London Braces for Attack; ‘Miracle’ If There Isn’t One

Surely the liberals understand the “good” people of the world must prevail. Negotiations with these brainwashed thugs is not the answer. Kill them!!!!!!!!

Good plan, Joe. It’s precisely that type of rational thought that the terrists lack.

I live in NYC, breathed the smoke of 9/11, and I’m a lot more afraid of the commenters to this story than I am of any terrorists.

Richard and Joe,
Kill who?
Drop a bomb where?

Ummm, and I suppose England should have nuked Northern Ireland back in the day to prevent more attacks from the IRA?!?! Exactly where would you “drop the bomb”, Joe? And a “dirt bomb”? Sounds messy, but I’m sure Tide and All-Temperature Cheer would sell like hotcakes…

Maybe we should wise up one day and realize we are being wickedly manipulated by our own governments. Drop the bomb where exactly?
What would happen to oil transport then? And how would we ever rationalize non-proliferation fter that?
Use your brain for something like rational thinking!

Oh yeah… drop the bomb. That’ll solve everything. And they’ll LOVE us after that.

Yes, but who do we drop the bomb on?

Drop it where, Joe? Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, England all have terrorist activity. Even the United States. So where would you like to start with the brutal killing of thousands of innocent people in order to kill a few dozen terrorists?

I am sick to death of the “political correctness” that’s putting so many people in danger. So what if it’s not “politically correct” to profile? It’s one of the most practical ways to begin to get this horrific situation under control. I never thought that I would actively advocate the singling out of religious group for closer scrutiny, but radical Islamics have made it abundantly clear that are absolutely unwilling to give everyone else the religious and secular freedom they want for themselves–and that they will do anything they deem necessary to crush those who oppose them. Enough already…If violent Islamic fundamentalists cannot play well with others, it is time to remove them from the playground altogether.

drop it where? London or New York? That’s where the terrorists were last time, and most likely to strike again

“Drop the bomb”? Where? The terrorists are not in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. They are throughout Europe and the U.S. Waging war in the Middle East is for private, corporate gain and not in the interest of saving the world from terrorism- an effective excuse nontheless, which is apparent from the preceding comments. Resources would be better spent domestically, as our future is being squandered to the benefit of a few.

We cannot use the bomb against them – it will turn the rest of the world against us, further than they already are.

despite the tough talk of the previoius two comments, there is in fact no “they” to kill or nuke, were you of a mind to do so. the West has very cleverly implemented a policy of embedding all manner of “they” within Western society, without thought as to cultural or political allegience. the threat is all around you, and at least in Britain, likely born there. tis now done, and there is no reversing it. the only effective policies now are either stop meddling in the Middle East, or turn the West into an unbearable police state. obviously that latter is the course which seems to be prevailing. good luck; we will all need it.

Dear Leanne, this really scares me. Jim

Peaceful religion of islam? My a**! We’re all fools for thinking dialogue and negotiation will deter anyone set on killing themselves anyway. So, mohammed now is the #1 name ahead of George in England? They’ll wish they were fighting Sean again instead of mohammed.

The root of the word terrorism is “terror”. If you are afraid, if you desire retribution, if your life is disrupted, the terrorists win. If you start or perpetuate a conflict with the Muslim culture, the terrorists win. The overwhelming majority of Muslims want what you and I want: Happiness, Safety, Home, Family, Peace. They are our best insurance against being attacked; we must treat them with respect if we expect them to assist us with this mutual problem.
“But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.” Matt 5:39

I’d certainly like to see the war on terror succeed or at least move to the next level. But the vexing question is who do we drop the bomb on, Joe? It’s not like Al Qaeda has a capital city. Times have changed and this enemy is nearly impossible to fight in a conventional sense.

Ok, who do we drop the bomb on? The terrorists do not come from one country they are everywhere and embedded in many countries the world over?
And please don’t say Iraq…anyone with a brain knows that the War on Terror and the self-imposed War in Iraq are two totally different things.

The problem with the bomb is where would you bomb? They have sleeper cells and active cells all over the world, and if you were to bomb one, or two of the more concentrated places, you would just infuriate the other cells even more and cause more to convert to extremism out of anger. We need to figure out a way to fight a cause that has been veiled as a religious belief.

They’re coming. They’re coming. Make no mistake.
And the liberal, appeasing, “can’t we all get along” approach has done nothing but made them bolder and more determined.

There is no hope in Islam. And for most trapped in that religion, no choice from a cultural perspective. It was started by a man who declared war, and will forever be trapped inside its own narrowsightedness, where elders in the community send their children to blow themselves up…for what? For nothing! For fear!
Jesus Christ came into the world to bring life and light and hope to all. He encourages us when He said, “I have come that you might have abundant life.” and “I have come to seek and save that which was lost.”
Have a Merry Christmas celebrating His journey to this place in which we cause and endure so much trouble apart from Him.

I hope the above posts are being sarcastic. In this day and age, when reading just a little bit of history shows us just how useless war is, people cannot seriously point to using more guns and bombs to fix anything.
Read a book… preferably a history book… one not written by a warmonger.
Smartest move for the US: spend one years worth of your military budget on renewable energy.

Odd that BA and London cancelled all outgoing flights for 48 hours. You would almost think they’ve never experienced fog before.

I’m sorry, but I seem to be missing your point Joe… How exactly will killing people already contemplating suicide (ie- suicide bombers)change anything?
Expect to maybe turn people that may have not been contemplating becoming suicide bombers, into suicide bombers? If those people that were not previously considering becoming suicide bombers, felt that it made no difference what they did or didn’t do… They’re going to be killed anyway, no matter what they do?
I know that if I felt that no matter what I did or did not do… I was going to be killed… It’s possible that I might want to take as many people out with me as a I could. A situation such as the one you’re advocating could very easily create terrorists out of people that might have otherwise never considered such actions. If they’re going to die senseless deaths for things that have absolutely nothing to do with them… Is it not possible those people might not think, “Hey, if I’m going to die for no reason, I’m taking a hell of a lot of other innocent people with me?”

Apparently, the secret meetings that John Kerry and other Democrats have been having with terrorist leaders around the middle east haven’t been working. Perhaps they should say, “We surrender!” a little louder so they understand. Or maybe they already do understand, and this is their response.

No they dont, They don’t have a clue. Once they finally realize the gravity of the situation they will screame for the military to do something then blame us for not being prepared.

Joe, there is no COUNTRY of terrorism. Terrorism is started by ONE person and spread to others through word of mouth and beliefs. You cannot simply destroy any specific place… that’s what makes fighting terrorism so difficult. The only way to cure this problem is to get these people to understand that our way of life is not evil and that we’re not evil people. Once they understand the beauty of life and that there are bad people everywhere, they can begin to stop killing us. However, you cannot just blindly bomb any specific country or set of people.
Terrorism is inevitable, for there will always be Timothy McVeighs in the world. Better education and understanding will prevent it on a larger scale.

Time for Britain to stop letting these people in as immigrants in the first place.

We who support the War on Terror are now called fear mongers by liberal members of the media and congress. Alan Colmes, Harry Reid, even Bill Clinton are three such types I can name from memory.
Do these Americans really think that the Bush Administration was complicit in the 9/11 attacks? What about the Subway bombing in London or the commuter train carnage in Madrid? Folks, you are suicidally insane if you think sponsors of terrorism like Iran can be reasoned with in dialog. The moment the good, civilized world begins negotiations with evil, barbaric regimes is when Evil has won and Good has been diminished – forever! The Iraq Study Group report is thankfully DOA.

Perhaps it is time that the British rethink their open borders/multiculturism regarding Islam. This is going to get much worse before it gets better.

