MEMRI: Muslims Debate Using Nukes on US
2007-04-16
Posted by:Flith Elmomock5980

#11  Zen...I think they may know us better than we know ourseleves. To wit: Everyone knows that our open borders with Mexico is not good. Everyone agrees that something needs to be done. Yet here we sit.
I believe that the islamists think we will do nothing if they light one off. That we are too weak (in will and determination). I am inclined to beleive they are correct. W, the cowboy and "neo-con warmonger" couldn't even set up the ROE's in Iraq that would bring victory. So, feingoldpelosikucinichdeanreidclintokennedy will?
I think not.

In fact, I beleive there is a whole AndrewSullivan-Kos group in this country who would blame the US if the islamists light one off. That's how far the mighty have fallen. That's how far off the US moral compass is.

#10  Muslims need to understand that the United States isn't run by one or to people, like imams. The United States governs based upon consensus. The consensus following a nuke attack from any muslim, regardless of being a national figure or not, would be to glass the Middle East. Even kuchinicknut would have to accept the "will of the people" on that one.

#9  These stupid fucks just don't seem to understand the scope of magnitude involved. The Islamic world has how many nuclear devices, one dozen? And that's on a good day. America has thousands of them. These Islamic nutjobs seem to think that lighting off a single one of these on our soil will bring America to its knees when, in reality, it will cause the entire MME (Muslim Middle East) to become a radioactive wasteland. How the fuck these morons manage to fool themselves with such delusions of adequacy is simply beyond me.

#8  Using WMDs May Provoke U.S. WMD Counterattack

It really depends on who's calling the shots at the time. If it's feingoldpelosikucinichdeanreidclintokennedy, we will probably apologize.

#6  That the thing about nukes, they are like that ham sandwich.

You know, "If I had some ham, I would make myself a ham sandwich. If I had some bread."

#5  Gene Roddenberry would never had said that. He was too much the internationalist. After all, he added Chekov to the Enterprise after S1 because of a comment in Pravda wondering why no Russians, the pioneers of spaceflight, were on the crew.

#3  Reminds me of a conversation between Gene Rodenberry and a Saudi reporter:

Saudi reporter: Mr. Rodenberry, many people in my country are impressed with the mixed racial and national characteristcs of the starship crews in the various Star Trek series, but want to know why there are no Arab crewmembers.

Gene Rodenberry: That's easy, because it takes place in the future.
