We've learned that the 'soldiers' who commit these acts are of limited intel value.
And we know that the enemy within our ranks will do everything they can to obstruct any delivery of justice should the terrorist remain in official custody.
Better that media reports, and -ideally- videotape, of their unspeakably hideous deaths at the hands of a mob be broadcast to the American people.
Oh it is, and it's yet another tiny reason not to fly. I won't fly because I don't feel like being treated like a KGB political prisoner.
What should be our response to such attacks?
Kill them all. Kill every last one of those Islamic terrorist bastards like the cockroaches they are. And completely bar any Muslim from coming into this country ever again.
Even that won't be enough. We have to drain the swamp, and that means either we begin a crash nuclear power program or we seize their oil fields. I don't have any problem with either or both.
Nah--that is only a "post terror" palliative. How about a preventive measure? Target two each 1 megaton nuclear missiles on Mecca and Medina, and announce that ANY FURTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS on the US will result in the conversion of those two targets into very large, glass-lined, holes in the desert.
You don't necessarily need the latest and greatest Stinger missiles -- there are plenty of old Russian SA-7s floating around. And it wouldn't matter if every attack succeeded in downing its target, as panic would result from any missile attack, not to mention a coordinated attack at multiple airports. The only real trick for the bad guys is smuggling the missiles in, and keeping Aschcroft from detaining their key people -- so pray for the FBI to succeed in these roles. The attack itself is just too easy to do, and impossible to prevent. This truly is the airlines' worst nightmare...
TWA 800. Check out the more than a hundred witness reports of a streak of light ascending into the sky before the plane blew up. And check out the strange behavior of the government during the ensuing "investigation." Such as the fact that the CIA, which is theoretically the foreign intelligence service, made a film about why all those witnesses were wrong, about a domestic carrier plane carrier that crashed in domestic waters, and broadcast it during prime-time newscasts. Or how it came to be that the head of the NTSB managed to "accidentally" fall overboard from an FBI-controlled ship, and soon thereafter went along with the FBI takeover of the "investigation." And about a hundred other similar things.
I realize that this would simply be a 'feel good' moment.
"...How about a preventive measure? Target two each 1 megaton nuclear missiles on Mecca and Medina, and announce that ANY FURTHER TERRORIST ATTACKS on the US will result in the conversion of those two targets into very large, glass-lined, holes in the desert..."
Of course!
(Although it would probably be best to flip a coin and summarily destroy one of these targets in order to assist the sand goblins in their efforts to focus on improving their ability to work and play well with others.)
Here in Orlando, there's plenty of places for somebody with a man-portable SAM to fire on commercial aircraft taking off or landing at OIA. Several tall hotel buildings, two toll roads north and south, lots of wooded area within the perimeter (and no patrols inside the perimeter), etc. You'd figure there would be aggressive patrolling by the police within a few miles of the airport to deter this, but there's not. Of course, these terrorists can't even get their s**t together enough to do logistically simple stuff like bombs or shootings.
Of course, that looks to me like one of their weaknesses. They go for the big scores instead of lots of little ones that would rattle us just as badly. Remember the Beltway snipers? Two guys had a fairly large area living in fear, and they didn't even go through a full box of 5.56mm ammo, which you can buy just about anywhere. How simple would it be for a couple of guys to waltz into a shopping mall during Christmas shopping season and start shooting everything that moves until they're out of ammo or killed? Or (since I'm in the Land of The Mouse), doing the same thing at Disney? Or, like posted here, to pop off some SAMs or RPGs or shell the runways with mortars?
I'm glad that people are thinking about these possible avenues of attack, but so far it doesn't seem to be their MO.
Hard to tell who would benefit from verbal diarrhea based on a false premise.
Of course there's a defense.
We're not talking shooting down airliners cruising at 35,000 feet here.
Shoulder fired SAMs? LOL... LOL...
That's all I'm going to say, but this article can stress out only the most ignorant among us.
Nah...
You have to remember, these imitation-human-beings are irrational; they don't think like humans do.
They would retaliate against the Vatican or the nearest orphanage.
I say target one square block in downtown of every Muslim capital...
Level them after the first trrorist act.
Level every "legislature" in every capital after the second terrorist act.
Level all the "presidential palaces" after the third.
If this is done systematically and without any discussion or hand-wringing... guaranteed positive results.
