Is this speculation????

[AAP]

In emails I have received I have been told the following... which if any is true and what else have I missed? (haven't had my TV on all day)

Bush says 20 Billion committed to retaliation
Congress says 40 billion committed.
Full scale retaliation to be under way shortly.
Pakistan approves use of air space for U.S. raids and bombings. (this would be the first EVER Pakistan has worked with U.S.)
Troops will move in from all available borders, cutting off retreat and escape routes.
All surrounding territories and states have backed U.S. and given full support.
Nuclear force is considered in nuking the mountains that the terrorists have fled to.


Please fill me in on all I have missed bros...

I really hope not.....

The US would light up like a Roman Candle if that were to occur.

I have heard about everything except for the nuclear part. I really hope we don't have to use them. 2thick...what do you mean that the US will light up like a candle??

2 thick thinks the US can be taken down.. ignorant canadian.. its pure jellously...

Terrorists are encouraged to commit more acts with every action deemed to be aggressive by the 'West'.

So, for every bomb that is dropped in the Middle East, a building will explode in the US.

This is not mere conjecture this is fact. You seem to underestimate the insanity and conviction of some Islamic fundamentalists.

I am an ignorant American, too. You keep forgetting that, genius boy.

 

[thefantom1]

I wasn't underestimating the fundamentalists, I was just curious as to what you exactly meant by that....if you meant that nuclear attacks would happen on US soil or if you were talking of other bombings......

 

[Engine9]

I think 2-Thick is right on this one. They have already showed that they can get to us.

 

[YellowD]

And if we don't retaliate, you think they are just going to decide to stop their life long commitment to the destruction of the United States? "Well guys, great show, but I think thats about all for now... let's break up for tea and crumpets with the other Arabs... I got camel shotgun!".

I'm all for a campaign against terrorism, and you better fucking believe I'll enlist if I can help. Reserves may be called to duty within the week.

Just small scale bombings like in Northern Ireland.

 

[FrankRizzo]

Bush would never utilize atomic weapons if he didn't think we couldn't defend ourselves from a nuclear counter attack. Satellite defense is not a thing of the future. Classisified info and equipment is so thick in the Air Force it'd make your head swim.

 

[Engine9]

NO NO dont get me wrong- I am all for retaliation. I just think that we will have to be prepaired.

 

[2Thick]

"Well guys, great show, but I think thats about all for now... let's break up for tea and crumpets with the other Arabs... I got camel shotgun!".

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

 

[Austin316]

2Thick is right about that, the only way I can see of nullifying that is to issue Marshal Law and round up all the immigrants her from that region that we can find. Reminicient of the movie "The Siege" I highly doubt nukes will be invovled, we will probably rade them and kill all the terrorists unless they do the smart thing and hand them over so none of the innocent people are killed

 

[Warik]

1) We WILL retaliate.
2) The United States will never, EVER, use nuclear weapons offensively. Any use of nuclear weapons will be in response to an all-out nuclear attack on us... which is basically a "we're going down but you're coming too" response... the U.S. knows that launch nukes = receive nukes. It won't happen.
3) The U.S. cannot and will not be taken down.
4) Yes, 2Thick is an ignorant Canadian/American (Nice to see you again old buddy ).

That being said, I hope retaliation is quick and swift. Expect a country other than the U.S. to be smoking within the week.

If there's gonna be any effort like that, I think everyone understands it has to be more than just "retaliation" -- it has to be the complete destruction of the organization responsible. NEVER turn your back on a hurt and pissed off enemy. If you're going to kick him down, be prepared to finish the job.... but it helps if you don't destroy yourself in the process...

 

[Engine9]

Expect a country other than the U.S. to be smoking within the week.

Amen

yellow d is correct, t here is no way retaliation can be avoided, otherwise it will encourage them to strike more. They caught us by surprise, for the most part. But not again.

I understand Russia is backing the U.S. as well.
