No way!

I know it's unpopular to say, but why risk a single American soldier, sailor, airman, marine or coastguardsman

(or woman) when the whole ISIS, ISIL al-Qaeda mess could have been solve before nightfall on 9/11/01?

What's the point? Even an airburst at very high altitude as a warning. Even that?

All this and Gutierrez (D-IL) says it would be "folly" to secure the borders. OUR BORDERS ARE STILL AT RISK.

Victim or victor? Which is it going to be for this nation?

This question is directed at all you Millennial Posters as its' YOUR future?

re: No way!

The Lefties who have hated this nation, clearly a form of mental illness or too many drugs, have done their job well.

The fact that we hesitated AT ALL to respond with extreme prejudice to the 9/11 attacks beggars the question:

WHY DO LIBERALS HATE AMERICA?

Do you think that, if you label yourself as a Liberal or Progressive, an al-Qaeda or ISIS/ISIL clown would hesitate taking your head off?

(Apologies to the families of the victims thus far.)

re: .Ivory

Agreed.

Was looking at some old CNBC coverage of the 9/11 attacks.

During one of them, they (CNBC, the Market channel) were running the MSNBC feed and the late Mario Cuomo (ex-Gov. of NY State) was talking about "negotiating" if you can believe it.

NEGOTIATE.

And we wonder why this nation is in the shape its' in when we elect, and re-elect, Lefties.

Dear God, 2976 people are being killed and he was talking about negotiating.

Nuclear weapons, even the very small-yield variety, are horrible instruments, but a decision may have to be made since one has not been made yet about using them.

All of this was going through my mind. I cut my run short today, my head was so filled with frustration. we have to vote in two months and I have no enthusiasm.

90% can be dismantled. But the US needs the rest for space based high energy weapons. Only Japan and the US can deploy those weapons now which are on the ground presently due to international treaty. Iran is close and will test launch inactive platforms in 3-5 years.

Wow. Okay, I have to go 5/10. From the thread title, I had thought this was 1/10 material, at best, but I can see we're on the second page of (mostly) serious responses. Well played, I guess, OP.

Anyway, I think most of the nuclear arsenal, if not all, *should* be destroyed. A lot of people don't realize that dismantling a nuke is damned dangerous work. The safest way actually is to detonate them--and I can, if requested, provide a pretty good list of places to do that.

Uh, you might want to check the dates. It took a second YEAR to reach the second page.

1/10 was about right.

Yes! Destroy it right in the center of the Middle East! This is the only way to end this holy war!
