I agree with you and I think it is time for a NEW policy.
In the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK told the Soviet Union “it shall be the policy of the United States from now on that any attack on our friends will be regarded as an attack on the U.S. by the Soviet Union”. (words to that effect)
I say that we say roughly the same thing today to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Irag and Afghanistan (who did I forget?!). To wit: “guys, it is now US policy that any attack similar to the one made in Kenya and the one made in Nigeria is from now on going to be considered an attack on the U.S. Islam is now enemy # 1 to Americans and like the Germans and Japs we intend to kill as many Islamomaniacs as it takes to stop and eradicate these parasites and most particularly including state sponsored Islamic extremists AND THEIR SPONSORS.
Accordingly, we intend to reply to each and every attack in the future with immediate and over-whelming/devastating force.
For example and clarity (we don’t want any of you room temperature types being confused), an attack like happened in Kenya at the Westgate Mall will require the elimination of one entire Saudi oil field because we all know that without Saudi Money and the Saudi Royal Family none of this would be happening. So, guys, henceforth, under 100 dead like Westgate and you lose one entire oil field and 5 tankers. 100-200 dead in an attack like Mumbai and you lose all your military installations and equipment including your Army and Air Force. Between 100 and 1,000, you lose EVERY military base whether naval, army or air force and all of your remaining oil tankers as you won’t need them anyway.
An attack of with over 1,000 dead (like WTC) will result in Mecca and Jedda and Riyadh being erased from the face of the earth with no warning similar to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. In addition, all adult male members of the Saudi Royal Family will be hunted down and killed. In addition, all members of the heretofore named governments (cabinet level and above) will similarly be hunted down and killed. To accomplish this purpose, we have signed a contract for $100,000 per head to Mossad to execute this eradication of what amounts to rats in the human basement.
My guess is that if this policy (or a polished up enhanced version) were announced by a president with some credibility, ISLAMO terrorism as we know it today would cease. The Saudi Royal Family would see to it and they already have a working relationship with Mossad anyway. So, there are no excuses. If this is too much business for Mossad agents I’m sure our Seals and Delta guys would love to help out.
We need to respond to each attack by nuking Mecca.
