Nuking terrorists??

I was out today and just signed on.

What's this about DU wanting to nuke terrorists???

I can't believe what I'm freakin' hearing!!!

1. Apparently, some people think that terrorists will be deterred to act if the president threatens to

nuke them? That somehow a US president could call Bin Laden on the phone and negotiate with him the way Kennedy negotiated with Castro.

Not sure what the reasonning is, but it seems that there has been an invasion of neocons on DU this week.

2. Oh! now the Iraq policy finally makes sense!

They want to give a country entirely to the terrorists so they can negotiate with it cold war style! Gotcha! :sarcasm:

4. Nuking yes, covert operation no

Very crazy week indeed. I think maybe we've just been living in Bush upside-down world too long and people can't remember what sanity sounds like.

5. Not just some people. Hillary Clinton implied that.

Barack Obabama is reaonable enough to say he won't drop a nuclear bomb to kill a terrorist.

3. It's impractical.

Think of the devastation and fallout in southern Maryland and northern Virginia if we nuked the terrorists.
