Well, that bombing run would also allow us to see what it's like to live in a truly isolationist (or maybe 'isolated' is a better word) world.

We'd be pretty much persona non grata in most countries of the world. Americans doing business or living abroad would be dog food, of course, but that's only a few million people.

I guess those businesses might take a serious hit, too. So, okay, part of the cost is a global economic collapse. We can take that in stride.

It might take a few years to raise the horses necessary to provide replacement transportation for cars and trucks, but we can bring back that good old tech. New job opportunities for bull gelders to produce oxen. Your pups might start pulling their own weight, too, with the renaissance of dog carts.

But you know, it damn well might be worth it. Who wants out of season produce anyway? And who needs computer chips? We'll go back to good old American ingenuity and get those carburetors back in the few cars we have. Who needs stinking electronic power management in those cars anyway?

Once the dust settled from the bombs (and whatever counter attacks), we could go green effortlessly, too! Nobody will be flying anywhere outside the continental US anyway. I wonder if the million or so Muslims in the US will just shut up and take it like a man (or woman)?

But we must take the expansive view. We can help Ted Kaczinski realize his Luddite dreams while he's still alive!

"Pretty sure that at that point, we'd all have much bigger worries than a bunch of illiterate Koran-thumpers wearing hastily-assembled amateurish bomb belts."

You can say that again. To put it another way, if we ever nuked Mecca and Medina, something would have had to happen to make us so enraged and bloodthirsty that Islam would have already lost the war.

If Muslims really don't want their important cultural waypoints bombed, they should probably take a look at the root causes and ask: why do they fear us?

Likely in response to what Tancredo said recently, some "officials" in Islamabad have declared that if the U.S. bombs Mecca and Medina, one billion followers of the Religion of Peace will turn into suicide bombers.

Actually, since the statement came from Islamabad, maybe they were reacting to Obama's attempt at military strategery.

I heard Dennis Miller say on O'Reilly tonight that Muslims aren't faberge eggs and we should tease them like we do everyone else.

It's already been said by others that since radical Muslims are so utterly devoid of a sense of humor, then humor is a major weapon in our arsenal. We should make fun of them every chance we get.

Those who are engaged in freedom war are freedom fighters.

We demand the freedom to compel submission to our Faith through the sword! We demand the freedom to beat our wives, treat them like children or property! We demand the freedom protect everybody from the sin of democracy! We demand the freedom to deny everyone else their freedom!

You know, because one man's freedom fighter is another man's total whackjob.

Quoted Article: Those who are engaged in freedom war are freedom fighters.

No argument there. Crime fighters fight crime. Fire fighters fight fire. Therefore, freedom fighters....

best.line.ever.

JFB:

You need to get on Google and read "The Three Conjectures" then look up and read "The Fourth Conjecture". The ultimate future described is not so remote and unlikely and insane as you are trying to portray it. If radical islamic jihadist get access to a significant number of tactical nuclear weapons it is inevitable!

The world described in "Revelations" is drastically different from the world we currently live in. If "Revelations" is correct, something very drastic has to happen to radically change the world in a farely short span of time. I'm not making any predictions but a fundamental overwhelming nuclear western response to an intolerable islamic threat seems the most likely to reconfigure the world in that direction.

We live in interesting times.

JFB: I'm not sure you picked up on the sentence where I said the only way we'd be bombing those places is if we were sufficiently provoked, which I said would be apocalyptic. Which basically means it's never going to happen. I was just mocking those threat-monkeys. Silly.

I suggested years ago at IMAO that we bomb Medina first, then Mecca if necessary. I was called a barbarian!

I agree that humor, and tolerance of it, is one of our best weapons against these nutjobs.

I haven't laughed that hard in days.

You are seriously awesome.

Of course WE can't bomb muslim holy sites, but they can be used as armories, hideouts and jihad garden party centers--and blown up by other muslims who are infighting.

Islam is completely rational.

Do you think we could disrupt them by introducing some sort of mad-goat disease virus, wiping out herds of potential lovers? Or would they just shift to camels?

Gmsc: Great post. I love your way of thinking.

Shouting 'durka-durka-mohammad-jihad' in between roadside lovemaking sessions with goats.

Heh. I really missed your blogging style the last couple of years and am glad to have it back.

Tanc's been getting a lot of grief from people for his "bomb Mecca" comment. Personally, I think that that would be the appropriate reaction if some jihadist fucknozzle plants a nuclear mushroom on US soil. Most of them would protest, "But we didn't do it!". Yeah, and one other thing you won't be doing for about 10,000 years is going on the family hajj you had planned.

I'm tired of tip-toeing around these terrorist sympathizing douchebags whose sole purpose in life, other than changing the law so that they can marry their camels, is to cow the rest of the world into never, ever, criticizing their pedophile prophet, or looking sideways at their Koran. As for me, I keep a copy of their holy book in the can. You never know when you'll run out of toilet paper.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day...so check back often.

Actually, in a geopolitical sense, the guy is right. America is nobody's friend. We never have been and we never will be.

We have alliances, not friendships...even with England it's only called a "special relationship", and that "special relationship" is being endangered by Gordon Brown even as we speak.

No, indeed, we're nobody's friend. That makes it easier to do what we have to do when the time comes.

