Rep. Steve Buyer, IN-R on Fox Demands use of nuclear weapons if Anthrax traced to Terrorists

Fox News Live ^ | 24 OCT 01 | DCBryan1

[DCBryan1]

Im paraphrasing what the Congressment is saying:

"We as a country cannot fear an open discussion {on the use of nuclear weapons)".

We have been attacked by Biological weapons, and as per our 50 year plan, need to fulfill our promise to deter such attacks by using small, tactical nuclear weapons on terrorists strongholds.

If we do not retaliate with weapons of mass destruction as they have used on us, future terrorist attacks with WMD may not be detered and the consequences may be more than we are willing to bear.

Steve Buyer, IN-R

Again I was paraphrasing.

[DCBryan1]

I say, lets ROCK and lets roll....start using nukes on these 500m-1000m deep caves.

[spycatcher]

Peter King also supports nuke response

[wideawake]

Thank you, Buyer, for some sanity.

We have to end terrorism. That means ending terrorists. By any and all means necessary.

[DCBryan1]

The last 50 years of our existance was brought to you buy DETERANCE. If we do not make good on our promise to fight "fire with fire" (nuclear retaliation for any attack on US with NBC agents), we will be seen as a paper tiger, and we will lose the advantage of deterance, and ultimately, will be attacked by more sinister NBC weapons......IF we don't strike back.

oh, by the way, nuke baghdad while we are at it....Saddam had some cuplability.

I fear it's just not gonna happen until a couple million of us are dead. That's the insane height to which political correctness has climbed.

"If we do not retaliate with weapons of mass destruction as they have used on us, future terrorist attacks with WMD may not be detered and the consequences may be more than we are willing to bear."

He's exactly RIGHT!

[TopDog2]

Rep. Buyer is a good guy and he is right. We have said that we would respond to any NBC attack with nukes and it is time to back up our words with deeds.

[Lazamataz]

We have been attacked by Biological weapons, and as per our 50 year plan, need to fulfill our promise to deter such attacks by using small, tactical nuclear weapons on terrorists strongholds

I, at first, recoiled in horror. But you know what? On further reflection, he is right.

[pgkdan]

I thought that we had Bin Laden's location figured out to a 10 square mile system of caves. Why haven't we leveled those mountains. We have tactical nukes and we need to use them.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

This must be under consideration. And we must be serious.

[SolitaryMan]

start using nukes on these 500m-1000m deep caves.

Absolutely Right, nuclear weapons exploded inside these caves would collapse the tunnels, creating tombs for the evil ones.

I fear it's just not gonna happen until a couple million of us are dead. That's the insane height to which political correctness has climbed.

I think you are right. I also think that the reason why we see the floating of the idea of a domestic source for the anthrax attacks is so the administration won't have to deal with this issue right now.

Steve Buyer is exactly right. If the anthrax attacks are traced to a foreign source, we must respond with weapons of mass destruction. Otherwise, our bluff will have been called and all bets will be off.

[Goldi-Lox]

That's the insane height to which political correctness has climbed.

Might I suggest an editorial re-write???

That's the insane DEPTH to which political correctness has FALLEN.

[hoosierboy]

WOO-HOO! Turn up the oven!!!!!

[DCBryan1]

MississippiMan, all

You wrote: I fear it's just not gonna happen until a couple million of us are dead. That's the insane height to which political correctness has climbed.

That is the critical question!

To me it was on 11 SEP 01....6,000 dead by civilian jets IS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION, and an attack on our financial, political, and military infrastructure. I advocated the use of nuclear weapons on 12 SEP 01 or better yet, when we had a clear idea of who was involved.

Now, A month later, citizens are DYING of Anthrax, a nuisense of a biological weapon, but a biological weapon nonetheless.

We must retaliate after we find a good target, with small (1-50kt) nuclear weapons to send a message to future terrorists that "We will back up our promises" to retaliate with nuclear weapons anytime anyone uses nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons on our citizens, government, or military, at home or abroad.

I hope we wouldn't do this during Ramadan, we wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. (/sarcasm)

[StonyMan451]

We have to end terrorism. That means ending terrorists. By any and all means necessary.

Do you really mean that? Would you support a national identity card if that would help? Would you give up your right to privacy? Etc., etc., etc...

[MassExodus]

In response to the Anthrax filled letters from terrorists.
