(it stopped the lethal bleeding and infections caused by radiation exposure.)

"This is raw stock tooting by Sixty Minutes"

I think so, too, esp if the statement from the article is all this drug is known to do. Radiation sickness is complex, whether from a detonation or just particles....

Why not just cut out the middle man, avoid the "Ramadan rush", and nuke Mecca NOW?

There is no "best case scenario" for a nuke on nuclear soil. To even joke about it being good if it took out media outlets you don't like is reprehensible.

Because Mecca has done nothing meriting the annihilation of every man, woman, and child in a city held holy by one-third of the world's population.

Nuke Mecca, and this will be a war on Islam, and not just Islamic radical terrorism. Even every nominal Muslim would rightfully condemn us.

This "nuke Mecca" bullcrap shows that behind the thin veneer of tolerence, at the end, too many "conservatives" are just bigots.

Please do not reply to any more of my sarcastic postings with your self-righteous, condescending gibberish.

Who are you to label people whom you have never met as reprehensible or bigoted simply because they choose to make jokes about a serious issue?

Thank you.

PS - For future reference, I will make jokes about ANYTHING I want to make jokes about. If you do not like it you can go to the hot place.

Maybe I'm an idiot here, but why does the GOVERNMENT need to purchase said drug? Why can't individuals purchase it themselves, through their doctors? Why do we need to go through the government for this? Will Big Brother buy the duct tape for everyone's windows, too?

I did not say you were reprehensible - I said your joke was. There's a key difference.

Actually, it was the other person you called reprehensible.

You called ME a bigot. And a "conservative".

I'm SURE the first description is inaccurate, and if George W. Bush is a "conservative" then I'm not sure I'm one of those either. Actually, I'm more of a "Compassionate Libertarian with a juvenile sense of humor"... I think.

Wake up and smell the embers, brother. They've already fired a few salvos in this war. The sooner people realize what is at stake (Western Civilization) the sooner we can win this war against the savages.

Bigotry? HA! That's a hoot! Try "war for survival from Sharia". BTW "Moderate Muslim" is an oxymoron like "Jumbo Shrimp", "Military Intelligence", and "Civil Libertarian."

Actually now would be bad timing. Mecca would be a better target during the hajj.

"Nuke Mecca, and this will be a war on Islam, and not just Islamic radical terrorism."

If you wish to inhabit your fantasy-world, where most Muslims are "good" and a "small percentage" are giving Islam a "bad name", you are more than welcome.

Fortunately, each day, intelligent people are coming to the valid conclusion that Islam is not a religion at all, but a violent, fascist political philosophy, with "Allah" taking the place of "The Fatherland".

Cities are going to burn in this war and tens of millions are going to die. I would rather it be them, and the sooner, the better.

To: jude24; All

I am so glad you posted your thoughts on this. These "islam" must be destroyed threads are really tiresome, depressing, and frightning. Hey everyone that wants to NUKE mecca please give me some sort of moral Christian reasoning that would justify that. I swear there was a whole thread on here where everyone most were in agreement that the moslems were the ones burning churches in rural alabama for goodness sake.
If people dont like Islam engage in the marketplace of ideas. MUch of the Arab world has satelite dishes you can get the message out.
Soon there is going to a mosque bombed in the US and a lot of innocent people are going to get killed if some of the overblown talk doesnt get calmed down. We should be preparing our Arab allies for a possible attack on Iran not dishing Islam every 5 seconds.
Also, and I am not trying to defuse peoples speech here. I am against hate crime legislation. I support Denmark competly. BUt if some Mosque or Islamic school is bombed because of escalation of "hate" then dont be suprised if certain Federal agenices come and look at the archives of conversations that are held here.

Actually this just shows that many here have read Sun Tsu's Art of War and Karl Von Clausewitz's On War and understand the principles contained therein.

Jim, do you want this to be an anti-Islamic hate site?

End this now. It reflects poorly on conservatives. It makes us look like we're all members of the KKK.

Because very few people will be buying a Rad. Poison Treatment before a nuke attack. The government needs to buy large amounts of the drug to stockpile them in case of an attack. It's a matter of national security, its one of the few things the Feds. should actually be doing.

"I can live with that."

You know, your post makes a lot of sense. If it really did happen......and as long as we really did nuke Mecca in retaliation.....I probably could live with it too.
