I have economic and geopolitical concerns as well. My main concern is the fact that eventually the terrorists WILL get WMD. They will use them unless they are deterred. The terrorists can't be deterred by us. The only ones who can deter the terrorists are their Islamic supporters. Once deterrence fails and 5 million New Yorkers die America and the world has lost regardless as to how we respond post attack.

Yes,, no matter how strong or powerful our military is though, once those ( RAG HEADS ) get a WMD , your right, our deterrence is more or less muted, but not out of sight.
All I know is ? if those terrorist manage to get a WMD into one of our biggest cities, and set it off, ( and if our leaders and the US military can locate and find who did it ) then ? there will be HELL TO PAY .
I sure hope that our special forces in other countries who are working behind the scenes are putting a dent into the Terrorist machine.
We have heard of news, of plans or plots of the terrorist being foiled by our people ( just like in England a week ago ).
Let's hope and pray that our people and leaders can stop these terrorist, and have not gotten on the ball to late to stop them.

The RAO(Retaliatory Annihilation Option) is the only option that will keep the Islamocrazies in their cages. Not because there aren't those among them that wouldn't welcome Armageddon, but because the governments that support them directly or indirectly don't. We don't have to pre-annouce any targets, just the 'multiplier' principle - a WMD attack on one of our cities will result in five of their cities disappearing, etc. And say that no city or religious shrine will be spared - "You have been warned."