I agree. Where should we bomb first?

Surely if we took the time to ubderstand their feelings….

Will the USA have to save Europe AGAIN??? Didn’t anyone learn ANYTHING from WW1 and WW2?

By now it should be clear to everyone that the west is at war with radical Islam, a war that we did not start. They simply despise us because of our beliefs and are hell bent on converting or killing us all. There will be many innocent deaths on both sides of this war and it will last many years. It will only stop when “good Muslims” rout out the evil ones and demand that they stop! Unfortunately the end is not in sight. Happy Hana-rama-kwans-mass.

Well, “Joe”, where do you suggest we drop the Bomb? Is there any place in particular that dropping a nuke on would make the terrorists stop what they’re doing? Maybe Mecca? Yeah, that’s it! We’ll destroy Mecca, and then the terrorists will stop, because they’ll worry that we’ll… uhm… bomb Mecca again.

the liberals are attacking the christians,,, just wait till the moslems attack the liberals.. its just a matter of time…
wakeup liberals.. you should be helping the christians.

These are small battles won in the course of a lost war. American and Brittish moral decay are bringing on God’s judgement. If you read the most accurate history book in the world, aka The Holy Bible, you will find story after story of the Israelites declining faithfulness to God’s commands, and God consequently raising up a foe to bring judgement on his unfaithful people. If we do not know history we are doomed to repeat it.

With a bag over our heads, we march happily into the future unable to see further than our noses.
Until the press/mass media wakes up and sees the common threat we all face as being very real and imminent, we shall continue to be essnetially defenseless against an implacable, vicous enemy driven by a hateful ideology … and we shall accordingly remain in grave peril.
One must ask why there is no clarion-call to the agressive, unified self-defense our innocent and blameless citizenry.
Our internal politcal differences and a perverse self-hatred have renedered us mostly helplessly ineffective in our own defense.
Our enemies see this a religious war and they will give no-quarter; while we ignore that reality and blame ourselves for their hatred. It’s PREPOSTEROUS!!!

You can not “fight” terror with rule of law. You cannot fear killing “innocents” when in fact there are none. You must simply defeat them completely and entirely by eliminating the threat altogether. And all the better if in scale and terms that will dissuade any survivors. Do you think if they had the bomb on 9-11 they would not have used it? They demonstrated that they will use any means possible to achieve as much damage as possible. When (not if, we are past that)they have atomic means, they will most assuredly use it.

Joe, the problem is that this is a very different war… first off, using nuclear weapons would not end the terrorist threat. Terrorists have a low density in any population… even in a known stronghold, killing a few terrorists with WMD would kill hundreds of thousands of neutrals or even friendlies. The brutality of such an act would prove what terrorists say about us, and many more would join ranks with them. From that stand-point only, I’m astonished you seriously consider that.
Not to mention the moral and ethical questions of using nuclear weapons, which you seem to be just fine breaking.

I like the drop the bomb idea. Just to be fair though, I would give people 72 hours to clear out of Western Pakistan and Eastern Afganistan. Then I would drop a few tactical nukes on them. Let’s stir up the hornets nest and stop assuming that these animals think like we do. All they understand is death and war. I would think of outlawing Islam also.

“Drop the bomb” on who or what exactly? Drop the bomb on Pakistan, and see what happens with their nukes? Or maybe some other random Muslim country? Or maybe London itself, since that’s where this particular batch of crazies is at the moment?
You see the potential problems with all of these targets?

political correctness be damned..
profiling fills a purpose here..
terror attacks aren’t done by middle
aged white women,they are primarily
carried out by 18-35 year old men/
women of middle eastern descent,some
from the south pacific rim,phillipines,indonesia,pick a
fundamentalist,radical islamic hotbed
country and you most likely will find
al qaeda sympathizers or members
willing to carry out terrorist
plans…don’t wimp out like the u.s. and give in to whining a.c.l.u
organizations or whining islamic organizations bemoaning the “racist” profiling that goes on against their people…citizens of
the world need to be protected from
radical religous zealots who ,if
they can’t convert people,will kill
them

Violence will not stop violence. Phrases like “Drop the bomb” and “kill them” should make the American public (not to mention the World ) sick. If you “men” want more violence, why don’t you volunteer yourselves to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan.

DROPPING THE BOMB?? ON THESE PEOPLE IS NOT THE ANSWER. IT WOULD BE IN A CONVENTIONAL WAR, HOWEVER THESE PEOPLE (MUSLIM EXTREMIST)SEE DYING IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH AS A GOOD THING, SOMETHING THEY ASPIRE TO DO. SO KILLING THESE PEOPLE ONLY GIVE THEM WHAT THEY STRIVE FOR. THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT THE WAR ON TERROR IS TO CUT THESE PEOPLE OFF. NO MORE AID OF ANY KIND, NO FOOD, NO MONEY, NO MEDICINE…GIVE COUNTRIES THAT CAN NOT CLEAN UP THERE COUNTRY AND IMPRISON THESE PEOPLE. THEN CLOSE THE BOARDERS TO IMMIGRANTS FROM THESE COUNTRIES.

Eye for Eye
If they nuke a European city or US city ,let us nuke Al Madinah or Makkah(Meccia)
We can call thing even
But I think things would ony get worst if that happen

Well then … so much for “Peace on Earth … Good will towards men”. I guess we’ve gone beyond the point of reason and onto global thuggery if we take Joe’s advice and nuke them. Then how are we different from them? How do you justify destroying innocent lives even if you think it somehow preemptively protects us? And here I thought we were trying to spread civilization.

But if we just talk to them & tell them that we love them they will love us back.

I don’t think you can drop a bomb and eradicate terrorism. The problem is that terrorists come from multiple countries and have infiltrated us. We need more spooks and technology to find this scum and destroy them.

Who is this senior official and why are they leaking this if the Brits are still trying to round these people up?!?!

So let’s keep pooring money into Iraq… That’ll make us safe.
Jus’ remeber folks: The war on terror, brought to you by the folks who brought you the war on drugs (and what a stunning success that has been.)
Pax, Steve

Time to show the black flag to all terrorists and traitors..in Iraq, or any where else that they’re found

can anyone say NUKE EM? then, on the way home nuke iran…..the world would be a better place.

I agree but drop the bomb on who?

“Eye for an eye; tooth for a tooth” does not work in a free world. Joe is on the right track-let us terrorize “them”. But-where do we start? There are so many “out there” that want “us” to have what “they” have: misery, hopelessness, gloom. Can they not be happy with what “we” have: democracy, freedom, hope? Is “their” life so much better than “ours”? As much as I would love to “strike first”; I just do not know where without harming those on “our” side. At least I can wish us all: “Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Man”.

but why would we want to attack them before they attack us? that would only be common sense, something liberals do not understand.

Vanquish your enemies in order to have true peace and victory. Anything else falls short.

Why aren’t the liberals out there trying to engage these terrorists in tea and biscuits? Can’t we just get along? Well, the answer is no.
Not all Muslim are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim. Humm! Is there a connection here? Yes.
I call for profiling Middle Eastern citizens, stricter immigration standards for people from the Middle East and for a policy of shoot first, ask questions second, aplogize third and compensate when we go wrong fourth.
Better 1 dead terrorist than 12 injured British civilians.

I think everyone would prefer no war, use negotiation, etc, but there are people this world with which negotiations will never, ever, ever, work. The end of a war cannot be negotiated. It must be won. If the USA backs out now, the war is not over, it’s just on hold until the next time the media and the masses are forced to face reality and step up the awesome responsibility that the last superpower on the planet holds.

