[April Lexington]

There should be an announced policy. The first time a dirty nuke goes off in America, a ‘clean’ nuke goes off in Mecca.

Would you be expecting President Obama to be giving this speech this evening?

Nope, not at all. What I am suggesting, is that a prudent policy would be to cut through all the ambiguity and anounce direct and severe consequences to terrorism. That way, groups that would use terrorism would at least have a little something to fear themselves. Call it reverse terrorism.

Listen, if I were president (as unlikely an event as there has ever been), I would have a wheel in the oval office, sort of like a Wheel of Fortune wheel. On it, would be all of the nations that we regard as terrorist states. My policy would be, if America is hit by a 911 sort of attack, I would spin the wheel and take out retribution on whomever the magic wheel landed on. You can get OFF the wheel if you give us information on whatever wretched groups are operating in your out back. It certainly would be in the best interest of every tin-horn dictator to clue the United State in on these activities, otherwise, who knows, it might be THEM who is being pulled out of a spider hole. I'll never be president, of course, but anyone running is free to use my idea.
