JERUSALEM -- In the 1940s, the U.S. initiated the Manhattan Project, a fusion of scientific, industrial and organizational genius that helped win the war against the Axis powers. Today, the free world is again threatened by fanatics with weapons of mass destruction. To meet this threat, the U.S. should launch a new Manhattan Project to neutralize the threat of biological and chemical attack.

What the world needs is to be energy/oil independent. Without the oil money, the Arabs can go back to being camel jockeys, and we can just ignore them.

We need a "Manhatten Project" for energy independence!

Sadly a "Manhattan" project for defense against chemical & biological warfare will not happen for the simple reason that the politicians view "John Q. Citizen " as being to stupid to wipe,flush,& wash the hands in the proper sequence, something as complicated as taking care of a gas mask,making a sealed room at home & other basic precations are believed to be beyond the I.Q. of the majority of citizens by the elite in the government class.
Energy independence is another idea that will not happen till loved ones of the elite start having to go to funerals of loved ones killed in Islamofacist terror attacks. So ladies & gentlemen to put it in plain english YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!! Whether you live or die will depend on whether or not you decide to prepare for yourself & your loved ones or wait for some flunky outa Washington D.C. !
