If we lose in '08, it will only be a matter of time before it happens here.
I manage a fleet of concrete mixers, most are 12 cubic yard capacity. Allowing even a smaller 8 or 10 cubic yard sized drum its easy to load up 30,000-48,000lbs. of high explosives or Ammonium-nitrate. And the real beauty is they could coat the inside circumfrance with shot, rebar chunks and scrap iron, put a good foot layer of RDX over that and then shotcrete over that. It hardens and then could still have a token amount of concrete turning around to fool inspecttions.
It may possibly be detected by a sniffer but if its sealed under layers of a nonporus membrane like rubber or ashphalt and nothing escape vaporwise its concievable they can go anywhere undetected. This truck bomb would be equal to a tactical nuke.
I know exactly how to build this and I am fervently hoping our troops know it as well and will stop them in their tracks, it appears they will keep getting bigger explosives and its obvious they pray for nukes, we must negate that dream or in the future these terrorists will take out whole cities. There in Iraq and soon elsewhere.
