Before he became a candidate for president, Tom Tancredo was telling Americans that the U.S. should threaten to bomb Mecca if Islamic terrorists successfully detonate a nuclear device in America...
And the congressman and presdential candidate is not backing down from these comments. He told an audience in Iowa today, almost exactly two years later, that as president he would advocate the very same position...

You forgot your /sarc tag. You CAN’T make them any more mad then they already are.
Tanc ping.
“It will just make them madder”
Madder than the SP episodes mocking Moe-ham-head?
True. :) But Tom is a whacko if he thinks this will make them back down. Well, we already know Tom is a whacko.
But it would make me happier if they did nuke Mecca in retaliation.
If those nuts bombed another one of our cities, that would be a nice tit-for-tat.
It’s one thing to threaten, but will we follow through? I know President Tancredo would, but there’s not a great chance of that...
Um, the current “winning hearts and minds” approach is only resulting in hearts and minds splattered. It’s far past time to either retaliate accordingly or GTHO.
Time to get medieval on the literally medieval.
No, he’s just mistaken. Anywhere a muslim takes a crap can be declared a holy site.
In the current atmosphere, something like this just cannot be said. I don’t really understand why, but it seems that way.
Not doing that is a form of national suicide actually.
Whose side are you on? I think it’s a GREAT idea.
I wasn’t advocating the winning hearts and minds approach. I just think this would radicalize the non-radical Muslims, and instead of having 100 million against us, we would have 1 billion against us.
Let me guess, you probably think Tancredo’s ideas on illegal immigration make him a crackpot too?
This man is getting my vote,if he keeps it up. This is the way you fight these people. 1 Bomb = Bye Bye Mecca
I don’t know, it might make the radicals wilt. If Allah can’t protect Mecca, he can’t/won’t protect them either.
It’s that strong horse thing.
What a moroon. Do you think groveling to those that behead is a good strategy (like the moroons in DC)?
How it is:
