they might be a target AND you take care of it for them. However, after the hard and dangerous work is done, you will still be a bum and ruffian.
(Kipling wrote a poem, “Tommy,” short for Tommy Atkins, about this same pusillanimous attitude among the same class of Brits. http://faxmentis.org/html/kipling.html )
After seeing how the worldwide leftists have vilified Bush after doing what manifestly needed to be done, I think we should just learn to “let go of our fears” as the lefties like to say. Almost certainly the nuke attack is going to be on some Blue state’s theater district or some EU lefty paradise. THEN we can obliterate them with nukes. (Tehran, Medina, Damascus, Cairo, pick a couple more.) I’d save Mecca as a bargaining chip for their abject surrender, then nuke it if they don’t.
And, as another poster noted, ground bursts should be used, so that like the Romans’ salting of the earth at Carthage, no one can live there again for centuries. This is a problem that cannot be solved easily, but it can be solved simply.
In short, North Korea is the source.
Why would you attack the symptoms of the disease, and not the disease itself?
Because China says no. Harsh reality.
where the bomb was detonated only a couple of hundred feet off the ground on a tower.)
Trinity.
'They' expect it as one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
Yeah, Elvis.
Manitoba-—if it has oil. We take them and their oil
Add Qom--- The Shiite holy city in Iran
If loony Muslims do nuke us they may not care what kind of retaliation we muster because this all fits into Shiite end times prophecy
But retaliate we will when we can find out who hit us which might be very dicey proposition
When were Mecca and Medina moved to Iran?
I didn’t say they were in Iran.
Who said the nuke would originate from Iran?
The tactic is that other Muslims would make sure no terrorists would use a nuke because all Muslims would lose. They know who and where the threat is and are able to stop it before they lose their holiest cities.
Back in the 70’s when the IRA terrorists(Catholics) were a problem would you have advocated the Brits nuke the Vatican.
I was not aware that the IRA was planning on nuking British cities and planning on taking over the whole world and imposing their rule.
I was also not aware that millions of Catholics were supporting the IRA in their attempt to rule the world.
I was also not aware that the IRA was killing people all over the world as fast as they could.
Not a very accurate analogy.
Let Israel and the Mossad run our foreign policy. I trust them to ac tually defeat the Islamofascists but I must say our people just bray about it. Thank God W did what he did but it is not enough and if a Dem socialist pacifist wins, San Diego, Long Beach and even DC are in trouble.
The Hildebeast will say anything that makes her look more tough. I doubt she would follow through even if it was totally clear say Iran gave a terrorist group a bomb to detonate in a US city.
I don’t know about her.
She might just be a ruthless tyrant not listening to the generals or congress like bill did with Kosovo or Haiti.
She was there and saw what he got away with. Add to that the fact that she believes she is above the law she might just do anything.
Well she already thinks she can get away with anything. But the card deck has changed a bit. She has a lot of enemies on both sides of the Hill, as well as in the private sector.
