For those of us who haven't accepted our dhimmitude, care to let us know when Ramadan is in 2006?

I’d say it’s highly unlikely. But since I live downwind of NYC, I’ll start stockpiling canned goods, fresh water and pull together the materials I need to quickly build a fallout shelter in the basement. Although if it’s a “dirty” conventional bomb, not a proper nuke, the danger from radioactive fallout from would be measured in city blocks, not thousands of miles.

Why did they bother to smuggle a nuclear bomb in? If there is one available on the blackmarket the democrats will buy it and donate it to AQ. Are the democrats using AQ talking points or is AQ using democratic talking points? Someone is coordinating their news releases.

As Humphrey Bogart could have said in Casablanca, "There are certain parts of New York that I would advise you not to nuke."

Dear Lord, but I agree with astigafa.
A nuke on US soil sounds like the first line in a recipe for turning Mecca and anywhere the Islamist hold sacred into so much glass.
That is not to say as B follows A, mind you, but it would change the American idea of appropriate response in a way that is not favorable at all for UBL and anyone that agrees with even his choice in burkas.

A comment on Jawa said they might as well set off a device in the heart of Mecca, it would be much quicker.

"We will all go together, when we go...
All so infused with an incandescent glow.
Just sing out a 'Te Deum'
When you see that ICBM.
Yes, we'll all go together when we go."

I say We head off the attack beforehand! The dirty cowards want to murder, so give them a million degree heat and be done wtf threat already..

The sad fact is that when another attack comes, it will likely originate via the Mexican border. If NY is nuked, will the Dems FINALLY agree to profiling? How about to building a border fence? Will Human Rights Watch scream about AQ violating the Geneva Convention? Will they do so if we retaliate with nukes to Mecca, etc? Will they finally accept that this is our war, not W's war?

Our fate lies in the answers to these questions...

Conspiracy theory stating Bush is planning to nuke an American city in 3...2...1.

James:

Its nice to see at least one other person remembers Tom Lerher lyrics and how to update them. I'd love to see an updated version of National Brotherhood Week, with "Kos and Malkin dancing cheek to cheek..."

But I digress,

A single bomb to Mecca would simply enrage the few remaining non-militant Muslims to radical levels. Perhaps the idea behind an attack on the US. Nuclear deterrance worked with the Soviets (and US) because they knew exactly what to expect.

We need to let the world know exactly what to expect in response to a nuclear attack on US interests here or abroad (perhaps something like this):

A suspension of all US foreign aid for 100 years or more to every country in the world. (motivate some less than supportive countries who receive our aid to be allitle more interested in supporting our war on terror)

Complete annihliation of any country found to have participated in the construction and delivery of the bomb, or who has threatened such. (Iran, N Korea and Pakistan for starters, S Arabia if one penny of money came from there to fund it). I am sure we could find the people and factories to manufacture a few hundred fuel bombs to incinerate these places to avoid having to resort to a nuclear response for all but the deep underground facilities we would need to destroy.

Close our borders and expell any illegal visitors unwilling to swear allegiance and accept immediate responsiblity to help rebuild/respond to the local disaster. (well, really we should do that now, but maybe Congress would be motivated to this after a city or two are fried)

I just haven't figured out a way to keep the Chinese from profiting from all this without us having to burn them to the ground as well.

Well, I hope that Ramadan passes without incident, but I have to laugh at what some of you think our response to a nuclear attack would be. I'll tell you exactly what it will be.

Nothing.

Bush has been paralyzed by the treasonous opposition in this country to the relatively bloodless Iraq war - do you honestly think he has the stones to up the carnage? I don't.

And even if he did, the Democrats would never let him do it. If there is an attack, they won't even bother pretending to care. They'll question the timing. They'll blame Bush. They'll call for an immediate impeachment. They'll beg the UN to be an intermediary. They'll call for immediate abandonment of Israel. And Bush will do nothing.

I guarantee it.

cmd hit it on the head. Within fifteen minutes there would be democratic leaders on TV saying it was all because of Bush's war in Iraq and the jihadists would leave us alone if we just left them alone.

Didn't realize you'd already posted this excellent article on the news. Thanks.

You are of course right in Your conclusions about how the Dimmicrats would treat any terrorist attack.. However I do not think that Bush would do nothing in response to an attack.

Hi,
I recently came accross an article by an obscure website called Crusade Media www.crusade-media.com - this article outlines the story of how Al Qaeda/Bin Laden have sought and obtained Nuclear and other weapons of Mass Destruction.
