Has U.S. threatened Posted: January 7, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com 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."

Since the idol-worshipping religion of Mohammedanism focuses on the twin holy sites, turning them forever into a sea of green glass that will kill any future pilgrims for 5000 years might well annihilate the Mohammedan religion altogether - certainly it would throw that part of the world into a panic and a reexamination of their philosophy.
Remember that Arabs only understand force - Remember Elijah and the Prophets of Baal? That is the level on which they operate. If we were to show them that our God easily trumps their god (satan), they might actually take a step out of the middle ages.
Without Mecca & Medina, there is no 'allah'.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Great post broadsword.
Great post broadsword.
Thanks.
BTTT in light of todays threat.
I'm still trying to get over the Dome on the Rock.
Those creeps are Muslims from other countries who came for jihad.
All of the Muslims in the world are already alienated.
Bombs away!
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
Dittos on that. Nothing is for sure but my bet is nuking Mecca-Medina means no more Islam. So called god they call Allah cannot protect his most holy cities, then he ain't worth a damn. That's what most Muhammadans will conclude.
