Is there any possibility this WOULDN'T happen?
But suppose the devices were sold or went missing when the Soviet Union broke up? We celebrated their liberation from communism then, so do we now blame them for a device falling into the terrorists hands? It was a complete breakdown of their systems and checks and balances including the storage of said nuclear devices.
We won't. There are so many idiots, many on this board in fact, that would rather die than admit they were wrong about who we let into this country. I do not need to use the names of the typical idiots who we all know and have had the wonderful opportunity to debate.
The no rad site is not working, all operators are busy too, something is definitely going down.
The red zones will survive.
BUMP
A dirty bomb would be very disruptive and much easier to actually pull off. A Beslan type take over of a school or something to that effect using simple firearms is the most likely scenario.
While I think it is important to have respect for your enemy, I think this nuke deal is blown way out of proportion. How much do you know about nuclear weapons? I know I don't know sh*t. However, the people that I have listened to, who are knowledgeable, are very skeptical of terrorists being able to bring nukes into and detonating them in this country. IMO it would take skills equating to a Western SpecOP group to conduct such a feat. I have seen nothing of terrorist operations that equate to such skill.
The 9/11 attacks took a lot of luck on the terrorists' part and a special kind of incompetence on the US's part, a legacy of eight years of Clintonian neglect.
Terrorists do not have the same soft target today that they had in 2001. Moreover, much of the top terrorist leadership, the corporate knowledge behind 9/11, has been killed or captured. The remainder is surely finding it hard to plan and execute grand attacks on the level of a 9/11 or greater when it is spending much of its time running hiding from US special ops by shuttling between a series of caves and safe houses in the rugged far reaches of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Doom and gloomers tend to wildly exaggerate the al Qaeda's resources and abilities and to underestimate our own. On balance though, I would rather that we be hypervigilent.
That type of thing would would probably get people more up in arms than a nuclear blast.
The bottom line is that we should get all these people out here immediately, no excuses, no bs, no protracted hearings. If they are here illegally, OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
We are in 100% agreement on your thoughts regarding the sites mentioned. Their pain will be so much worse than ours that Islam will be dealt a horrible and deserved blow.
the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Actually, you know what might be an interesting exercise would be to count and publicize the number of mosques that would be destroyed by an attack of this type. Also the approximate number of Korans that might be destroyed in each mosque. Of course, you can do a count of the actual muslims that would die, but since they'd be chalked up as martyrs, not much disincentive there. But harm a mosque or a copy of the Koran and they tend to actually give a damn.
Huh. I just now clicked it and got right through. Must have been timing. Anyway, do a google search, as many, MANY companies carry both of these brands. Also check http://www.ki4u.com for a lot of detailed information.
They just keep popping in my head. Its truly astonishing to consider that anybody would prefer a John Kerry to a John Wayne or Rosie the Riviter to Rosie O'Donnell.
The Feminiaztion of our society needs to end now. Boys need to look up to REAL MEN, not these sissy panzie patsie wimpy girlish primped idiots like Kerry, Kennedy, Dean, Timberlake, etc etc.
Give me a Stone Cold Steve Austin, Black Jack Pershing, Rickson Gracie, type any day of the week.

There are many people who think the United states will never have a major calaminty because..well.. we are the United States.
Its time to stop that thinking because history tells us Shiite will happen.
Obviously, you have never used Sears catalog pages, newspapers or even leaves from trees for your personal hygiene. Been there, done that, but not anxious to repeat those abrasive experiences. I store a modest supply of Charmin just in case. However, if the A bombs start going off, Charmin is the least of our worries.
I love it when some one understands!
However, it was more than just the Clinton years. I would call it "Clinton and Carter years type of mentality", and it really got rolling in the 1960's.
Some may not like it, but I compare 9/11 with a bunch of 13 year olds taking lunch money from kindergarten students. Were the hijackers and planners real men of genius? No. Genius can be a comparative term. Those 13 year olds I just alluded to could be smart enough to outwit 6 year olds, and take advantage of their naivete. Now, the problem is that too many Americans, mostly liberals, have yet to leave kindergarten. If we (Americans) were to collectively grow up, then the chances for another successful terrorist attack of a large scale diminishes greatly...
