SNIPPET: "South African police say they have arrested four men in the capital, Pretoria, for attempting to sell what they describe as an industrial nuclear device to undercover officers.

The men - all South Africans - were arrested Friday at a Pretoria gas station, where they attempted to sell the device for about $6 million.

Police say Interpol was also involved in the operation."

A luminous watch dial can be a "nuclear device."

What exactly is an “industrial nuclear device”?

Its the typical off the shelf 100 megaton thermonuclear device that the oil industry routinely uses to seal off rogue oil leaks.

I always thought the old colloquial term “nuclear device,” meant a fission bomb. Now, it means a plain old bomb “enhanced” with radiation. There is a MAJOR difference between the two.

LOL! If Bill Clinton had his way...

Well loggers to help characterize rock strata use Cs-137. Every couple years one wanders off in NM and has to be found. Not that you could make any kind of truly dangerous device with it.

These four are utter idiots, al Qaeda and Bin Laden would have bought this thing in a heartbeat for $6 million .... =.=

Allegedly 11 nuclear weapons are missing from the U.S. military.

Sooner or later Islamic and/or Leftist terrorists are gonna get hold of a nuke and blow up a major American city.

Then the poop really hits the fan.

Can you say, “WW III?”

I don't think there would be retaliation from the current administration. They would be all asking “what did we do wrong for the oppressed people of the earth to do this to us?” “What must we do to appease them?” and “Why did the bomb San Francisco, when San Francisco voted for Obama?

Or, more likely, “It was those evil white, “Constitutionalists” domestic terrorists! We must stop terroristic talk radio and control the Internet!”

[Ronbo1948]

I doubt it!

This country is on the fast track for civil war thanks to the Obama Regime that has divided the country into two large warring camps, and all that is needed for the volcano to blow is “The Pearl Harbor Moment” that could be a terrorist attack, economic collapse, or Iran/North Korea launching a nuclear blitz.

I say the Obama Marxist gets his wet dream of revolution, but the outcome will not favor him or the Left & Islam.

Word to the wise: buy gold, guns and food.
