you can't nuke anywhere without destroying the entire world.

No. When they are ALL gone we can repopulate the area with more civilised people making the place not a hell hole where everything goes to die.
Along with some nice population decreasing we can sustain the human race a little longer.

Kill squads and tactical air strikes don't need nukes.

+1 it would cause a world war 3 (most likely)

When Obama won't even mention the source of the attacks unless guns are involved, I think we have a bigger problem than just the terrorists.

lies stewie

Then we send the kill squads where ever I feel like.

it's not only about WWIII and stuff, it's also about radiation. Ever heard of nuclear winter and nuclear winds?

This ain't 1945 - Today's nukes are A LOT more destructive and radiative than those bombed Japan. You nuke Middle East with a few of those and it'll likely spread everywhere around globe.

Benjamin I agree we also have presidential problem

Bitch you act like nukes is all we got that goes BOOM.

I agree but not that powerful Benjamin it would hit Asia and Europe most likely but not us

Clearly we should blame the guy who's number one defense priority was hunting down and killing Osama bin Laden.

Jk Obama clearly hates America and wants us to fall to R A D I C A L I S L A M I C T E R R O R I S M because if you don't say the magic words R A D I C A L I S L A M I C T E R R O R I S M and blame an entire religious group that's 3 times as large as the United States you're not gonna get anywhere.

Obama's strategy doesn't deviate much from Bush's- don't alienate the group that's most capable of helping you. One of the greatest things about America is that it doesn't force Americans to choose between identities- you can be a Christian and an American, you can be Asian and American, you can be a socialist and an American; America accommodates. There's no good reason for the President of the United States to give in to political theater and tell millions of Americans that one part of their identity is in some sort of civilizational conflict with being an American- especially when it's virtually always been the policy of the United States that you can belong to any religion, race, etc., and still call yourself an American. There's a few times we've deviated from that, of course, like the Japanese internment camps, but I can't think of many Americans who'd bring that up with pride.

Lilicon love we can't just bomb the shit out of every issue we have

Prove it.
Anything that threatens you can be bombed out of existence.

All religions can be extreme and who would guess the Muslims they are supposed to one of the most peaceful religions

Yemen and Pakistan demonstrate that pretty well. We've been bombing the hell out of terrorists there only to turn them into martyrs and breed distrust of the US to the point we'd started alienating our close allies in Europe. People don't trust you nearly as much if you're violent.

@the best: That's exactly the point. Obviously a disproportionate amount of terrorism is being done in the name of Islam today. But you don't resolve that issue by bringing up the Islam/foreigner part as soon as you can (a la Trump).

In 2006, the FBI decided to infiltrate a mosque (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fbi-plant-banned-by-mosque-ndash-because-he-was-too-extreme-2153057.html) and encourage terrorism to catch any potential terrorists. The mosque instead banned the guy for being an extremist. These people are close to the extremists, capable of catching them, serving as our eyes and ears on the ground. If instead we start pointing to their Islamic identity as the problem, we alienate the best defense system we have.

One of the reasons we've historically been so successful has been our ability to realize we can turn our enemies into extremely useful allies- like Japan and Germany. Let's not make the mistake of letting this conflict become the West vs. Islam.

FYI, terrorists are doing exactly what you are offering - bombing the sh*t out of every issue they come across.

Doesn't help the world peace a lot now does it?

Not true we also need ground troops and an actually plan

if you bomb enough of 'em there ain't anyone to see 'em as martyrs anymore.
