London Bombing

[Happy Monkey]

Wow, here's someone who has gone to the far end of "they'll hate us no matter what we'll do, so it doesn't matter what we do" mentality:

(What do we do if terrorists get a nuke and use it on the US?)

"Well, what if you said something like -- if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites," Tancredo answered.

"You're talking about bombing Mecca," Campbell said.

"Yeah," Tancredo responded.

But it's OK. He was just shootin' the breeze...

The congressman later said he was "just throwing out some ideas" and that an "ultimate threat" might have to be met with an "ultimate response."

But hey, what would be the downside? They all hate us anyway. It's not like they'd hate us more if we bombed Mecca. They're fighting us now, and we haven't!
