Why hasn't Osama bin Laden's terror network executed an attack on U.S. soil since 9-11?

Simple, says Dr. Jack Wheeler, creator of an acclaimed intelligence website dubbed "the oasis for rational conservatives": The U.S. has threatened to nuke the Muslim holy city of Mecca should the terror leader strike America again.

On his website, To the Point, Wheeler explains how the Bush administration has identified the potential of wiping Mecca off the map as bin Laden's ultimate point of vulnerability – the Damoclean Sword hanging over his head.

"Israel … recognizes that the Aswan Dam is Egypt's Damoclean Sword," writes Wheeler. "There is no possibility whatever of Egypt's winning a war with Israel, for if Aswan is blown, all of inhabited Egypt is under 20 feet of water. Once the Israelis made this clear to the Egyptians, the possibility of any future Egyptian attack on Israel like that of 1948, 1967, and 1972 is gone."

Wheeler says talk of bin Laden's Damoclean Sword has infiltrated the Beltway.

Writes Wheeler in his members-only column: "There has been a rumor floating in the Washington ether for some time now that George Bush has figured out what Sword of Damocles is suspended over Osama bin Laden's head. It's whispered among Capitol Hill staffers on the intel and armed services committees; White House NSC (National Security Council) members clam up tight if you begin to hint at it; and State Department neo-cons love to give their liberal counterparts cardiac arrhythmia by elliptically conversing about it in their presence.

"The whispers and hints and ellipses are getting louder now because the rumor explains the inexplicable: Why hasn't there been a repeat of 9-11? How can it be that after this unimaginable tragedy and Osama's constant threats of another, we have gone over three years without a single terrorist attack on American soil?"

Available only to subscribers of To the Point, Wheeler ends his column by explaining the effectiveness of the Mecca threat.

"Completely obliterating the terrorists' holiest of holies, rendering what is for them the world's most sacred spot a radioactive hole in the ground is retribution of biblical proportions – and those are the only proportions that will do the job.

"Osama would have laughed off such a threat, given his view that Americans are wussies who cut and run after a few losses, such as Lebanon in 1983 and Somalia in 1993. Part of Bush's rationale for invading Afghanistan and Iraq – obviously never expressed publicly – was to convince Osama that his threat to nuke Mecca was real. Osama hates America just as much as ever, but he is laughing no more."

Wheeler says bin Laden is "playing poker with a Texas cowboy holding the nuclear aces," so there's nothing al-Qaida could do that could come remotely close to risking obliterating Mecca.

Writes Wheeler: "So far, Osama has decided not to see if GW is bluffing. Smart move."

And if not, why not?

That said, just how would W communicate that threat to OBL w/o the entire world finding out?

Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I back you up completely

Your sword is sharp tonight. And if he attacks you for callng him anti-American, he is a hypocrite because he called most of the people here un-American. For what? Because we don't want a caliphate on American soil? Because we don't want another 3,000 American citizens being sliced open, roasted, crushed, vaporized and slpatted on city concrete? I never wanted to hate anyone; I have been the victim of religious bigotry, but if the rabbis ever start extolling the faithful to kill; I will denounce my heritage forever.

[Happy2BMe]

Inshalla!

[ariamne]

He does seem to flair up rather dramatically with the insults.

[MeekOneGOP]

[ariamne]

No, we want to suppress those who would see us dead or wearing burkas/chadors and crawling five times a day to the mosque everytime the call for prayers to a false god is howled.

"What is best in life/" To crush the jihadists, to drive their collaborators before you, and to hear the lamentations of their media! Allahu Fubar!

[fastattacksailor]

He posts insults---and little else.

[ariamne]

Always with you in spirit; if not always in cyberspace.

God Bless America, the GREATEST country on earth. God Bless Israel, our ONLY ally in the Middle East. And--God Bless George W. Bush, our re-elected President (that's for the lurking liberals, I know they're out there; I used to do it when I was one!).

Its great to be on the same side with FReepers like USF, Jan in Colorado, broadsword, etc. Love you guys.

Thanks for your comments...

You said -- "I think your wisdom and that of the Spirit that dwells withing you is better spent on those who are on the edge of believing...who are still open-minded."

An open board like this is different than talking to someone one-on-one. In a one-on-one case, your efforts are only for that particular person. But, on a board like this, there are many readers.

Who knows what those other readers are like and what they are thinking? Many are not posting, but only reading. I'm sure all comments are getting wide distribution here on Free Republic.

If I weren't posting here, with these things..., I might be doing something much less productive, like sleeping or eating... :-)

Did you say that in your best "Ahnold" voice? I love that line from the movie...it cracks me up every time!

Many thanks!

Back you both up. Loved your profile. Wish mine were as prescient. (better late than never; we reformed libs are like ex-smokers..)

[weenie]

But the readers wonder why a person of such wisdom would "caste their pearls before swine."

You are speaking the message of Power...ask Him what the correct way is. Do not rely on your own wisdom...step up to the Plate...He will not let you down (you probably already know this so please forgive me any presumption).

[hope]

Nice try ace.. What a long winded line of shit.

[weenie]

Does the practice of taqiyah run clear to the soul?

The tentacles of evil do, I believe, run to the soul...to the marrow of a person...

I feel sorry for Muslims...they are possessed of the greatest evil (like the NAZI's). Whenever a group is against the Chosen people...they are against God.

Just my opinion, but God's chosen people are the Jews who believe in Him and anyone who believes in His Wonderful Son...

Forgive me (all on whose toes I might step)...but are you willing to accept His will..are you willing to let go and let Him rule.

[GOPJ]

bump for later

[APFel]

Yes. You are worse than any Liberal threat to the conservative movement. You are a lazy minded "conservative" who can't be troubled to do anything beyond skim some daunting block of text or document with concepts beyond your comprehension.

Is that a little more direct and less long winded for you?