When I was boy growing in the Saudi Arabia, we were of poor so much that camels and goats we had not of them.

"So much for the date of the prom!" I cried out to the vast canopy of uncaring stars, suddenly poetic, in the despair of the proportions suicidal.

A boy who has not one animals to prom take is no boy of the bedouin culture.

The others laugh, "Ha Ha on the Achmed. No camel or goat does he to the prom take a date. Verily, a Loser is he."

"Yes, Mahmoud, it is the Ha Ha time on the Achmed. WE will be of the suck-facing and feel-copping with our camels and sheep dates in the back of donkey cart seat, but Achmed he will be all alone with his shorty wazoo, beneath the canopy of uncaring stars."

See, they at me with great gusto are laughing.

And they steal my lines.

My shame.

My shame.

I must endure, or keep going.

But fearing I am not.

I know an animal to the prom to take. She is of the hairy very much. Truly her face cannot one see.

She has the beautiful hooves and the engorged utters.

And the smell ripe of the barnyard.

Truly she is the animal for me.

Maybe her hump she will let me feel, too, my sister Fatima.

... so not only don't islamofreaks lack a sense of humor, symphathizers like JFB do as well.

A minor quibble .... mujahadden and goats - lovemaking? I don't think islanofreaks understand the meaning of the word love ... they would just consider that their norm - non-consentual sex.

I have no argument with hurling a couple of nukes at places they care about ... it worked to end the war that Japan started, it can work to end the war that Islam started. AND ... it'll be de rigeur to practice profiling and catch the goatfondlers trying to sneak in suitcase nukes hidden under their headwraps.

Sure, they might manage to cause some consternation on this continent ... but we don't have the same makeup ... they'd be targetting places that are blue, blue, blue, blooie ... and just get us redstaters another reason to send followers of that ancient pedophile to meet him ... heh.

Lance, I am going to start using your comments as guest posts when I have nothing to say.

I realize Ejaz Chaudhry doesn't speaka da engrish so well, that's understandable. But maybe he shouldn't have aimed so high with his statement. Go for something simple, like: "I love you", or "Fire bad." Can you imagine how this would have looked if he text messaged it in?

In the spirit of ridicule I wanted to respond to a few sentences:

"We will teach the lesson to US if it dares to come forward to attack upon us."

That's good. I guess this means you won't do a damn thing if we skip the 'upon' part?

"Americans are coward nation and they can do nothing."

We can do nothing, that is true. I do nothing very well as a matter of fact, usually on Saturdays. It's when we decide to do something that those opposed to us should worry.

"US aid is like killer disease AIDS. We curse it."

See what he did there, it's a synonym! But not really, because AIDS is an acronym.

"The whole nation does not want US aid."

Will you settle for killer disease AIDS then?

"US ship is close to sink."

Which means it's right by the bathtub.

Let's give Chaudry & friends a little slack. They're politicians, so they are 1) liars, 2) homegrown idiots (like the Pakistani version of Kucinich or Sharpton - Mr. Tancredo, call your office) and 3) grandstanding (in a deeply ignorant and backwards way) for a (deeply ignorant and backwards). As if Mr. Chaudry would become a suicide bomber. Please. Just like Bill remembers flaming black churches and Hill was named for the mountain climber-guy.

That said, who are the Pakistanis kidding? They are a tiny, poor, ass-backwards nation that's one assassinated strongman General y Presidente away from being ruled by Taliban, Part 2. (What kind of country bothers to publish a barely-literate foriegn-language newspaper?)

The only reason anyone pays any attention to them is because 1) they have nukes, 2) they are adjacent (any contributing to) our little problem in Afghanistan and 3) they support terrorism in Kashmir.

To the south and east of Pakistan lies a large, vibrant, growing, market-driven democracy with a much bigger Religion-of-Peace problem than we've ever had. We should really be buddying up to the Indians.

That way, if Pakistan falls to the Islamists we can pre-emptively destroy Pakistan's nukes and C3 infrastructure while the Indian Army - supported by Special Forces and with massive American air support, pours across the border.

ahem, that should've been "deeply ignorant and backwards constituency"...

I used to work at the Pentagon on a non-existent ring on a non-existent level and let me tell ya that Tom T isn't saying anything that isn't in a pre-plan should the need arise.

I rather like the fact that we have some crazy sum-bitches that you don't know whether or not they will pull the trigger.

"utters"?

Idiot.

udders

As in, "Hey, Baby. Nice udders."

Rachel, you make me laugh.

So Frank J. WAS right after all with his Nuke the Moon foolishness. Who knew?

How timely that I came across this entry today. I think you can possibly provide an answer for the question that has been burning a hole in my corpus callosum for the last 18 or so hours.

I belong to that Netflix movie thing, and they recently began to provide this service whereby you can download movies directly to your computer for viewing at no additional fee. So being the good capitalist that I am I immediately took advantage of this service, and as such downloaded what I am sure is already an American classic, that I have as of yet not seen, namely "Team America: World Police". I throughly enjoyed the film, but it left me with this question I have been rolling around in my brainbox all day today trying to figure out.

WTF does "Durka Durka" mean?

I appreciate any and all help you might provide me with in terms of resolving my dilemna regarding this question.

Have fun ;)!
