That situation could change by way of China selling them the technology Clinton sold them.
Or, if the Clintons return to the White House in 2208 they could just go directly to the source.
The US nor any President is not going to indiscriminately bomb cities because we are angry. Any kind of nuke strike, if there is one at all, will be preceded by substantial documentation of complicity.
"Perhaps they're just waiting for the right sort of 'target rich' envrironment. Something like, say, hundreds of thousands of people out in the streets of a large number of major cities all at the same time?"
As in the upcoming May Day illegal protests???
Your insiders are incorrect. You would amplify the problem by nuking mecca.
"The US nor any President is not going to indiscriminately bomb cities because we are angry"
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and even Dresden might disagree with you.
When things are serious, your happy horse-s isn't gonna go far.
That's a misconception. Half the Arabs in Detroit are Christians (the Chaldeans) - most of the rest were refugees from Saddam's Iraq and most of them have no love for the jihadists.
That said there ARE plenty of jihadists here - just as there are in most major American cities.
I would be willing to bet there are more jihadists in the D.C. area than in Detroit. Just because C.A.I.R. is headquartered here doesn't mean the area is seething with jihadists.
How would it amplify please?
"I can just say, that I know some insiders and I know that it's already inflamed. You can not inflame it more or less by nuking mecca."
Baloney.
The obvious explanation is that the leftists are not really anti anything except a free and powerful United States.
So what's keeping them from using them now?
Because you would turn the percentage of muslims that are on our side, (you see some of them actually hate these radical muslims) and one that just dont want to be involved against us too.
Thus amplifying the problem.
Things are already at maximum inflamation.
It's alreading bubbling over, it can not get any worse. If anything, it'll calm down right afterwards. Many will see allah's a sham and doesn't protect mecca.
You don't realize how much importance they place on the invulnerability of mecca.
You said -- "Go ahead bud - 45 minutes later the Middle East will be a smoking crater."
It will never happen. Are they going to bomb Iraq with all our troops in there? Are they going to bomb Israel? Are they going to bomb Lebanon, when we're trying to get Syria out of there and get Lebanon established on their own again? Are they going to bomb Egypt, too?
You're simply "yapping" like a little dog with a bunch of big dogs around. They sure do make a lot of noise, but nothing happens.
Nothing will happen in the way of the U.S. nuking other countries.

No, a large percentage will realize that mecca/allah are not invulnerable. That'll be a huge hit to their morale..
A massive net gain.
It's not wishful thinking - it's because of the kind of people they are.
Did you hear them bluster and threaten before 9/11?
When they're quietest is when they're the most dangerous.
It's also "war on the cheap" - all they have to do is threaten and they have everyone running around in hysterics.
Well, as long as Russia has said it has accounted for and has had control over all it's nuclear issues and their underpaid scientists for the last 20 years, I'm good with that.
How about everyone else?
BTW - What about China, North Korea and Pakistan?
"Well, as long as Russia has said it has accounted for and has had control over all it's nuclear issues and their underpaid scientists for the last 20 years, I'm good with that"
And NK promised Billy that they'd not make nukes too.
C'mon, who cares what Russia says or doesn't. They're a useless source.
You said -- "I dont see how Right Whale or I are posturing that we not fight them. What we are pointing out is that if you destroy their religious sites you will make the problem worse."
This takes away their "foundation" for their religion. That's their thinking on the matter. That's how they perceive it. It may not be the way you perceive it, but it's their way. So eliminating all their holy sites -- totally and completely -- dismantling all the mosques in the U.S. and worldwide, jailing and (if necessary) killing all their clerics -- this will knock the ground out from underneath them.

You think that will be the result in a "martyr" based society? I dont.
