    Well, you opened my eyes to how political people will make everything. But you seem to have really hit them were it would count in reality - their thinkers. Something seems to be off or like willie nelson - a few fries, (hamburger and toy,) short of a happy meal. (BTW, I hate happy meals.)

    Alien invasion is a more likely scenario.

    Ok, so I scramble our fighters and take out all of the bombers.

    Threat averted.

    Do I win?

    What if they already destroyed our fighters before you could scramble them?

    Too little too late?

    if your question is to have a valid effect in saving American lives then we have to take a look at how things deteriorate to that point. other than that it is just about revenge and fear, pointless and useless.

    Oh, but guerilla isn't a liberal ;) ;)

    Uh, he's a, uh, a "conservative republican!" At least that's how he tried to redefine himself a few months ago :D

    Good Lord, this is too funny!

    They didn't take out our fighter defenses. Seattle, DC, and Norfolk VA according to you..

    Perfect response. As soon as I knew they were being dropped by bombers, I took them out.

    It's not an attack, it was an observation. An attack on guerilla would be if I called him a patriotic American. I can't think of anything that would be more offensive to him. That's why I don't call him one. I'm trying to respect the forum rules ;)

    Did I advocate what you said? Pfft! Yeah, if you let alex jones do your thinking or have been spending too much time on willie nelson's tour bus, one might come to that conclusion!

    What I did say, was people who believe America deserves to be nuked ought to be rounded up in one location and have their wish granted. After all, *they* believe our country should be nuked, right? Let's grant their wish.

    Were you admitting you were one of those people who believe America deserves to be nuked?

    Nah, you were just confused again. Always happy to set the record straight.

    If I were President, I would bomb Iran, and not help them rebuild. In fact, I may take all their land as well and auction it off on Ebay to help lower our national debt. Elect me!:)

    You give a speech like that at the Republican National Convention, and I'm pretty sure the neoconservatives would elect you!

    President Rebecca. Has a nice ring to it. :)

    The basis of this thread is simply idiotic to say the least. Iran with nukes, missiles that can hit us deep inside our homeland, bomber planes reaching us. :rolleyes:

    When is this? The year 2020? I guess the damage done to the economy and the dollar finally did us in and we could not keep up to the point Iran can hit us with war planes.


    ---------------------

    As far as the question itself, if any country hits us with a nuke, we have proof it was them.....

    In my eyes it's simple, they die. I highly doubt any other country, if they knew full well country X hit us with a nuke it going to attempt anything, much less with nukes to prevent us from hitting country X back.

    The question is silly not in the sense that it could/couldn't happen, but the answer is just terribly obvious.

    What country wouldn't go to war if it was nuked?

    So you would go and do the same thing and kill more innocent people, possibly starting a world war. You are a great president and I will definitely vote for you. :).


    Yeah right.

    THE YEAR IS 2050

    IRAN HAS FINALLY GOTTEN HOLD OF AN ANTIQUE OLD SOVIET WEAPON OF THE 1960s

    Hell, they'd probably keep it in a Museum instead of committing national suicide with it.

    Unless Iran had an alien technology which provides a 100% umbrella against 10,000+ US nukes, it isn't likely to attack Seattle. :D

    But if a rouge Iranian general did it, would you let millions of Iranian kids die? for no fault of theirs?

    What if that rouge general is sponsored by an enemy of Iran, so that it can watch the fun without getting directly involved?

    What if someone faked Iran, and nuked USA, and left enough evidence to frame Iran?

    Actually, the OPs question presupposes Iran would attack a major US city without any motivation or fear of annihilation

    The topic was stupid, and I wanted to point that out by playing along.

    My job as Pres. is to protect American lives, not to carry out revenge. It's no good killing all of the Taliban Iraqis Al Queda Iranians if there are no Americans left behind.

    Any President worth his @ss would have stopped the attacks before launching back and creating Mutually Assured Destruction.

    And any President worth a damn lick would have tried to avoid spreading it into a global nuclear holocaust, exterminating the human race.

    Basically, any President would have to be smarter than GWB, who would probably use Iranian bombings as an excuse to invade Poland.

    Of course there was no shortage of idiots in this thread who assumed that the correct answer is to attack back, and disregarded the point that the lives of the American people are the highest priority of the President during a time of war. Not payback or "winning"
