#1 Sounds a touch alarmist to me, but I wouldnt be suprised if some of it was true. We should let al qaida and the rest of the turncoat muslims know that if any nukes go off in this country we would annihilate Mecca, any other funny business and Medina is gone, any questions? Put it like that, with the aid of a few ICBMs and I think they could understand our stance on terror. There would be no need to face mecca when they pray, because there would be nothing there. Now that would be collateral damage!

#2 I heard Farah about the "American Hiroshima" on his radio-show (Yaaas, one of my guilty internet pleasures, right after conservative french Radio-Courtoisie, oh, and fetish porn too), but didn't post the WND article (there are some follow ups in this day's edition) because it was so far fetched and overly alarmist IMHO.

AQ nukes seem quite unlikely, for various reasons given before in RB by people who know best (shelf live, availability, maintenance,...), but even if there is only a *remote* possibility, all must be done to prevent WMD use on western soil, the stakes are too extreme. That's why, yes, a publicly stated deterrence policy would make sense.

Anyway, according to the AQ nukes theory, they will be used before 2006; if so, the doubt is over, and so is the world as we know it, not to mention the muslim world, which would then meet an even more unfortunate (if deserved) fate...

#3 Here here for Tancredo.
I wish this were only alarmist, but it's too real not to be.