Time to consider internment camps and an end to immigration from the Middle East

So enlighten us, Joe, and tell us where you would drop that bomb of yours — the one that you think would make all those fanatics dreaming of “martyrdom” at the hands of “infidels” think twice about attacking Western targets? Assuming for a second that a preemptive nuclear attack wouldn’t be playing right into the hands of the terrorists, who exactly would you bomb? Would you nuke Tehran, Damascus or Karachi, and if so, what about the millions of people living in those places who also abhor terrorism? Sure, you might knock off a few bad guys (which, of course, would happen if you nuked ANY city in the world) but at what cost? Killing innocent civilians is what terrorists do, remember? Justice-bound freedom-lovers such as yourself might not want to go down that road. Or would you nuke the mountaintops and forests in the Afghan-Pakistan frontier? You’d kill a lot of trees and rearrange a few mountaintops, but it’s doubtful you’d make much of a dent in any terrorist infrastructure as decentralized as al-Qaida. I know it’s hard to come to terms with this, but the Cold War is long over, and throwing around knee-jerk “nuke them all” nonsense won’t solve the world’s problems. But, yeah, it sure is a lot easier than actually formulating a real plan to confront those who would do us harm.

Maybe it’s time to take out some of their Holy sites when they commit an act of terror.

They have been saying they are going to kill us. What part of that do we not understand. Maybe Nancy and Baker can go and talk with them, I am sure that will make a differanc. The press has done a good job of blaming Bush, maybe when we are attacked or wiped off the face of the earth like they say maybe then the press will stop blaming the Americans.

Granting these islamo fascist pigs civil liberties will be the downfall of our superior society. It’s time we not only tourture and kill would be suicide bombers without hesitation, it’s time we go after their families and defile everything that is sacred to them.

Richard, who is even suggesting negotiations with al qeada? What a straw man. Wow, how quickly you go to blaming the liberals. Who you at war with, Richard? Terrorists, or America?

Bring back carpet bombing…in WW2 it worked because it killed everyone equally…you wouldn’t have the local scum trying to hide their thug “brothers”.

How many Al Qaeda attacks and deaths is it going to take before the west wakes up and takes the threat of militant islam seriously. We are in a fight for our freedom and way of life.

How do they know it?
Those statesments are very suspicious:
“It is not a matter of if there will be an attack, but how bad the attack will be,”
“It will be a miracle if there isn’t a terror attack over the holidays in London,”
Maybe it means that they are planning a false flag terror attack. There’s no other explanation unless they are clairvoyants.

so we should attack a civilian population with nuclear weapons?!? commit the worst war crime in history? and you think that will STOP the extremist islamic terrorism? I hope others do not share your opinion sir, as the is one of the many ways we could make the situation unimaginably worse.

I agree with Joe. The Bible says that Damascus will become a city of ruins in the last days. When that happens, we’ll know we’re in them without doubt. Wars and Rumors of Wars, Perplexity at the Roaring Waves (Tsunamis),Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Pestilences, etc. have all been happening at an increased pace for the last decade but more in the last few years. These are the Birth pangs mentioned in the Bible.
The AC will rise soon, if he hasn’t already.
Also, watch for the EU’s Javier Solana and the Alliance of Civilizations (AOC) to end religion in the world by implementing Recommendation 666, after the next attack that may cause enough chaos needed for the AC to step up.
Hang on folks, things are just getting interesting.

More ridiculous propoganda to scare the world into thinking we are under attack from terrorists. I wonder what CIA or MI5 operative will be carrying out this “attack”.

Joe, you state “maybe we should drop the bomb and show them that ‘we’ mean business”.
On whom exactly should we ‘drop the bomb’ and who is the ‘we’ to which you are referring?

Drop the bomb? Are you serious?
Yes, brilliant, lets compromise our safety, the safety of innocents and the environment, only to give them more material to work with, more reason to insist upon our supposed “evils”. They are not a country, like Japan was in WW2. Furthermore, in WW2, Japan was already weakened and on the verge of surrender, perhaps, anyway. The terrorists are a multinational collaboration of radicals with no true home country, they’re everywhere. Where then would you propose “dropping the bomb”? We don’t know where they are, and just throwing nuclear radiation at Pakistan randomly would be a very grave mistake indeed.

Thank you Richard and Joe! We need to take the gloves off and fight these animals the way they fight us. It seems Americans have lost their spine. I don’t think Europeans ever had one. But adhering to the international rules of war and torture put us at an immediate disadvantage. I say we make it known, that one more attack will result in the destruction of their Grand Mosque in Mecca. And if all else fails, make the entire region a great big sandbox (won’t be too hard) and name it America 2.

Joe, Richard,
Yeah, because our current military action, our “shock and awe” have been so effective, let’s show more of the same. Let’s kill more. Yeah, that will do the trick.

It is obvious that we can not negotiate with these people, something needs to be done and quickly or we are going to lose this battle. I still do not understand why we can not just bomb the heck out of them and be done with it!

What’s wrong with you people? Dropping an atom bomb on (unspecified target) is going to end terrorism? Upon whom, shall I ask, would you recommend dropping said bomb? The entire Middle East? England? The U.S.? The mindset of a certain segment of people in this country is downright scary. Will you please just go away when Bush leaves office? Sooner perhaps?

Will this be a Christmas present from the “religion of peace”? Wake up Europe!

I am afraid that I must agree with Richard and Joe. We may have no choice but to utilize our Nuclear technology before it is used against us. While many in the west and those on the left are pre-occupied with treating the growing Islamic threat and Muslims in a politically correct manner, many leaders in their culture have made clear that the continued proliferation of Islam and the destruction of Western Powers is the ultimate aim. In my estimation, ISLAM has ceased to be simply a religion but has morphed into a political movement who’s aims are the destruction of civilization as we know it. Al-Qaeda to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have made their aims all too clear. Those who are so singularly pre-occupied with dismantling the authority and legitimacy of President Bush may find that he is the only one to see the face of our enemy in very clear terms.

Yah Joe… just drop it, right in central London. Jackass.

And just who do you bomb.

What a couple of geniuses we have here.
You think these people are afraid of military might?
They’re playing the classic guerrilla game, and you want to respond by killing a whole country.
Boy, there’s no way THAT’ll backfire.

Joe, your drop the bomb plan has one little flaw – in WW2, we were the ones with the bomb. Now they have it as well.

To the Cut and Run Michael Moore fans. Just because people aren’t shooting at each other doesn’t mean there is peace.

Bring back all the soldiers from Iraq. Wait a month. Drop a nuke on Baghdad and Tehran and be done with it.

It’s time we seriously consider removing the threats to homeland security. And by this I mean removing Arab/muslim people from our country who are not citizens. NO MORE STUDENT VISAS. Then we need to shore up our borders. And finally we need to turn one of the main terrorist supporting countries into glass. A couple good sized bombs will melt all that sand into glass. The day after that we call it a warning. Only then will we have their ears.

Do you have a specific location or locations that you propose we nuke, or do you just advocate turning the whole Middle East and central portion of Asia (minus Israel, of course)into a field of black glass?
Using a multi-million dollar warhead to bomb some camp or cave in the middle of nowhere sounds like an excellent and efficient use of our nation’s resources.
In all seriousness,the only way you’re going to make any real dent in an organization like al Qaeda is by infiltrating it and destroying it from the inside. Easier said than done, yes, I realize, but throwing all the technology in the world at the problem sure as hell won’t make it go away.

Why do people always want to treat symptons but not causes???

