Venting some Radioactive Steam!

First item of business...You said "the Sudan Crater at the Nevada test site." That's spelled "Sedan" crater (like the car body style). Here it is (3 Megatons). "It is not a pimple on the surrounding geography." Pretty big zit for a "pimple." Look at the comparative size of the road next to its rim (Lower right-hand corner):

Next, we're not going out to blow holes in the desert...we're out to waste the terrorists hiding there, and that's a much different game. Can you say "Neutron Bomb?" Sure you can.

Yes I am a terrible typist. "Sedan" as you say.

The areal photograph looks very impressive but you have put no scale on the picture to show the actual diamer. Hint - the photo was taken from an altitude of about 1000 ft. If you stand on the rim of the crater - I have - and look out to the foothills of the mountains behind you will see that it is indeed a pimple on the landscape.

I'll take your word for it...I'm not planning a visit to the NTS until spring.

But...I still maintain that we aren't planning on continuing "Operation Ploughshare" in Afghanistan, which was the operation during which "Sedan" was dug. Really, planting a device 90 ft. underground is not optimal for suface destruction, we were just seeing if nukes would be a good way to move earth. An Edward Teller idea that was bad.

Besides, I doubt we'll be seeing devices in the megaton range being used, anyway. Smaller tactical are likely to be the order of the day, airdropped. Or anti-personnel devices like N-bombs.

Actually, the tone of my thread here was to just "vent some radioactive steam." I am not really advocating nuking the snot out of Afghanistan. That would be over the top, unless someone uncorks one in one of our harbor cities.

(Sorry about the tone in my earlier post. I got testy after having just mowed my lawn, and it gets bloody hot here.)

i'm sorry it took so long to respond. i was just talking to my cousin whose boyfriend died yesterday as a result of injuries from the attack. the deterrence advantage has apparently dried up, as evidenced on 9-11.

You posted twice in 2001, same post. Then you didn’t post again until 2009 when you returned with well prepared talking points on the birth certificate issue. You only post on the birth certificate threads. I smell something very fishy. You spend all that time trying to defend obama on bc threads? Why bother if you think he is legitimate.

Had to use a nuclear bunker-buster on that troll, he was burrowed in pretty deep:

But I think we got 'im.
