Are the russkies now joining the coalition of the willing?

[smackaholic]

Just heard something on fox news about russkie spec forces being told by Putin to do whatever it takes to find the arseholes that killed four russkies in Iraq.

Welcome to the party, comrades.

I think that the russkies are finally coming to the realization that this is us versus them, them being militant islamic pieces of shit. They have even more to lose than we since they don't have something convienient such as a very large body of water between them and "them".

I'll be willing to wager that any unfortunate militant shitstain that finds himself in the custody of the russkies would be happy as hell to be led around naked on a leash.

After the gym full of kids happened up in those parts, I'm betting you are correct.

The Russians have been dealing with radical Islam for longer than we have.

Ironic that back then the US saw the Mujahadeen as useful allies.

[Nishlord]

Ironic that now the Russians and US now see themselves as useful allies.

Maybe one day, militant Islam and Israel will ally themselves against, ooh I dunno...Luxembourg.

You might recall that this is the second go around for the US and Russians. Of course we have always been at war with Eurasia.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to full out, no holds barred thermonuclear smackdown. Apparently he thinks that he'd survive it. Him, Keith Richards and a few billion cockroaches. Sounds like a fun place.

How is Keith these days, btw? Hope he's refraining from wreckless behavior such as palm tree climbing. He'd best stick to consuming his body weight , weekly in alcohol/smokes and heroin.

Not advocating Nukes b/c that isnt good for the environment and for people's safety, but we have enough bombs and technology to do more damage than we are doing. We need to look at this as war and not care as much what Europe and our own media thinks.

[Nishlord]

More bombs were dropped on Vietnam than all the bombs dropped in WW2 combined.

Again, I feel the need to point out that you are a moron.

[smackaholic]

so when you say "fight the way we could" you mean with the muzzies as opposed to russkies.

In that case, I agree.

[Smackie Chan]

Glad to see that your grasp of the obvious is as firm as ever.

Lots of folks throwing around lots of bombs. Link it up. Furthermore, dropping bombs on a trail, and to destroy a jungle canopy is a bit different than dropping it on population centers. Or did you forget what a vengeful man Winston could be ?

In February 1945, the last year of World War 2, Britain sent 300 Lancaster bombers to attack the crowded German city of Dresden. This attack was not the precision bombing of specific military targets. It was deliberate bombing of a whole area. The bombs destroyed city buildings and started tremendous fires.

Before long, eleven square miles of Dresden were consumed by a firestorm. The vacuum caused by the rapid rise of hot air created tornadoes that tossed furniture, trees and debris into the air. People were caught in fires as hot as 1000 °C. The city was devastated. No one knows how many thousands died.

The German armies were in retreat at this time and the war was nearly over. Some historians have argued that this attack was not justifiable on military grounds, that it was nothing more than a slaughter of civilians. But others say it helped to shorten the war in Europe.

Ultimate responsibility for this attack lay with the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Was the bombing of Dresden a justifiable act during wartime? How closely was Winston Churchill involved in the decision to attack the city? Does this cast a shadow upon Churchill's reputation as the heroic icon of twentieth century British history?

It begs the question, were there any "good Germans"?

And the US still dropped more bombs on Vietnam than every nation involved in WW2 combined, and it still didn't work.

[Smackie Chan]

What "harm to the environment" would have been done had we nuked Tora Bora?

The Safed Koh range, which includes the Tora Bora area, dominates the border area southeast of Kabul.

On the alpine range [of the Safed Koh] and its immediate branches, at a height of 6000 to 10,000 ft (1,800 to 3,000 m), we have abundant growth of large forest trees, among which conifers are the most noble and prominent, such as Cedrus Deodara, Abies excelsa, Pinus longifolia, P. Pinaster, P. Pinea (the edible pine) and the larch. We have also the yew, the hazel, juniper, walnut, wild peach and almond. Growing under the shade of these are several varieties of rose, honeysuckle, currant, gooseberry, hawthorn, rhododendron and a luxuriant herbage, among which the ranunculus family is important for frequency and number of genera. The lemon and wild vine are also here met with, but are more common on the northern mountains. The walnut and oak (evergreen, holly-leaved and kermes) descend to the secondary heights, where they become mixed with alder, ash, khinjak, Arbor-vitae, juniper, with species of Astragalus, &c. Here also are Indigoferae rind dwarf laburnum.

Lower again, and down to 3,000 ft (1,000 m) we have wild olive, species of rock-rose, wild privet, acacias and mimosas, barberry and Zizyphus; and in the eastern ramifications of the chain, Chamaerops humilis (which is applied to a variety of useful purposes), Bignonia or trumpet flower, sissu, Salvadora persica, verbena, acanthus, varieties of Gesnerae.

The lowest terminal ridges, especially towards the west, are, as has been said, naked in aspect. Their scanty vegetation is almost wholly herbal; shrubs are only occasional; trees almost non-existent. Labiate, composite and umbelliferous plants are most common. Ferns and mosses are almost confined to the higher ranges.

Granted, that while Tora Bora is mostly naked rock, the effects of a nuclear explosion could be expected to be felt in neighboring areas that include vegetation and possibly animal wildlife. And I'm guessing there'd be a collateral human toll, as well. After all, IL might be traumatized if he were to learn that he could no longer cast his gaze upon Pinus longifolia.

[Nishlord]

Yeah. If only they had given it ten more years and torched a few more villages, perhaps it would have worked out splendidly.

And I'd like some facts and figures to substantiate your claim.

[Smackie Chan]

You do realise that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still inhabited, don't you?

Why, no, I didn't. Please educate me.

(And this time I'll try not to forget the :sarcasm:)

[Nishlord]

Oh, well that's alright then.

That's like saying "They're putting up another massive building where the WTC was, and it's even nicer, so what's the fuss?"

[Nishlord]

Yes, and Osama bin Laden did a great job in reducing the population load in one of the most densely populated areas in the world and reduced air pollution all over the world for a few days.

[Tom In VA]

Yes, and Osama bin Laden did a great job in reducing the population load in one of the most densely populated areas in the world and reduced air pollution all over the world for a few days.

Totally false. Many of the people killed were workers that commuted from suburban areas, ergo, less dense population centers.

As for the "air pollution", wrong again. The fire and the toxins released into the air as a result of the fire are still killing people today. First responders and such are dying daily as a result of breathing in the toxic smoke.

[Nishlord]

And you were taking me seriously, Tom?

No, just splitting hairs in general.

*Not T1B posters...that goes w/o saying. I meant the U.S. and our policies.

[Smackie Chan]

Nukes are actually a positive benefit to the environment. Greens are always whining about the population load on the environment. What better way to reduce that load? Neutron bombs are even better.

Agree 100%. It's all in the way you look at it. For instance, the conventional thinking regarding forest fires is that they are destructive. But professional firefighters know that a carefully monitored and regulated controlled burn actually produces positive effects and reduces the likelihood of a catastrophic fire occurring. All we need to do is apply that kind of forward thinking to nukes. By simply detonating a few strategically located nuclear devices in, say, Compton or here in Northern Virginia, we could quickly resolve the overpopulation issue while simultaneously demolishing much of the aging infrastructure that needs rebuilding anyway. No need for the primitive wrecking balls and excavators. With the mere push of a button, BOOM! - Operation Urban Renewal is underway!
