#2 What do you want, not-mike, an invasion? In that case, we would have to fabricate a wmd charge and the BBC and Al Reuters would focus on the mangled children, (oh, the children, the children!), appeaser-'tards would riot from coast to coast, James Zogby would go ape-shit over the undoubted desecration of Mecca (even though he is a christian, fat-Z didn't give a flying fuck over the desecration of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre by Arafatists and ISM tools), pious Euro-dupe peace activists would light candles and demand the destruction of violent America and the eradication of its illegitimate cowboy population.

Oh, and you would bitch a lot as well.

For what?

Any evidence of mass graves there? They should already have been found, SA has fewer travel restrictions than the now defunct (no thanks to you) Saddamistan.
Have they invaded and conquered any neighbors lately? Gassed any dissident tribes?

They are bad guys, but the proposed cure, withdrawal of American support, will bring the fanatics to unbridled power and Saddam will look like a choirboy by comparison.

Of course, some in the west, especially terror-appeasers and totalitarians, wouldn't consider that a bad thing.

#3 Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the Soddy royal family crucified at 50 yard intervals along the Mecca-Medina highway and Mecca itself plowed under and sown with salt. Hey, it worked for the Romans.

Unfortunately, such measures are categorically impossible these days (lefty-promoted cultural sensitivity and all), and continued mitigation and engagement is the best short term strategy.

#4 Another thought, NMM and others. Perhaps the Soddies should start feeding them into plastic shredders. That doesn't seem to bother lefties so much.

#7 300 lashes? 50 lashes can be enough to kill someone, but 300!? This teacher is going to die.

#8 Charles -- they give the lashes in sets, wait for a bit of recovery, and then give more. So he probably won't die.

Why is it that "moderate Muslims" turn out in droves to protests such horrors as the banning of head-scarves in France, yet remain absolutely mum on issues such as this? Is it because they are afraid? -- or because they are really not so moderate after all?

#9 Thank you GWBush for your support for our Saudi allies

NMM, seems there was a stretch between 1992-2000 that something could have been done vis a vis the Saudis, but nothing happened then either. Guess you were in rehab then...

#10 NMM do you think the MAC got a chance to send more than two teams to the tourney?