Kill them?? Bomb them?? And that makes us “good” people different HOW?
I know the good old USA would be in a much better position in this regard if our public officials had backbones when it comes to religion – they’ve mike toasted us down to politically correct whatevers, so where’s the line drawn now?

Richard – drop the bomb on “them”? Who are “they”? Where do “they” live? You condone killing innocent people to get a few bad ones? You sir ar as bad as “they” are.
Don’t you dare bring 9/11 up in this light. Let those people that perished in that attack rest in peace. There have been no attacks on US soil in connection with terrorism. It’s a non issue.
And it’s called a “dirty” bomb, not a dirt bomb.

Anti-Americanism is so strong in the UK that in some weird way they will blame the USA.
The wealth generated by oil in the middle east supplies blood money to muslim families when one of their children blow themselves and others up. Find an alternative to oil and the money will dry up. With that at least some of the motivation should dry up as well.

Maybe it will finally convince Europeans that the “live and let live” approach with radical Muslims among them doesn’t work.

As frustrating as it is that the West fails understand that we are fighting for the survival of everything we hold dear, I do not believe we can nuke them first. However, if the islamic fascists were to use a “dirty” bomb on any western city, I say that we unleash a payload that would of made the U.S.S.R. very afraid.

Nuke who, Joe? The plotters? In London? And kill millions of British? Are you crazy? You don’t even understand who it is you hate. Bombing Pakistan, even, wouldn’t stop these guys from following through on their plot, any more than toppling the Taliban or capturing Saddam Hussein did. These people are not governments, they are a movement. They are a fanatical religious movement, one of two who are playing you for a fool.
Those of us who are not predisposed to believe the mythologies that both Islamic fascists and neoconservatives use to manipulate us will understand that both groups have duped their followers into such shamefully senseless and endless violence.

What do you expect when you open your country’s doors to millions of Muslims and then give them free reign to preach hatred?

I am concerned about the rise of nuclear powers in the mid east. I can only go on the words of the Iranian President that he intends to use the bomb once he gets it. Just a thought… do we wait to receive the gift of nuclear destruction from Iran or one of it’s allies, or is it better to give before we receive such a gift. Personally, I think we should drop as many nukes as necessary to improve the thinking of all that believe we are a paper tiger waiting for a little catnip.

Where, exactly, would you drop said bomb?
Pakistan? The government there is trying to do what they can to track down al quaeda. Afghanistan? The people there have suffered enough, don’t you think?
It’s not like a particular country has declared war on the western world (yes, yes… I know all about Iran… but there are innocent people there too)

Drop the bomb?!? On whom? Terrorism is not a country. It has no geographic basis of power. There are ‘terrorists’ in every country in the world.
A-Bomb the Middle East and all you will get is a surge in radical fundementalism in countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, and Somalia.
What we need is a new type of ‘bomb’. Something revolutionary. Something that can only come from the most genius of scientists. That sort of innovation, like it did in WWII, will end the war. Not the bomb itself.

I agree…..its time. No more games. We need to take out a very large area that is infested with these terrorists…..And then let the Iranian government know we really need business…I was a democrat here in the states…but not anymore….scares me to know people like Nancy P. are in office…..it is time..

If we just talk to these people and let them know we mean them no harm and maybe even give them incentives, like high paying jobs or some type of welfare system, then they won’t hate us and want to kill us. Then they will want to peacefully co-exist with the rest of the world.
NOT!!!!!!…they all need to be taken out NOW..before they kill more of us. Anyone that says other wise is an ignorant fool with thier head buried DEEP in the sand.

The only thing terroist understand is someone more savage than they are. If they attack with suicide then attack their whole family.
Terror is not pretty. The goal is to control the mass of the people thru fear. To control they preform savage acts against the few unlucky ones, in order to make most fear doing anything. We can not KISS them we must KILL THEM!

Terrorists represent what percentage of the country? Dropping an atomic bomb on innocent people is a path we should not tread down again.
Also, bombing one country is a short-sighted dangerous solution. You are using an assumption that terrorist can be wiped out in one blow. Who are you going to drop the bomb on? Unless you eliminate every single major instance in every country where they are a semi preminent position, it will just make matters worse and worse and worse and worse.

It’s one thing to drop “the bomb” upon the military posts of a nation; it’s another to try and track down dozens of small pockets of terrorist cells and individually bomb each one without incurring massive numbers of collateral casualties. Nuclear weapons are not really an option in this instance. But I agree, it’s time that BOTH ends of the political spectrum to recognize that this is a war and that yes, it would be much more preferable for us to win.

Yes, once they are nuked, they will commit no more attrocities. Drop a big fat nuclear bomb on this so-called “al Qaeda of England”. It is a shame that some innocent people will be killed, but the threat of terrorism is very serious, and serious situations call for serious actions. Now, who can I call to get this ball rolling?

Charlie,
If people like you were in charge of our national security, there would have been another terrorist attack on our soil. You say terrorism is a non-issue, because we haven’t been attacked? What kind of non-sense is that? Tell that to our allies the Brits, or the Spaniards, tell that to our allies in Indonesia. Having our friends killed is just as bad as having our own killed in my opinion. Where’s your compasion for those killed in other countries? This doesn’t even mention all the inncocent Iraqis killed by terrorists. (Obviously that’s another topic to discuss)

I concur: nuke em all!!

How do you bomb a strategy?

Send them all to Gitmo and throw away the key. “Ken” can go visit them

Europe has embraced the culture of death (abortion, euthanasia, anti-family practies. The “religion of peace” is moving in and trying to take hold. Will they succeed?

To answer all who are saying Who? Them all??
I say give isreal most of Nevada and then turn the middle east into a sheet of glass. Is that clear enough?

Comment to an earlier post. “Richard – drop the bomb on “them”? Who are “they”? Where do “they” live? You condone killing innocent people to get a few bad ones? You sir ar as bad as “they” are. ”
It is the terrorist that hide among the innocent and fight behind the skirts of their women and place children in front as human shields. Strap bombs to women and children just to kill more innocent women and children. Just like them you say, get real and pull your head out.

Drop a bomb on the middle east? You mean London right?? RTFA:
“The officials say the plots are all connected and track back to al Qaeda commanders in Pakistan who have been recruiting and training ****British citizens**** of Pakistan descent.”

“goodog” pulls the usual leftist rhetorical trick of using moral relativism to blend 2 entirely different philosophies. “neocons” want to democratize and upset the order that spawns terrorism. Islamists want to kill, terrorize and upset the order that spawns freedom and tolerance. yeah, i guess there’s no difference.

It’s time to turn the middle east into the world’s largest glass-lined crater theme park.

Unfortunately, too many people are afraid to call evil for what it is. We try to see their point of view and then blame ourselves for creating their perceptions of us. Sometimes people are evil, and Osama is an evil tyrant who is bent on destroying the world as we know it so he can create an Islamic world with Shia law ruling. The Iranian president is also one who wants to see the world as it is now destroyed. He claims that the British, Americans, and “Zionists” will go the way of the Pharaohs… Sounds like he wants us to be destroyed as well. Will we try to talk him out of that mindset with negotiations, sanctions and diplomacy? Maybe if we raise the world-wide minimum wage or give abortion on demand, or allow gay marriage to everyone in the world he’ll decide we’re not such a bad country after all.

God help us all
It’s a matter of time before they (terrorists) strike again. 10′s of thousands will die the next time. Then what??

Yes, a lot of good bombing and shooting has done for us in stopping terror these past 5 years. If anything we’ve succeeded in taking all the good will shown toward America following the 9/11 attacks and completely stood it on its head. Maybe there’s a reason for that? And maybe our “leader” will get it through his head that diplomacy isn’t a bad word.

