Just Do it!

[SerpentDove]

So in four years, if Hellary is elected, we might well expect another attack...

[Blast_Master]

No, they haven't.

Don't forget about the WND Poll

What would you think of threatening to nuke Mecca if terror attack made on U.S.?

The threat should include lacing the bomb with pig's blood	43.86% (3598)

The Islamist mentality is so extreme, only a threat of this magnitude is likely to be effective	39.85% (3269)

It would be scary but perhaps necessary	4.08% (335)

The U.S. would never make such a threat	3.47% (285)

The U.S. might make such a threat, but it would never carry it out	2.08% (171)

It would be immoral	1.80% (148)

It would make the U.S. the worst terrorist nation in history	1.72% (141)

It would be an obscene over-reaction	1.45% (119)

Other	1.13% (93)

It would be overkill	0.55% (45)

This is exactly what I've been saying for three years since 3 of my good friends spoke their last words from the South Tower.

I'm willing to bet there is an "op order" specifically targeting Mecca...and UBL was "back-channeled" the "message". You know JFKerry would never give the order.

I remember once while playing chess on Yahoo, there was a young Arab man spouting, in the chat room, all the usual anti American garbage about how we were at war with Islam. I explained that this was illogical because if we were truly at war with Islam Mecca and all the holy sites could quickly be reduced to ashes. This seemed to shut him up and give him some pause for thought. I have long maintained that the greatest fear that the extremists should have is that we would agree with them. There is a struggle within my soul between my anger and the principles of justice that I have learned as a citizen of this country. I know that this country has existed and prospered not on the theory that might makes right but on the premise that right makes might. That is why when we defeat countries, we try not to make them not into our slaves but try to make them stand with us as free men. Perhaps more powerful then nuclear weapons is the thought of freedom. There are those whoever who desire not peace and who prey upon the innocent in the name of their religion. It is those Islamic extremists who must be hunted like mad dogs and given no quarter. That they should fear us is a good thing, but that we lose our souls to hatred and revenge is not. It is our national character to fight, and I believe that we will fight for the values that shape our country which may prove to destroy the extremists more than any bomb.

Latitude 21 to 25 degree north and longitude 39 to 49 degree east. Do our pilots need to know anything else?

Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?

Nyet.

"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."

Cartoon in its comparison. If mecca is blown, you've got 1 billion Muslims outside of Mecca who are -- not under water.

Nuking Mecca makes sense as a deterent. One more hit on US soil and their holy sight where they need to make a pilgrimage at least once will be a nuclear waste sight. Al Queda will be held responsibile. We hopefully can have a mass conversion to Christianity. Islam is a false religion.

Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?

I don't know if the U.S. has but I guarantee that China and Russia have relayed this threat to the leaders of Islam...probably on 9/12/2001
