I wonder how long it’ll take for dems to realize that if the terrorists are going to use a nuke they’re going to target a city, such as NY...and the vast majority of democrat voters are in cities...such as NY. If the dems continue to ignore the truth it’s quite possible that their chances of winning any elections will be decreased once a city or two disappears. I hope it never happens, but as they say, it’s more a matter of when than if.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced it will donate radiation detectors to Mexico and help install them in busy seaports to prevent a terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon or "dirty bomb."

The Mexicans will love that. When they find nukes they can ask for really big bribes to allow the cargo to pass.

>> The defeatocrats fiddle while Rome burns.

The Romans didn’t have the Free Republic nor the Holiday Inn Express for that matter.

It still ticks me off that the Hollywierdos changed Clancy’s plot in the movie and made the terrorists “right winged extremists” instead of keeping the jihadis in the book.

A nuclear attack on the U.S. (by Iran) is not just a threat, but is very real and "on countdown" mode IMHO....it's only a matter of time and is very scary...this from the book "Epicenter" by Joel Rosenburg...

(Quote)"With Iran's countdown to the apocalypse, the stakes could not be higher.

Were Iran to smuggle nuclear bombs across the Mexican border, for instance, entire American cities would be vulnerable to cataclysmic terrorist attacks with little or no warning. Experts say the blast from a single ten kiloton nuclear bomb in Washington, DC, for example, would destroy everything within a half mile of ground zero, contaminate 3,000 to 5,000 square miles with toxic levels of radiation, and kill 300,000 people within a matter of minutes."(/Quote)

Mr. Rosenburg goes on to say...

(Quote)"With a similar bomb detonated in the heart of Times Square in New York City, a leading expert on nuclear terrorism says, "The blast would generate temperatures reaching into the tens of millions of degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting fireball and blast wave would instantaneously destroy the theater district, the New York Times building, Grand Central Terminal, and every other structure within a third of a mile of the point of detonation. On a normal workday, more than half a million people crowd the area within a half mile radius of Times Square. A noon detonation in midtown Manhattan could kill them all. Hundreds of thousands of others would die from collapsing buildings, fire, and fallout in the ensuing hours. The electromagnetic pulse generated by the blast would fry cell phones, radios, and other electronic communications.(/Quote)

I am very very afraid for the future of our children and grandchildren...
