If Bin Ladin did do it Afghan=Screwed

[spanky]

this is prolly a silly question, but does afghanastan or any of these other countries that harbor bin laden have nukes? sh!t...with $200 million...i'm afraid to answer that question.

 

[mztykal]

An eye for an eye...

I'm of drafting age BTW...

...but hell if I'm going to do anything that involves exercise. I'm the perfect example of the lazy college student.

 

[spanky]

bin laden's only got two eyes. what r we gonna do? pluck his eyes out, stick them back in, pluck them out, stick them back in, etc? hey, thats not a bad idea....

 

[Kcucumber]

Afghanistan, in fact, does have a couple of nukes and they're not afraid to use them. Right now, Chinese and Russians still hold the most number of nukes and American is third. Boy, we're not as tough as we used to be, eh?

I agree with MidnightKrawler

We must do the same damage to them so we're not known as weaklings.
I Say we fight til' the death. Life is nothing without security.

 

[spanky]

anyone else want to move to antarctica with me?

 

[Lioness]

What do you think bin laden's next move against the US will be? I'm sure he expected the US to retailiate. We all have a pretty good idea what the US's next move is. What are your thoughts on this?

 

[Stallion]

Kill em all and let God sort them out.

 

[SinMen]

If there is a nuclear war, are we citizens of America protected and will not be killed? BTW, I thought we had spy satellites that are so powerful that can read a newspaper's print from the sky. How come it's so hard to pinpoint someone's whereabout then?

 

[Darksamie]

I think it will be very interesting to find out how this thing pans out. Although we will be hearing about it for the next year I am sure.

I get the feeling like this is going to be messy. No country is going to stand up and claim responsibility for the mass murderings. Even if a few individuals or group claims responsibility, no country is going to stand behind them. The US is going to bomb Afghanistan but they will claim innocence and cannot retaliate. Meanwhile this adds fuel to the fire and perhaps we see more commercial airline bombings. Other radical groups see the 'success' (I hate to use that term) of bin Laden's group and will try to hijack planes into another major areas. Who knows if any security system will be sufficient to deter zealots crazed on a suicide mission. I hate to paint the gloomy picture, but it seems to me that the days of fighting big country-to-country wars are over. Small groups terrorize, disperse, and impossible to track down. The only way the US can retaliate is indirectly, through those governments who have supported those groups. And then you're talking about oppressive governments who totally screw over their people, who are more interested in subsisting than fighting a war. And it's those people who will face the brunt of the wrath. It's a cruel irony that the evil actions of a few destroy the many. I concede that the US has really no other option, I'm just sad to see it like this.

Look: Everybody knows that bin laden is in afghan. They can't get him out because it is illegal and in the past has not been worth a war with afghanistan.

Some of you people scare the crap out of me. You want nukes? You think its ok to kill afghan innocents who hate their government just as much as we do? NO its not alright. Don't excuse collateral damage as alright. Yes it happens, but its not alright and should always be minimized. You can't just say "Bah, this happens nothing we can do" and carpet bomb a town of people.

Drop all the weaponry you want on the taliban's military if bin did it and they don't give him up, but killing citizens does not make up for what happened yesterday.

 

[HowardStern]

Not necessarily. The Afgan's can simply say "we can't find him, your welcome to come look for him yourself" and be invited in (militarily).

<< why should afgan pay for binladins bs...tha >>



Wake up school kids. This is not a game. The nation of Afghanistan was complicit in this and virtually all other attacks by Bin Ladin by providing Bin Laden safe haven. It took bombing German cities into moonscapes to make it possible to defeat them. We have now been engaged by an enemy possibly even more remorseless than Adolph Hitler. The citizens of Dresden have something in common with New Yorkers, only Dresden was the final act and New York is the beginning. The muslims have a long history of conversion by the sword. This is just the new version. You might also want to refer to the bombing of Hamburg. There are few times when excessive, overwhelming and brutal force is called for. This is one of those times. Welcome to the real world, there are people in it that you don't know that want you and yours dead. Curtiss LeMay would know exactly what to do. Churchill's man was General Arthur 'Bomber' Harris. When the stock markets reopen, buy Olin and the other munitions companies. I have a feeling they will have an excellent quarter in the very near future.

If the Afghan's won't let us go in to look we will invade. We can probably take them in about 1 week if we try real hard. I wouldn't let the Soviet experience dissuade us, the Soviet's can't even take on a tiny country like Chetchenia.

Do you have any physical evidence that Bin Laden or Afghanistan was involved in this? It has been about 24 hours since the towers went down. Already people are pointing fingers at the Middle East. Isn't it a bit EARLY to do so? For all we know, it was an American paramilitary group which did it, or it could even have been a massive corporate conspiracy. You imply that Bin Laden committed this attack - we know nothing of the sort. Quit buying into the media hype the TV News corporations have been quick to leap on...take this step by step with more objective information.

The evidence is piling very quickly. Senator Orin Hatch flapped his big pie hole about electronic listening of a conversation implicating Bin Ladin. The FBI has found a rental car at the Boston airport full of incriminating evidence. The other possible suspects are also being rapidly eliminated. Plus, the mark of Osama is all over the attack. The probability that is Bin Ladin is quickly passiing 95 percent. Voice recordiing black boxes should put the matter to rest. And no, I am not a war monger. To quote Secretary of State, Coliin Powell. "It's is a war against civilization". The war started yesterday morning.
