A Colorado congressman told a radio show host that the U.S. could "take out" Islamic holy sites if Muslim fundamentalist terrorists attacked the country with nuclear weapons.

"Well, what if you said something like -- if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites," Tancredo answered.

"You're talking about bombing Mecca," Campbell said.

"Yeah," Tancredo responded.

"What is near and dear to them? They're willing to sacrifice everything in this world for the next one. What is the pressure point that would deter them from their murderous impulses?" he said.

There you have Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo of Littleton, Colorado. Best known for its school shootings..

If the United States is attacked with any WMD, and I don't care if it's Osama's fart - nuke MECCA. This dude has it right - they want a holy war, let's start a holy war - and kick the crap out of the unholy.

Damn this is a good idea.
