The problem with a 'retaliatory' strike is that, even if you could bring on

so low that nobody is even going to bother to read them,

I think there's some trith in this. Last year, I was certain that Iraq had
WMD. It turned out they didn't, and the British and American dossiers were
seriously at odds with the truth.

Now the USA says Iran is building nuclear weapons. Last year, I
would have beleived them. Now I place no trust in their words.

We (the US) have fallen into an extremely serious credibility trap laid out by
Saddam. A guerilla war trapping tactic designed to defeat the ability to win
"the hearts and minds" of the Arab world and to divide (and then to conquer)
the countries of the Western alliances. Remember the "Mother of all Battles"
phrase Saddam coined? Well, debasing the credibility of the US with both the
Arab world and the US's allies is just the next step in the war plan of a guy
who considers himself to be the next "Saladin". A crafty manuever if ever the
world has seen one.

Saddam has been sucsessful in this goal. It is extremely important that he be
found and, either killed, or brought to trial.

The plan of the "one true way" Islamic religious fanatics is to economically
strangle the West by gaining control of the oil reserves of the Middle East.
They even refer to oil as "the sword of Islam". These fanatics believe that
"Allah" has "blessed" these countries with these oil resources so that the
final vicory of Islam over the "infidel" religions can be assured. Oil MUST be
used as a weapon. The jihad against the infidels requires it.

Now that Saddam's tactic of debasing the credibility of the US and dividing its
alliances has worked, it becomes perfectly obvious to the Muslim masses that
now is the time for the "Mother of all battles" against the
"infidels"......they are ALL liars afterall (lying is a characteristic of those
who are infidels to Islam).

Rise up!! Unite, brother Muslims!!! We will be victorious in the final jihad to
transform the entire world into a glorious Islamic paradise under the guiding
light of Sharia law!!!! Oh glory be to Allah and his one true prophet Muhammad
for giving us the resources we need to carry out Allah's will on this
Earth!!!!!

The only problem with the aspirations of this Islamic dream of a utopian one
world government is that there are alot of people here in the West that have no
desire to give up their current religions at the point of a sword and have
enough nuclear weapons to really slap the entire Islamic world into rethinking
the whole idea of jihad.

In the mean time, the jihadis operate carefully hidden amongst the civilian
populations until such time as their war plan becomes obvious and gains
strength amongst the Islamic masses......and debasing the credibility of the US
is only an attempt to speed that gain of strength.

Still think WWIII hasn't begun? I think it has, and Osama lit the fuse.
