Intelligence Expert Says US Has Secretly Threatened To Nuke Mecca
The lack of a large-scale terrorist attack by Al Qaeda since 9/11 may have an simple explanation according to intelligence expert Dr. Jack Wheeler - he believes Bush has told Bin Laden that Mecca will be nuked if any such attack takes place.
Wheeler suggests that such a tactic was used by Israel to prevent conflict with neighbouring Egypt. Israel threatened to destroy the Aswan Dam, which would have had devastating consequences for the Egyptians and so no war has been fought since 1972.
Concerning the Mecca theory, Wheeler says "Completely obliterating the terrorists' holiest of holies, rendering what is for them the world's most sacred spot a radioactive hole in the ground is retribution of biblical proportions".
Can you imagine the international backlash? This intel expert is retarded.
The terrorists in Iraq (they are TERRORISTS, not INSURGENTS), in al-Qadia, in sleeper-cells, are on the fringe of Islamic belief, twisting pieces of the Quar'an as they see fit to further their own ideals. I am friends with several Islamics and I tell you now, they are a peaceful sort.
If I know this, so does my government. Bombing Mecca destroys the peaceful Islamic, not the radical.
Pros: None. Cons: Destruction of peaceful Islamic follwers. International backlash. Unification of radical and peaceful Islam against the US.
It's absurd. This 'intel expert' is shooting for 15 mins of fame, nothing more.
Saudi Arabia is under the protection of US nukes. Saudi Arabia's biggest threat is Iran. Iran is mostly Shiite muslim and Saudia Arabia is mainly Sunni muslim and they don't get along together. We have agreement to protect Saudia Arabia should they ever have a problem with Iran. The only thing is that lately Saudi Arabia has been thinking about aquiring their own nukes so that they don't have to depend on us. The U.S. doesn't think this is a good idea because there is a possibility that the Saudi royal family could be overthrown and the radicals would take over, similar to the Iranian revolution of 1979 http://wnd.com/
The pros of Threatening to nuke Mecca have apparently (if this is truthful) have prevented Al Qaida attacks so far. Don't jump to such idiotic conclusions. I know what I said, you don't, if I said it wrong in my post, then go ahead and flame me for skipping over a word, typing mistakes are common with everyone, get off my back.

al-Qaida won't strike us again anytime soon because Bush has shown that when we're attacked, we fight back.
"Don't jump to such idiotic conclusions." - No idea what that is in reference to. "I know what I said, you don't, if I said it wrong in my post, then go ahead and flame me for skipping over a word, typing mistakes are common with everyone, get off my back." - No idea what that is in reference to, either.
this Wheeler character sounds like a total dumbass, along with the rest of these 'journalists' and commentors in the wnd.com site. Those dumb bastards are trying to start the Apocalypse... (in their own minds).
the Christian neo-con right trying to fullfil their biblical prophecies (just in case they don't fullfil themselves). They only have a year until the second comming and they've lots to do ;)
You think by nuking a place like Mecca, terrorists will stop? If it will do anything, it will piss them off, they might just let a few nukes off in our cities as retaliation.
I doubt this is true. What would have been more believable, is if the white house had threatened the saudi royals that mecca will be nuked, thus leaving them unable to sit back while al qaeda breeds in its backyard.
Not that would be true either, but its more believable imo.
Speculation of this sort is likely to unify the middle-east in a way akindred to what the revelation of a 9/11 attack would before it happened, provided the details came out, (or "did") for people in this country.
It won't be good.
All this talk of nuking, however, is making me hungry.
I'm going to go and nuke some popcorn, and I'm going to watch The Breakfast Club.
