The wife and I had this conversation last night. She could not believe that one of THEM could get into the country and cause a shit storm. I pointed out that douche bag will not tighten down our borders and these fuckers are too PC to start profiling all the Hijab looking mothers for them to stop a breach. There's 360 million or so people in this country. There is no way there are not some really bad anti-American people here. 1/100 of 1 percent would be 36,000 bad guys? Think my math is right. 1000 radical Islamists is a drop in the bucket but could raise a lot of hell in short order. Tell your wife to believe. They are here. 360? It is closer to 312, unless lots more "kids" have entered via the southern border. 316.98 million as your reply made me google it. 1000 extremists in that number is still a very very small percentage. |

If ISIS or anyone ever does something like that the retaliation would be monumental. Only way is a nuke and I wouldn't want to be the rougue regime (Norks or Pakis) that sold it to them. Obama wouldn't launch. Seriously. Bush might have. If someone killed 500k + Americans he might not have a choice. This country would implode with anger. Americans are like siblings who fight and say they hate each other but when an outsider comes along and threatens one of them they gang up and kick his ass good. Maybe if a nation state nuked us. I don't see Obama nuking North Korea because they sold ISIS a nuke. Not happening. That's the same as the Norks doing it. Not sure everyone will see it that way. |

You can rest assured that the hatred various political/racial/economic factions of Americans have for each other is real. It isn't "pretend hate." Agreed, but give them a common enemy and they will put differences aside (for the most part) then go back to fighting once the external threat is eliminated. Hell there's talk right now in Washington that we need to work closer with Iran until this threat is eliminated. Never thought I would see that day. The problem with this enemy though, is some political/racial/economic factions don't see them as an enemy, no matter how badly the enemy wants them dead And including myself included, view the political enemy here as a much more real threat to me than radical muslims. |

The Democrat/Progressive answer is, to weaken our defense and spend more money on making people like us!!
and also, just let anyone into the country so that America ceases to exist as a nation!! |

If ISIS did destroy or seriously damage a U.S. city would that not prove that our security apparatus is a failure or a dog and pony show? What if it is nuclear and they find that the material used to make it was our own? God only knows the amount of nuclear material that has gone "missing" in the past few decades alone.

Maybe work something out with one of the cartels, pay them a bunch of terrorist money, or get them a bunch of weapons as payment. If the mules got irradiated/sick, you could just shoot them and leave them in the desert. If the authorities even found them (it's estimated they find 5-10% of the bodies out there from all causes...) there's nothing to say they weren't just killed in a drug smuggling operation gone bad. |

Maybe the geniuses in D.C. could get right on that. It might help to police and enforce the borders instead of importing more narco-thugs and those who hate the U.S. It might even do more good then giving granny a pat down or checking the average persons credit card statements.

I don't think they would have to completely destroy a city.
Here in nashville, a tanker truck hit a bridge and exploded. It was one of the major interstates into and out of town. It made me realize that a small crew that had a decent plan could really screw up a city and cause a whole lot of panic and fear amongst the population. Just look at boston and how they tried to lock it down. I lived in the DC area during 9-11 and the DC sniper, both had the desired terror effect. Now think what one guy with a dirty bomb by a major sporting event would do. |

Do you think anyone is going to support a gun control law if ISIS uses a WMD on an American city? The Obama administration wanted to pass more gun control, requiring that FFLs in southern border states file extra reports on anyone buying more than one semi-auto rifle bigger than .22 (essentially targeting ARs without calling them ARs). He declared that it was because Mexican cartels were buying them legally in those states from those FFLs and at gun shows, then using them to murder thousands in Mexico. It then came to light that the administration was deliberately running such guns into Mexico, telling FFLs that they HAD to sell to shady characters as part of this "stingless sting" operation. The result? The ATF used its regulatory powers to require the extra reporting, sticking to the script even though it was all over every media outlet that said script was complete bullshit. It doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't need to be "supported" by anyone. The lawmakers make the laws and we suffer under them until we remove those lawmakers or nullify those laws. And the other side, as has been said, never lets a crisis go to waste. |
