See, this is why I disagree with the Shrub. There is absolutely
no reason to put America's sons and daughters in harms way. The
oil in the Middle East is generally about two miles deep. Which
means that there is no way it would be adversely affected by a
little bit of radioactivity on the surface. Pull all our troops
out, and turn the whole freaking place into a puddle of glass.

Sounds good to me. Make an example outta them. They understand
power. And if they're all dead the ones who're left someplace else won't
wanna mess with us.

If'n JFK had done that with Cuba we wouldn't have half the
problems in the world that we're currently facing.


I prefer the solution that got Doug MacArthur fired by Truman

Duh, ya lost me....

During the Korean War, when the ChiComs started flooding south
to aid the North Koreans, General MacArthur wanted to use dirty
nukes to create a 10 mile wide radiation belt across the border.
The Chinese troops could still have crossed, but they would have
dropped dead from radiation poisoning with 72 hours.
