1 Addition - the "kaboom" should be powerful enough to turn that sand into glass - the better to see the oil down there

I love how such an idea can be tossed out there so flippantly. :(

Has anyone considered who might be downwind of that fallout? Nah ...

Yeah, our military never considered that. It's a good thing you're around to remind them because you know so much more than they do.

Good analogy, though, considering cancer treatment isn't that simple either. There needs to be another framed labeled "Chemotherapy" that shows troops and civilians dying.

RIPTA points out the problem in his post. Yes, we lack the political will to attack a relatively small cancer with system-wide chemotherapy. Local surgery often works better on cancer even though it does increase the possibility of a recurrence.

How many civilians are you willing to kill and how many civilians are you willing to impoverish for decades to eradicate terrorism?

They don't have to be exact numbers. Just orders of magnitude.

E-mail the Pentagon and ask them, Fred. They plan for this sort of thing.

Wish it were that easy. These terror orgs operate in multiple countries and are loosely organized. To be effective we would have to go into multiple countries to take them out which would be a foreign relations nightmare. Even if it did work such invasive actions would breed even more contempt of our country from natives of said countries and that would lead to more terrorist.

Because the experts in the Pentagon and State Department don't have enough information to formulate a specific strategy. Better than going off half-cocked into Syria and causing even more foreign policy headaches.

You responded directly to my OP. The cartoon doesn't mention going nuclear nor did I. If you were responding to someone else's comment I missed it so apologies for misunderstanding you.

How do you get ALL the terrorists? You say ask the Pentagon. Well, the Pentagon method for getting all the enemies and not just some of them involves nukes.

No worries ... there were several and when I feel the need for a generic response to multiple people, I'll always hang it off the top post since I consider it a new subthread. Sorry if that confused, bro.
