You are joking, right? The UN will cease to exist.

UN now is anti-American organization. Should US decide to leave UN, nobody would cry about it.

Israel will conquer the Mideast.


Israel had never wanted and never will conquer any country, although it has capabilities. Japan will become allied with South Korea and conquer the north. China will be defeated by Taiwan with US and Russian help.

Say what? Why?



I'll give you my scenario:
1.US in the economical crisis which is the deepest and most destructive in it's history.
2.World goes down together with US.
3.Islamic imperialists overthrow berely-holding ME governments in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan (!).
4.Iran engage in Iraq against US troops full-scale.
5.Pakistan attacks India with nuclear weapon. India responded.
6.Full scale oil blackmail of West on behalf of countries who's new governments support pan-Islamic war.
7.Democrats blame Bush for everything.
8.Homosexuals demand right to marry legally.

Enough?

The UN will cease to exist.

Ground Zero?

8.Homosexuals demand right to marry legally.

That's it, we're doomed.

She said the "raw material for nuclear terrorism is housed in hundreds of facilities in dozens of countries and inadequately secured."

Your statement (that you quoted) wasn't the only example of exaggeration. To make a bomb easily, you need enriched uranium, and that is not available all over the place. To make a plutonium bomb, you need a much more complicated device.

Maybe she's trying to sell a book.

[Centurion2000]

One could trigger a nuclear event just by pushing two sub critical masses together...then boom

Sorry, that's wrong. You'd get a criticality which would be like some C4 going off and a nice blue flash .... but not a BIG BOOM.

You need to explosively compress the mass into a supercriticality and feed it more neutrons.

[Centurion2000]

And dogs and cats living together ... MASS HYSTERIA

All right ENOUGH, I get the picture. What if you're wrong?

If I'm wrong, we go to jail, peacefully, quietly, we'll enjoy it. But if I'm right and we can stop this thing ? Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of REGISTERED VOTERS.

Good stuff, appreciated.

think Chernobyl, only 1000 times worse.

WHOA! I don't think that is true at ALL. Chernobyl was an exposed, huge nuclear core. No WAY would ground zero be "hotter" - it couldn't be. Most of the nuclear material would be blown away.

[RightWhale]

A trained nuclear engineer using material the size of an orange could build an atomic bomb to fit into a van, proliferation expert Laura Holgate said,

Oh? Proliferating something for sure.

[Doomonyou]

Most of the nuclear material would be blown away.

Where? I'm not sure which way the wind blows on the east coast, but anywhere but out to sea would afferct millions.

[PatrickHenry]

You gotta look at the bright side of things. The blast will likely go off in a blue state. Because of the catastrophic loss of life, they'll lose at least one House member after the following census. We'll solidify our control of Congress.

(Or maybe I've been freeping too long.}

[Shryke]

Not really. The blast itself not only turns a portion of the material into energy, but basically throws the rest of it all over the place, as particles. This would definitely have an effect on the biosphere, but remember that the core of a fission weapon is rather small. It's not that much hazardous material, spread out over thousands (maybe millions) of square miles. Higher cancer rates near ground zero, perhaps slight increases in outlying areas. We wouldn't have hordes of mutants, though. Chernobyl was entirely different. That sucker was irradiating steam and weather like crazy (IIRC).

[Shryke]

Hahahahaha! But wait! They'll blame GWB. Curses! Foiled again.

[cav68]

My view exactly, in my idea of a real attack this is what they would use as it can be delivered with a lot of noticeably instead of a loud noise and a quick reaction this can be dispersed by so many means which would go undetected until people began to fall over. More attention needs to be directed in this direction. Bump

9. Liberals wonder "why do they hate us?"

[clamper1797]

Don't forget all the many who will die in the retaliation