I live in the US, yet I can engage in a conversation on the short comings of the US without resorting to pathetic names like unpatriotic. Why don’t you people wake up and stop to realize there is no war? Watch the movie wag the dog. It’s all about how to start a fake war.
Not to say it was initiated per se, but do you people think so long as the mission is “eliminate terrorism” that it’s ever going to end? Read the damn bible many of you cling so close to. People have been terrorizing each other since the dawn of man. It’s human nature and in spite of all the history, terrorism is still around.
it’s going to be here 2000 years from now so long as people are. Do you honestly believe we should send innocent young men and women into a war that will never be won? It’s BS and it’s time the rest of America turned off their TV’s and game a damn about this country.
The entire constitution is being hollowed ou at the height of this EMPIRE. Guess what? The founding fathers specifically did not want us to become an Empire like GB became. HELLO! What the hell do you think we’ve turned into? A giant bully who kicks people around the world all in the name of our interests! Bush said out way of life is non negotiable. Really? Tell me how non negotiable it is when our precious gas is five times the price today. Most of America is clueless and asleep at the wheel. I woke up in college and I’m so glad I quit drinking the kool aid our government serves.
I just wish most of you would realize we are under a one party system run by rich corporations. We can’t even talk to our congressmen that we elect, since the lobbyists have paid for their time. How do we compete against that? Campaign finance reform? Pelosi’s answer is to structure the reform in such a way that only K street will be allowed to lobby and not small grass roots organizations. Way to go America, the more things change the more they stay the same.

“Ronald Reagan would NOT have put up this BS, damn shame he’s gone =/”
Really? Didn’t he pull our military out of Lebanon after that devastating barracks blast that killed 241 Americans marines and soldiers?

The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing in intelligence agencies – the so-called terrorists usually have handlers who work for intelligence agencies of the nations experiencing the attacks. This is called an inside job or false-flag attack. It’s all to shepherd the public into a New World Order using fear – and lots of well-connected financiers and corporations are making money off of war.

” Ronald Reagan would NOT have put up this BS, damn shame he’s gone ”
Oh really- I think I remember Reagan cutting and running after the Beruit embassy bombing.

I have a better idea….. Why not choose to love, even to forgive, our enemies, rather than wanting to kill them in the name of “such a reverent God” Pour water on the “fires of hate’ rather than kerosine that will do nothing but bring us closer to WWIII.

Caution: This is a Brian Ross report and may suffer from his proclivity to “truthiness”. Best to get confirmation from a reliable source before forming accepting as fact.

Larry, our government won’t even stand up for the religious beliefs this country was founded on – of course they would not “impose” religious beliefs on the terrorists – and as for us ending what they started – na, nana, boo boo – quite the mature fellow.

Pete,
That is one of the most callous thing I have ever heard in my life. In my cousin’s kindergarten class, every single child lost a parent. And don’t tell me I’d hear worse from the terrorists. You sound just like them. And it ‘could have worked in New York,’ you say. New York is one of the most liberal cities in the country, so I guess we all deserved to die, huh? Or do we just deserve to die because we won’t go along with your oh-so-manly nutjob plan to nuke somewhere, anywhere even though it won’t do a thing???

Wow. I actually live in London, and I can certify 100% that no one is bracing for an attack at all. This is pure hyperbole, and it’s funny that it’s being reported breathlessly in the US, but not here.
It’s not like the government, the police or the Home Office are publicly suggesting that anything is in the offing; and most people here are busy with fog, travel plans, xmas parties and doing their shopping before everything shuts down.
BTW, Kathleen, people in the UK are not anti-American – we just can’t stand the Bush administration. Bill Clinton? Still a rock star here.

There is such a thing as being too tolerant. We give out citizenship to anyone who can marry the right person or show up on our doorsteps with $50,000. IN the US we even give citizen to anyone who can illegally enter the country and aviod getting caught for a few years.
We’re seeing more and more that foreign powers are using our lax citizenship process to get their loyalists into our countries to either directly attack us, or to pressure our government to adopt their cultural values (such as Vatican City using hispanics to attack the seperation of church and state in the US).
Also we’rwe too tolerant of political movements that hide behind the claims of being a religion. Islam is a political/social system just like Soviet Communism or National Socialism. Its just dresses up like a religion. It regulates capital markets like communism. It has a cultural supremist ideology like National Socialism (“blame the jews” and everyone but is “decadent”).
Religion is how individuals deal with the concept of a higher spiritual questions and PERSONAL morality.
Political/social movements attempt to regulate how individuals act and behave in a culture or nation.
Islam is NOT a religion. It is a political/social contract. It regulates health and dietary codes, business and finance, public dress and morality. Inheritance, property transfer, and it sanctions violence in the interest of the State/Society.
These are all duties of a GOVERNMENT or POLITICAL SYSTEM.
(Just so you can’t claim I’m baised. The Catholic Church is also political system that claims to be a religion. The Pope is a head of state, has a seat on the UN, the catholic church has a central bank, prints currency, and operates a spy agency that both spies on and meddles in the affairs of other nation states).

“God help us all” Sadly that shows in stark relief what the root of the entire problem is. Their ‘god’, our ‘god’, their religion vs our religion. When are the educated peoples of the world going to wake up and take control? When are we as a specie going to realize that religion has been the bane of our existence? At this point I dearly wish some aliens would attack and meld mankind into one concerted force. Reminds me of a quote I heard back many years ago, “Get me off this rock”

I like it, they have created their own “christmas miracle” of no terrorist attacks out of thin air, and it seems to be working.
The racists and hate mongers are drooling over the very suggestion and plotting their horrid revenge in advance.
Way to sell a war of empirialism.

One big bomb is too simple of an answer for a complicated problem. Who do we bomb anyways? The Middle East? And kill millions of innocent people
They are not innocent FYI. They all harbor hate towards the US

The where and the who are as follows. Stria, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq. So innocent people die it happens every day. One big plain of glass is what the Mid-East should be.

Tony Blair should go on television and inform the world that the UK will detonate one nuclear weapon in each foreign national’s country for each person found guilty of attacking the UK. These people clearly need motivation to police their own communities. If self-preservation won’t do it, what will?

My 2 cents. It should be stated often and forcefully that if there is a nuclear, chemical or biological attack against the US or Great Britain or allies no time will be taken to figure out who is responsible, an impossible task anyway. Instead, retaliation will be immediate against Mecca, Tehran, and North Korea. Maybe that threat will force these nut balls get a lid on their own.

The only solution I can think of is to send in Jack Bauer from CTU! He will just need a hacksaw and a nuke!

I cant believe the country that faught so hard in wwII has turned into a bunch of cowards who won’t fight for there own survival.

Andy,
Americans are not cowards and our miltary is the best in the history of the world the only problem is that the politicians in America and the liberal news media are just in the way!

The bomb you drop today is the radiation YOU breathe tomorrow. And again. And again. Radiation isn’t magic. It doesn’t go away. There are a few Russian former KGB who can now attest to that.

To all the half-wit “armchair generals” out there; FIND a legitimate target and/or the bad guys out there and I’m pretty sure darn near every American will be behind blowing it/them to smithereens. In the meantime, if you want to do something useful, stop whining about “liberals”, sell your SUV and stop sending gas money to the terrorist states that support the enemies of America.

Oh please, don’t compare this to WWII. In WWII, they may have been fantatics, but you knew who you were fighting. They wore uniforms and logos and fought for their leaders. In this battle your enemy could be right next to you. And dropping bombs over the last 50 years is what has created the hatred for us as it is. There’s nothing we can do other than try to prevent their attacks. Using a tactical nuke would only set a precedent for other countries to use them and eventually lead to the end of the world. Damn neo-cons. Always think pressing “the button” is the answer.

i wish there were a easy solution.dropping the bomb sounds great.but where?or just take out the whole middleast and be done with them!but lets take thier oil first!

