"Really? I am alot more worried about biological weapons. Sure a nuke going off in DC or New York would be horrible, but you can't destory all of the USA with an experimental nuke program from a terrorist state."

Consider if this is a hiding place for nukes already obtained on the international blackmarket. Consider some possibilities of what a detonation of a former Soviet warhead in areas with troop concentrations might do at this time:

1. Destroy the core of American assault forces in Iraq.
2. In effect, destroy for some period of time American assault capapbilities world wide.
3. Kill millions of Iraqis.
4. From a propaganda angle, snatch victory from defeat for Islamic audiences.
5. Strike a crippling blow at the Great Satan America.
6. Potentially unify the entire Islamic fundamentalist region.
7. Re-energize the radical Left, the UN advocates, European weenies and all of the related globalists.
8. Demoralize our troops, citizens and allies.
9. Strengthen the media positions that are critical of Bush doctrine and unilateral actions.
10. From defeat, inflict a historic symbol of unparalleled meaning on America and create a mythos as large or larger than Saladin in Islamic minds.
11. On the basis of Saddam's 'heroism' the reality of several generations of Islamic jihadists would be instantaneously created.
12. Instead of dealing with remaining states from of position of authority and respect, Americans would lose all ground and need to deal with hostile throughout the region.
13. Stateside, the new Left in America would potentially gain the upper hand in public consciousness.
14. The Left would unify and present a probable shift in elections for 2004.
15. Conservative doctrines would be tainted and the inertia we now enjoy would dissapate.
16. If the Left regains power, all will be in peril for America and freedoms since the Left is now in an end-game mode for the socialism.

Well, that's just a few thoughts. Troops train for bio/chem warfare but there's nothing you can do about a nuke going off under your feet.

Would you rather have a nuke go off in NYC or have a ebola pandemic kill 200 million Americans? I was trying to say that the potential terrorist uses of biological weapons have the potential to kill alot more people than several pounds of illegal U or Pu.
