Sometimes I think Tancredo is just a Pat Buchanan that hasn't yet made a fool of himself

He's doing a pretty good job of impersonating PJB so far.

"more ammo?"

Ammo is irrelevant. Ammo isn't needed. Yeesh. They have belief.

Oh, and we are winning? That's like saying a naked man who is blindfolded, has tied his hands behind his back and is in the ring with a baseball bat wielding Mike Tyson is winning because he only gets hit every so often.

I have a lot of respect for some aspects of Middle Eastern culture. They think very long term. American's don't even remember what 9-11 stands for.

OK we nuke Mecca, then what happens?

You can't be serious! This is the whine of the quisling left! Oh no! don't hurt us, please!

We do this after they've already nuked us, what more could they do to us?

You should practice this phrase over and over:

"Thank you sir islamist, may I have another?"

Because you're going to be saying it a lot if we don't do something drastic to islam.

Yes, but he wasn't a man of "nuance" and he definately hadn't been PC'd (neutered).

But the real point is pre-announcing our intention. It is the only deterrent we have. Unfortunately, it will not happen.

Unfortunately, we should have made that announcement
right after 9/11. No Afghanistan; no Iraq. No homeland
security.

Doesn't history say that civilized nations fall because
they just can't fight with the same vengeance as the enemy?

Here's another.

Amazing. Someone is revealing that nukes are in America and the knee jerk reaction is to censure ourselves and discussions on retaliations.

Way to go.

It were not a gaffe. The PC America has become the embarassing gaffe

I don't see it as a gaffe at all. I think it should be our standard policy, just like it was our standard policy to nuke the USSR to cinders if they ever attacked us.

You're right on. If they obliterate NYC it's all over and the only suitable reply is to vaporize Mecca. I don't think these primatives would know how to deal with such a response. However, I do disagree with you including LA as an important target for Islamic terrorists. What would they bomb, Union Station? After all, there is no there there and nobody would notice!

That really is what it is about. To paraphrase another saying, all that is left to determine is the amount.

that's why we're winning

Have you counted the dead?
Have you counted the money spent?
Have you counted the dollars & time lost
with homeland security?

Right On!


A lot of it right here on FR....


It's going to come down to a war sooner or later. I hope there's at least one politician ready to play hard ball.

I don't think so. Both are existential threats to the nation. Actually our policy should be not merely Mecca but all the Muslim population centers in the world. Kill so many of them that the rest will be too busy trying to survive to be able to attack us. Any other policy is so naive as to be suicide for a civilization. The only open question should be what is the threshold to cross to engage that response. A nuked US city would do it for me.

It would have earned the Russians a fiery fate, and I don't see why the Muslims deserve to be treated any better.

Tancredo's threat reached the Pakistani Times, and that is a GOOD THING!

Since they are not native speakers, they misinterpreted the radio broadcast.

I SAY GOOD!

I'm all for a swift and draconian response if an attack on our cities happens. But Mecca isn't and shouldn't be the target. It ought to be Damascas, or Riyadh, or somewhere else that's a strategic target worthy of a response. But vaporizing the religious center of a billion people ain't the way to win the war on terror.

The war is against Islam, not against a "tiny minority" which "perverts Islam". This is sheer folly and denial on the highest levels. Sadly, the West will only realize this when it is too late, and millions lie dead in smouldering cities. Mecca is not only a logical and legitimate target, but perhaps the only effective target against our mortal enemies.