Unfortunately, the time for talking is way past. The only thing terrorists understand is might and strength. They think the US doesn’t have the will or guts to fight them nor to “drop the bomb” on them. In the present politically correct arena they may be right. I am sure there are known targets that, if bombed, would effectively send the message that the US has had enough and we are no longer willing to dance to their tune. Do we have the guts? I think Bush does but with the left giving away our intelligence to the media for release, our enemies probably are one step ahead of us. To those that feel we can sit down and dialogue with these people, just how do you talk to someone that is willing to either kill themselves or their children in order to kill you?

Okay, here’s a modest proposal. Drop “bunker buster” type deep-digging weapons equipped with a nuclear warhead into one of the many open fields in Mecca and Medina. Equip these devices with ultra-low-frequency communications for command, as our Minutemen and Titan II’s used to use. Offer the Saudi government a team of all-Muslim Navy Seabees to “safe” the sites, burying them in reinforced concrete. Let it be known that after a certain deadline, any terrorist acts verified to be associated with Islamic extremism will result in these “holy” sites being highly visible from satellite, but unavailable during the haj for oh, the next several hundred years. Let them decide what to do about it from there.

As a native anglo saxon who happens to live in the country that this article says will almost certainly be hit over Christmas by islamic terorists, I should just point out that we are not all PC and we do not all hate Americans.
For my own part and that of my family and friends the opposite is the case.
I like most of you am an infidel and the Koran says that we should either be made to convert or be wiped out.
While it is true that there is anti-US sentiment here this is mainly because of the way that the Iraq war has been prosecuted, not because of the war per se. The US led invasion showed military genius but without much afterthought. I sometimes wonder if Iraq would be such a mess if we had left Sadam in power but that’s another story. As far as I am concerned, the objective now is to kill terrorists and prevent them from gaining a foothold, building training camps etc.
It is striking to note the many similarities between our two countries re the topic under discussion.
Both countries seem to have a large proportion of liberals who think that the human rights of a terrorist or an illegal immigrant are more important than that of any victim or law abiding citizen. Our border controls are in disarray and open to infiltration by terrorists. We bend over backwards to make allowances for religions other than our own native religion.
Many companies here are afraid of calling Christmas Christmas in case it offends some moslem somewhere. THeir websites proudly proclaim “Seasons Greetings”; not Merry Christmas. Some of our schools have cancelled nativity plays in favour of non-religious activities. The list of this politically correct BS is endless.
Some children have even been made to eat Halal meat.
The US wants to allow politicians to swear an oath of office on the Koran instead of the Bible.
If we don’t halt this seemingly endless appeasement and loss of national identity, then Islam will win by default.
They won’t need to carry out atrocities; we will destroy our own cultures.

How long is it going to take before people realize that, regardless of what we do, we’re going to be a target? If we “drop the bomb” as so many of you have decided is the answer, do you think that that won’t cause even more hatred towards our country and the West in general? Since we’ve gone to war and dropped bombs, anti-american, anti-Western sentiment has drastically increased all over the world.
This President and previous Presidents (Democrat and Republican alike) have completely botched their responses to the threat of terrorism, either home grown or overseas. No one has the answers to a problem that doesn’t have a clear solution; we can’t fight an enemy we don’t fully understand.
It’s time that we all took a step back and realized that, for better or worse, we’re going to be targeted based on any action we choose to make. It’s time Americans stopped griping about “muslims” and “terrorists” and just began to live with the fact that there’s nothing definitive that we can do to control the threat. I live in major American city and know that the actions of one lone individual with a bomb, American or foreign, could mean the difference between me getting to work safley in the morning or not.
Americans need to grow up, stop bickering, and begin to act like adults towards one another. The “terrorists” have certainly succeeded in tearing our nation apart; there’s more hatred here now than ever before.

“Ronald Reagan would NOT have put up this BS, damn shame he’s gone”
I love the ignorance of so many of the American Public. FYI:
#1) OBL used Reagan’s failure to respond to the Lebanon bombing (and turning tail and leaving) as his primary reason for believing in 9/11 type tactics.
#2)There were more terrorists attacks against Americans in the 80′s than in any subsequent decade.
Reagan didn’t respond. Instead, he rewarded Arab Muslims by selling Arms to Iran. Followed by Rumsfeld selling arms to Iraq.
- Yep, I sure long for the good old days…

You people and your opinions. Opinions are like armpits, We all have them and they all stink. I am so sick of Political correctness I could puke. Look our great leaders are so stuck in their power base that they have lost their testicals for anything that may insult someone,Well thats tough. It’s going to be bad folks when it comes. Lets hope the stupid leaders haven’t taken away our ability to fight.

Wow! A lot of strong opinions.
It all boils down to this: We are in a fight with an enemy who is better at adapting than we are. They are fighting what is known as 4th generational warfare while we combat it with 3rd and 2nd generational warfare. This is an enemy that has no country, no nationality, and no fear. While I don’t agree with the strategy of turning the middle east into a parking lot, there is some truth to the notion of responding to their actions with swift, brutal force that does not worry about the collateral damage. We will never be able to deter these people with force, but we may be able to convince the innocents to hand them over if they become more afraid of what we’ll do in response to an attack.
In warfare, there is a concept known as a Boyd’s loop. (or OODA loop) It basically says that whoever can assimilate information relative to the fight the quickest, analyze it, and react to it will win the conflict. The terrorists are light years ahead of us in this respect, and our military knows it. That is why they have publicly condemmed their leadership. We need to give them the tools and freedom necessary to get inside the enemies loop. Only then will we see any progress made.
Finally, the current generation of terrorists can not be reasoned with…they are too far gone. However, while we are eliminating that threat, we also need to be looking at the next generation of religious fundamentalists in every country and educating them about our cherished values and beliefs. Education is the only way to free a mind condemmed by ignorance and hate.

Exactly my point, Rich. The only difference is we pre-plant the nukes as a reminder that we can at any time destroy these sites. I believe the Saudis have enough self-interest to reason with the radicals they are currently funding. I am tired of hearing that the terrorists have no state, that there is target of strategic value. Mecca and Medina are the potential targets, radical Islam is the state. When Washington and New York were attacked, no one in government was harmed, but there was definitely an effect. You don’t have to attack them directly if you can sufficiently threaten their symbols.

monty is a genius; where exactly can I find the evidence for the assertion that symbols will have a huge effect? i don’t care about our symbols; only our people

NUTS

To those who suggest bombing ‘them’ before they attack us. Let’s unpack your logic for a moment, looking at the enemy we *actually* have instead of the faceless horde from action movies that you imagine we have.
If we take a non-trivial number of Muslims at their word when they say they believe that it is pleasing to Allah when one person is martyred by blowing themselves up on a bus, how much more happy can we imagine them believing Allah to be if, say, the nation of Iran or Pakistan should suddenly disappear in a thermonuclear fireball? The logic of this is straight-forward, if retail suicide-martyrdom makes Allah happy, then wholesale suicide-martyrdom would make Allah do the celestial version of the Snoopy Happy Dance. Joe et. al. this is *not* Soviet Russia we are talking about. Nuking Iran, or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia isn’t going to deter anyone from doing anything. In fact, it would invite revenge attacks so unless you are willing to wipe out one-sixth of the population of the planet your prescription is nothing more than just so much yahoo jingoism.
Cheers
A

We should locate as many terrorist organizations as possible and include every individual as well even if just a suspect . Then we simply nuke them until they glow and then shoot them in the dark !!!

