Nuke Mecca??

Is Raven’s Doctrine true after all??
From WorldNetDaily:
Writes Wheeler in his members-only column: “There has been a rumor floating in the Washington ether for some time now that George Bush has figured out what Sword of Damocles is suspended over Osama bin Laden’s head. It’s whispered among Capitol Hill staffers on the intel and armed services committees; White House NSC (National Security Council) members clam up tight if you begin to hint at it; and State Department neo-cons love to give their liberal counterparts cardiac arrhythmia by elliptically conversing about it in their presence.
“The whispers and hints and ellipses are getting louder now because the rumor explains the inexplicable: Why hasn’t there been a repeat of 9-11? How can it be that after this unimaginable tragedy and Osama’s constant threats of another, we have gone over three years without a single terrorist attack on American soil?”
Completely obliterating the terrorists’ holiest of holies, rendering what is for them the world’s most sacred spot a radioactive hole in the ground is retribution of biblical proportions – and those are the only proportions that will do the job.
“Osama would have laughed off such a threat, given his view that Americans are wussies who cut and run after a few losses, such as Lebanon in 1983 and Somalia in 1993. Part of Bush’s rationale for invading Afghanistan and Iraq – obviously never expressed publicly – was to convince Osama that his threat to nuke Mecca was real. Osama hates America just as much as ever, but he is laughing no more.”
Wheeler says bin Laden is “playing poker with a Texas cowboy holding the nuclear aces,” so there’s nothing al-Qaida could do that could come remotely close to risking obliterating Mecca.

I don’t think Mecca COULD be destroyed. Isn’t Allah the one who said “be” and created the universe without having to wait six days? Seems that the structure that OBL and friends who bow down to five times a day, will continue to stand unscathed. I mean, five years into the war on terror, Mecca still stands, untouched by ANY nuclear war-headed cruise-missiles from infidels.
