LJDRVR said:You "Kill the muslims" types are sheep. It's so easy to have that sentiment, I've said it myself before in frustration.
But here's the problem: Most of our nuclear weapons are strategic. They offer no deterence because this is assymetrical warfare and our enemies know we can't use them. We do posses tactical nukes, but how do you arm-chair politicians suggest we use those? On US cities? That's where the terrorists are. Here's a quiz: The recently foiled terror plot in the UK was perpetrated by whom? British-born citizens. You folks calling for profiling based on race need to take a look at the photographs released so far.
So, let's say we nuke Iran tommorow. If we do, how long til the war with China starts? Answer: that day.
You guys are advocating excessive use of force when we haven't even used sufficient conventional force yet. Our government knows exactly where OBL is. We're not taking him out because of political considerations with the Pakistanis and Chinese.:nuts:
It's time you started demanding better leadership in our own government instead of crying for mass destruction elswhere.
One last thing: How many of you "This is WWIII" types have served or are serving?
I thought so.
First off, since you foolishly believe that only people who have served have the right to comment, let me state that I spent 11 years active duty. I will humor you even further by stating I've flown missions over Bosnia/Kosovo (ahhh those were good times) and then in both OEF and OIF. I believe that we are in a world war and that we are the right side of things. So now that I have passed your litmus I would like to comment on your "We know where OBL is but won't get him cause of China and Pakistan" nonsense. You sir need to put on a brand new pair of Nike running shoes, drink some special fruit punch, drape a purple cloth over your head and take a nice long nap on a bunk bed becuase your asteroid is rounding Saturn's third moon and should be here by the end of next week. Wouldn't want you to miss it.
While I don't have access to National Security briefs and don't have a lick of proof, I am quite certain that we don't know where OBL is. It's absurd to think otherwise. Let's see, W's approval rating is in the dumpster (and he hates black people), the Dems want the heads of Cheney, Rummey and Connie, the war is a mess, not to mention that there are 3000 dead Americans... and yet according to you, we know exactly where OBL (the source of all W's misery) is, but it's being kept a secret so we don't go after him and upset China and Pakistan. Makes sense to me... where is my purple cloth?
Even if OBL was hiding under Putin's presidental palace in Moscow, I am quite confident that W would send some special forces in there to get him.