A couple of points…
First, the releasing of this story has an up side and a down side. The upside is that the average citizen in the UK will be at least minimally prepared for an attack. The downside is that those who plan on doing the attacking now know for sure people are on to them, and can dig a hole and either wait a little longer, or hide better till the scheduled attack…
For those who say you must be clairvoyant to say “there will be an attack”, I put forth the following hypothetical: If I were to tell you I was going to blow up a bus in Chicago Illinois, you’d know it was coming, and have two ways of stopping me. Stop me in the act – in which case I could blow up on teh spot killing anyone near me – or you could catch me before hand. I assure you, finding one person in a mob isn’t as easy as you think. It takes days and weeks to find someone during a city/state/nation wide manhunt. This would be the same thing.
Lastly, while I’m not sure nuking is the answer, we most certainly need to drop a large number of the nice-guy things we do. Those at GitMo eat well, have good conditions, and are more or less left alone. People they capture have their heads hacked off, with the video placed on the internet for the world to see. Do you see a slight difference in the level of care given? While Islam is wonderful faith (it’s SUPPOSED to be a lovely, calm, peaceful religion), those who take a violent, millitant tack on it only understand one thing. They want us dead because not only do we not believe what they believe, we don’t do it in the way they wish it done. The Sunni-Shia(sp) issues could be paralelled (at least partial) to Baptists and Methodists. You don’t see people from First Baptist blowing the hell out of a Methodist bake-sale, and if you did they hammer of public outrage would fall upon them so fast your head would swim. The terrorists want to kill us. That is all they want. They want me, you, Cindy Sheehan, Bill Clinton, George Bush, EVERYONE in America to die. They understand only brutality, and so we should show them brutality. Find those who lead the insurgents, and kill them. Don’t arrest, kill. And then kill their mother, father, wife, children, and their neighbors. Soon people will understand that to harbor such people is unhealthy. They wish violence, so we must visit violence upon them. More Iraqis are killed by the insurgists than insurgists are killed by the US military. We need to force home the point that terrorism is not a wise idea. I’d be all for talking to them, and settling this without violence, but they don’t want that. They want death.
Oh, and as to why we should care about attacks in the UK…
The UK is our friend. Violence visited upon them and their citizens is violence visited upon me. If the UK wants another body to hunt for these bastards, I’ll have my bag packed and waiting for the call.
God bless America, and God save the Queen…

I think people need to realize that the Crusades never actually ended…we’ve all been enjoying a nice little intermission. Well, it’s time to finish the game. Which side are YOU on, people?
dw

When the **** really hits the fan, the East and West coast liberal idiots will be knocking on the doors of the middle class all across the heartland. why? well, we own guns, have generators, know how to hunt, fish, and survive. Sen. Kerry can come stay at my house…if he’s not too busy converting to Islam.

they seem to know so much about this plot that is hard to beleive they not involve in it.

The Muslims are taking Europe from the inside out. The #1 name now in Britain is Muhammed. It’s only a matter of time and the British are allowing it to happen. I don’t know why they are so surprised that allowing radical muslim cleric to speak hate against the British and west wouldn’t have negative effects. You reap what you sow…and allow.

We’ve dropped the ball and totally lost our nerve. From here on out, every single terrorist attack that happens to the west, we deserve.
We could’ve ended this the day after 9/11 but we didn’t have the guts. We have no right to cry foul when we are hit again, because we really didn’t learn anything.
Inevitably whether 10 days from now or 100 years, it will be an entire western city and I’ll find it very hard to shed a tear for us. We reap what we sow.

Most everyone is in a state of denial concerning the reality of what we are facing. THIS IS A RELIGIOUS WAR a war of DOMINATION. This is, and will become even more, a war of pure SURVIVAL. It will be brutal, horrific, and eclipse every war this world has ever known. This is NOT the time for PC and “they will not like us” mnd sets. THIS IS ABOUT SURVIVAL…One cannot be PC with cancer, for it does not listen nor care about your feelings, your religious freedoms, your political or economic status, IT WILL KILL YOU. Western society has become so spoiled and soft, it cannot recognize the death trap it is headed for. Either we change and accept a few hundred thousand or million deaths now, or we will see hundreds of millions or billion later in a horrendous blood bath most cannot imagine.

The difference between the Soviets of yesterday and the Iran Mullahs of today, is, the Mullahs do not sare our love of life. For the Iranian Mullahs (who are the sponsors of all of world terriorism, the prize is in the anticipated life after death, where the rewards of martyrdom are promised to be sublime. The legacy mullahs have left the world is there invention of the suicide bomber. The Iranian terrorist mullahs preach the glorification of self destruction as a pinnacle experience fo the short lives of those they indoctinate to do their lethal bidding. Killing one’s self so as to kill the enemy in the process is the distinguishing thought the mullah’s propagate.
The Soviets fought bravely in many wars, yet there was no streak of suicidal heroism fundamental to Soviet Communism. The Soviets wanted to beat the United States, yet they wanted to live to enjoy the victory.
If the Iranisn mullahs had a world annihilation button they could press to end the world, the probability is that they would press the button. How can people who think like this be deterred by appeasement of for that matter the fear ofd mutual assured destruction, which stopped both the United States and the USSR from launching a first strike against the other?
The mullahs might simply launch a nuclear weapon because of the chos that weould result…even if it meant their subsequent self descruction.

Instead of Killing or bombing, how about PROFILING.How many people have to die before we do anything at all?

I think the world of our late President who said tear down that Wall–but that opened the door to what we face today. Money is the root of all evil–we all need to pay attention to the money. There is no greater power than to make a nations money.
It has killed two very American Presidents in front of our eyes.
Thomas Jefferson was adamantly opposed to the idea of a privately owned federal bank and said ” I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies”.
The first two Federal Reserve Systems lasted about 20 years each and we are now almost a hundred years into the third one.
We didn’t have nor did we need an income tax until we got the bankers back. The income tax was only needed to pay interest to the bankers for our money that they loan to our government. Yes, you read that right, the Fed, mostly on paper and computer, creates money or pays the treasury a small printing fee for currency, and then loans this money to our government. Our taxes pay them interest on this loan that cost the FEDS virtually nothing to make, what a sweetheart of a deal they have going for them.
We the people need to wake up.

It will be very interesting to observe the British peoples response once bombings (attacks) are regular occurrences. Will they choose to dialog with their attackers and their supporters OR will they choice to continue the present battle and even escalate it. When the enemy is “within the camp” then extraordinary measures are required to eliminate them and as you would expect there will be innocent deaths on both sides.
!!!! FREEDOM IS NOT FREE !!!!

Much like the europe of the 1930′s the world is once again in a state of denial about the gathering storm that approaches in the night.
How many lives will it cost us this time?
Only time will tell…
Western civilization has grown weak on the spoiled fruit of self indulgence…
Much like the roman empire we are rotting from within, so welf involved with petty squabbling that we to fail to see the barbarians outside the gates.
Any civilization that will not defend itself deserves to fall; even ours.

If a terrorist major WMD attack occurs within the UK or USA, I’d not be surprised to see mass internment of Muslims within those countries under martial law. I’d also expect to see a movement to merge Canada, USA, and Mexico into a North American Union with Amero money as the elite have been planning such for a disaster. And that wouldn’t stop the western war on terror. Where would the west drop a retaliatory nuke strike? Well, how about for starters fundamentalist terror targets within those countries where they have deliberately been funding, housing, training, and equipping the terrorists? Gee, that might cause civilian casualties? Yup. And that is why the other countries’ moderate civilians better convince these radicals that they have something to loose. It is called Mutually Assured Destruction for a reason. And by the way, the difference between a terrorist and a radical fundamentalist “innocent civilian” is that when they die, their friends make sure they are missing their weapon for the purposes of western media manipulation.

