    I have been wondering why the US doesn't just launch Cruise missiles at any known terrorist camp, regardless of borders.

    Tell the big powers that we are going to commence doing this, and when one is identified, give the country that is housing the camp a warning call that a missile is incomming.

    Don't let them train, keep the roaches scurrying.

    cuz then we'd look like hypocrites or cowards when we don't launch a missile at North Korea for selling nuclear material to terrorists which is probably even worse action than terrorist camp.

    But that is a government of another country, I am talking about terrorist camps.

    If they are military training camps for that country, we don't target them, but any camp that we know is sponsoring terrorist organizations, no matter where they are located, we obliterate.

    Absolutely in those countries, but in the case of larger allies, we work with them, maybe allow them to take credit for blowing up the camps.

    NK never sold its nukes to anyone. That's some BS invented by the Bush administration as a fearmongering tactic.

    So what would you think if we sent our spies over and assassinated Falun Gong leaders and other anti-government activists (a.k.a traitors) living in America?

    Besides the fact that we have already eliminated the terrorist presence in Xinjiang (which for year the Americans were touting as a freedom fighting band until the guys ENDED UP IN AFGHANISTAN FIGHTING THE AMERICANS, but that's a story for another time), and that therefore there is no Al-Qaeda presence in our land, your statement is extremely hypocritical. The US hosts plenty of people who would like to overthrow foreign governments; what would you think if all of those foreign governments came calling to take out their enemies?

    To my knowledge, we don't have any training camps in other countries. I know there is a game sceduled to be played in Mexico City (Cowboys vs Redskins?) but all training camps are held in the United States.

    I'm not sure about lobbing cruise missles at them. How would that affect the preseason scedule?






    EDIT: Sorry, mis-read the thread title. Carry on.

    if any missiles gets in china, i see that as a declaration of war. the government will have the right to retaliate in any which way sees fit. dude, it's not funny launching missiles into other countries, even with permission. do you like your neighbor's dog **** in your yard just cuz the dog thinks there is something going on in your yard?

    When it is politically feasible we do attack terrorist camps. We have done so recently in places such as Yemen and Somalia.

    Whether you believe it or not, it is bullsh*t concocted by Bush. It is simply not true. You might be afraid of NK for several legitimate reasons, but selling nukes to terrorist groups is not one of them.
