"Would someone please explain what they think is so goofy about his assertion."

Read my posts on this thread.

There is no intelligence in the public domain that would suggest terrorists would attack this proposed pipeline, the ND oil fields or any other production facility.

All the available intelligence suggests they will go after population centers...even if that happens to be a refinery or a nuke plant.

This is nothing but bizarre conjecture on Santorum's part and it shows he will NOT play well in a general election.

Up to this point I though he had a fair chance at the GOP nomination. Now I am convinced he will NOT be the nominee.

Thankfully.

But if Newt warns of an EMP attack, which doesn’t kill anyone, then that’s thoughtful and profound. OK...

Any other production facility? I beg to differ. Some have been targets before.

The Daniel Lewis event wasn't terrorism, just a drunken fool. But examples on other facilities exist as well.

Thank you, Mariner. Even if I don’t quite agree with your position on this point, I do appreciate your civil response.
