Oh, what a spin!! So, I take it, then, that when you play chess, and
someone takes your Queen, a Rook or a Knight becomes the Queen??

Good morning Kevin. I really do look forward to you posting to this board
every weekday morning so I can start my day with a good laugh.

Kevin,
If the Queen of England dies, or the President of the US etc. dies, do you
think someone else becomes the new Queen/King of England, or the President
of the US etc?

Harrry, you should have added the fact that you can do nothing but
whine about it, 'cause you, like the rest of the liberals, have no
ideas!

John, I'm a liberal, and I have a plan. I explained it to you and NOYB
over
a year ago. It's absolutely perfect. It's derived from commonly
accepted
methods of discliplining children. Have you forgotten already?


Yup. It must not have overly impressed me, or I didn't see it. Tell me
again, please. But please don't adopt Harry's cut and run attitude,
'cause that won't fly.

1) Indicate to Muslim-dominant countries that we have a lottery tumbler
filled with balls containing the names of every town in their countries
with
a population greater than some number. Let's use 5,000 as a minimum
population. Show a demo of the tumbler on television, being spun by a
scantily clad woman.

2) Any time American property or life is attacked, anywhere, we will
quickly
determine if the attack appears to have been conducted by Islamic
wackos.
We
don't need to know specifically who. One bunch or another usually claims
responsibility. That's how radicals have always been, regardless of
whether
they're Irish, Colombian, skinheads, Italian, SDS, whatever. It's an ego
thing.

3) Indicate to the list of governments that if an attack on us takes
place
anywhere, we will spin the lottery tumbler, pick a town, and level it
completely. Might take a few days, since there's a limit as to how much
weaponry a jet can carry, but we'll be sure to do a good job. It's
important
that the attack begin with seconds of the named ball falling from the
lottery tumbler. No choking one's chicken for 8 months, as your
president
did with Iraq.

4) Get our troops out of whatever country these people are whining about
at
the moment. Like Iraq. Indicate to the list of potential offenders that
it
is now the job of their governments and clergy to keep their problems
within
their own borders, where they belong. In other words, "We're leaving, as
you
asked. Now you have nothing to cry and complain about. If you need to
continue complaining, do it in your own rooms, with the doors closed and
don't come out until you're ready to behave properly. If you find
mullahs
who still want to preach hatred and destruction, we will gladly help you
'calm' them down, via lobotomy, prison (here), or whatever is necessary.
Drop them off at the nearest embassy and we'll handle it from there.
We'll
be doing the same with Pat Robertson, Dick Cheney, and some of our other
mullahs".

Of course, the world will think this is madness, so we should
demonstrate,
just once, on an unpopulated target.


Sounds like a plan. Of course, when the first bomb was dropped all the
liberals in the world would be screaming about the number of innocent
civilians killed, regardless of how many American lives were lost.

John H

I'm a liberal. I wouldn't argue with discipline which was fairly and
accurately explained before the misbehavior occurred. It's common sense,
like raising kids.


So you would punish one kid for the acts of the other?

--
John H

That's exactly what your president is doing in Iraq. I'd just change the
plan to give bad people an opportunity to clean up their acts. Not much of
an opportunity, but still......


The President is punishing no one now. He punished Saddam for the things Saddam did.

Don't get me wrong. I love your idea. It's like a 'one way' MAD policy! I think it would make no
difference to terrorist leaders who have shown their disregard for any life, except their own.

JohnH,
If this NG did not have a "Kevin" we would have to invent one. He is
priceless, and in my humble opinion brings more joy to rec.boats than anyone
else. I almost spit coffee all over my monitor when I read his post
concerning "succession of command".

Kevin is one in a million. Did you know he graduated from U of Penn?

You're right (about terrorist leaders). But, it just might give a few
parents a reason to pause and think before they let their kids pursue the
"seven virgins in paradise" bull****. That kind of glory isn't so much
different than what youngsters here think they'll achieve if they join a
gang and as part of the initiation rites, go out and kill a cop. Parents
*do* have some effect, sometimes.

Harry,
Kevin was not questioning the theory of a war of attrition. He didn't
understand the basic concept of succession of command.

Let's be honest with each other, don't you find Kevin to be very humorous?
It would be hard to find someone as funny as Kevin if we tried.

I proposed a similar scenario a couple of years ago.

Link each US city up with an equal-sized city in a "Muslim-dominant"
country. For example, if NY gets hit (population 8.1 million), buh-bye
to 3/4 of Tehran (population 12 million).

But I favored nukes over conventional weapons. They're cheaper and put
US forces at less risk.

Only stupid people would actually advocate the use of nuclear weapons.

They're cheaper and put US forces at less risk.
