You seem to think that by not saying something like that, maybe one less terrorist will be recruited because of one less snipit of propaganda

What I am saying is the politicians up in Congress some times need to shut their big fat mouths and just let the military, the President and those who actually know what they are doing .. do their job

Among the lessons not learned from Vietnam is that politicians make bad generals, even if they happen to have an "R" next to their names.

There's no need to "nuke" or bomb Mecca. I'd think if we lost a little more cultural sensitivity in places like Iraq we'd get a helluva lot farther in the WoT than bombing Mecca would get us.

Bombing Mecca would be about the same as someone bombing the Statue of Liberty: very, very little strategic value. Don't get me wrong; I'd laugh my worthless a** off if it actually happened, but I don't see it advancing the cause very far.