Remember we are dealing with one government with two faces. Face one wants us to be in a state of constant fear in order to introduce anti-terror laws that are for “our protection”. Face two tries to convince us that we aren’t capable or able to deal with such complicated issues. The bottom line, bigger government with less emphasis on our founding documents.

The use of a nuclear weapon to kill even a small number of innocents is a terrorist act. This war will be won by winning the hearts and minds of those who might otherwise become terrorists or wish to do us harm. Casually throwing around nuclear threats demonstrates the same ignorance about the very real terrorist threat that the West has to overcome if we are to minimize the number and impact of future attacks. I pray that there is no attack.

Good point
We are a nation of laws for the common man as well as the elite.
When we do not force our laws on the elite is where we go wrong.
FEAR has a devistating effect on a free people. We should consider our options before we react.
Iraq is a war because we let it be a war. Now that we are faced with that we are commited. We need to see it through till Victory is won. But it is dumb to be fooled twice. We should bond to see this through then impeach the nuts that put us here.

Islam is no more a religion of violence today than Christianity was a religion of violence during the Great War, World War 2 and the ensuing Cold War.
Were the English and N.Irish radical Muslims?

It’s very simple what we should do in the US. We need to reform into a kind of “in your face, but to your back” government. We need to wire up the nation and spy on all, but maintain that we only spy in secret, if you have nothing to hide, then why should it matter to you? If you say “c’mon men, blow up the capitol” then you have to go byby. We need to send spies into mosques to see if religious leaders are inciting religious uphevals against the government. We need to make it a law that officals set objectives, and do at least one of them by years end to rid us of corruption. Apeasing never works, in the words of General Patton: “Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move…. To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide”.
Just apply the quote to our government.

Let’s put the “understanding” them philosophy crap to bed. There is only one thing you need to understand about what they think: convert to Islam, or die. Trying to placate them will never work. The only options are profiling and removing them from your borders, and bombing (with conventional weapons), the infrastructure of any country that supports them. Any country can be made impotent by destroying key infrastructure sites, and even the terrorists in those countries rely on that infrastructure to some degree to be effective.

You should all read “America Alone” by Mark Steyn, maybe it will clear some thing up for you confused liberals.

American males…stand up and be counted as men again! You country needs you!

Britain has turned into a police state. London is the city in the world with the largest amount of surveillance cameras. They are restricting free speech, introducing mandatory fingerprinting and issuing ID-cards. The government wants to track vehicles with GPS and Tony Blair even tried to pass a law that would abolish Parliament. In the US, demonstrations now equal terrorism. The Victory Act made sure of that. Free Speech Zones, rendition, torture of american citizens, sentence without trial…
Can’t you people see what is happening? I am seriously the only person seeing what the West is turning into?

how about cuddling and loving these terrorists? Is it because I said something different that I can’t post?

Very coincidental… last night I’ve seen the movie ‘Dirty War’. It’s about a strike on London with a dirty bomb. Man, it scares the hell out of me. I didn’t sleep. I pray it will never happen for sake of mankind, no matter what religion. We are busy exterminating each other.

Terrorism crosses borders as easily as the wind. The only way to stop it is to get those in the Muslim world to assist us. Since they appear to be rather “soft” on the issue we need to heighten their attention. Informed them, and the world, loudly and clearly. If we are hit with a chemical, biological or nuclear weapon the city of Mecca will simply cease to exist. Period.
If they want to keep their “holy” city as a place to pray and not a glow in the night then they need to help us root out this scum that pollutes their religion.

The terrorist are here and here to stay until we all realize their threat. Day to day I bet most Americans, English, and many other citizens of their countries do not think of what will happen today, will a plane drop from the sky or a suicide bomber come into my office space. Those here to protect us the Royal Armed Forces and the United States Armed Forces and their respective Governments are constantly thinking of this each day they wake and go to the “office” whichever it may be. Dropping bombs or standing up to them or ignoring them is not the answer. We all involved must be strategic and calculating when fighting this war. WWII and the IRA in their days whether countries fighting one another of individuals it was still leaders of their thoughts that hated us and wanted to get rid of all of us. So we may not drop the bomb or have guys and gals shipped off constantly to foreign lands, what we need to do as a World looking and praying for Peace is to support our Governments and those in Harms Way that have choosen to protect our Freedoms throughout the world. What drives me nuts is that many people have the so called “answer” and spew it out on these websites or the news but are any of them running for office or enlisting or helping those who are trying to solve the problem? I expect the Governments to do the job we have asked them to and I will trust them for I had the freedom. And if I do not agree than I need to keep my mouth shut or run for office.

I say drop lobster bisque on the entire middle east.

The 9/11 attacks and the London 7/7 bombings were both inside jobs, perpetrated by US and British governments and intelligence agencies to promote their bogus “War on Terror,” which is nothing more than a naked grab for oil.

Tell all Islamic countries if they allow Al Qaida to continue to operate and Al Qaida succeeds detonating a weapon of mass destruction on a city, then we will drop the bomb on the most holiest site of the Islamic World….MECCA

To those who say US policy causes terrorism- What did Clinton do to “cause” Kenya, Tanzania, USS Cole, World Trade Center 1993? Weakness invites terrorism. Study a little history before you make an ass of yourself.

This *is* about oil, don’t kid yourself. This is the last great resource war; it’s global and it’s a war no one will win. We’ve brought it on ourselves with our gluttony and short-sightedness. The world will be a very different place in the not-so-distant future.

What is all this nonsense about using nuclear weapons?
I’m all for justice and revenge as well as use of the military where necessary. But a nuke? What, do you drop enough to level a country the size of Iraq or Syria? Then, do you seriously think no one else will feel the effects of nuclear fall-out and all else that would follow?
There are some dangerous thinking people right here, much less 3,000 or 10,000 miles way.

These terrorists want us to stop any attacks, air raids on their holiday of Ramadan. Then they are threatening us on our holiday of Christmas. When is the world going to understand these people are not going to be tolerant…not the extremists.

Well you just brought a bunch of liberal idiots into Washington who think this War on Terror is not our problem. How soon we forget 9-11-2001! Gee, maybe you folks who voted for these non-military supporters were drunk this past November.

Alex, do you mean those liberal idiots that are replacing the conservative idiots that could not start fast enough with attacking Iraq instead of going after the 911 culprit which is in Pakistan/Afghanistan and where the NATO (you know , the organization that mr Bush thought was absolete) is now trying to finish what you started ?

If terrorists realy gonna attack, why were the borders of USA wide open on Sep 12 and still are today? Why are there terror training drills of same location and time as these attacks?
If you have any brains you would realize that the war on terrorrism cannot physically be won. How would we win it? Will there be a day when an American soldier will have officially killed the last ‘terrorist’? Ofcourse not. The war is desgined to last for a long time, and im not saying that, the Penatagon memos have said that long before the war even started.

Boy, I’m glad I’m not a paranoid conspiracy laden liberal.

Hmmm… so is this our Christmas miracle? No attack… spend all your money to celebrate!!

I believe the government warnings as much as I believe Pat Robertson can predict terror attacks. Lame.

This was an example of irresponsible journalism. It hurts the already faltering credibility of news agencies.

My heart goes out towards the victims of the Christmas 2006 bombings..
Oh wait, it turns out it was just another load of Reids scaremongering crap.
