A 14 year old could generate this WMV no problemo.

Bingo! Exactly what I've been saying all along.

Yet, ya gotta admit..it's sure got a lot of us pretty worked up.

Me..I think it was put together by a teenager in Idaho (metaphor, but you know where I'm going w/that).

Now, on the other hand, there ARE lots of things that seem more worrisome than the "end US" hell video. Like, the info that the UK is deploying hundreds of nuke decontamination units and portable radiation detectors (Debka, last night. Will research the source in a bit). THIS scares me.

An old expression I often try to live by..

Watch what they do, not what they say.

In this case, watching what they (UK) is doing belies the REAL threat, and that is far more scary than some "video" that a teenager probably put together on their PC in 20 minutes or so from old movie clips like "Deep Impact".

Hmmmm..

From DEBKA: "Britain issues radiation detectors to ambulance and hospital staff in case they are called to treat “dirty bomb” victims. Among other anti-terror measures, 360 mobile decontamination units dispersed around country."

I wonder if the threat is not limited to "dirty bombs". Rad detectors would be appropriate for suitcase nuke threat as well, I'd imagine.

I've often wondered if the "official" line we get about seeing NEST deployed, etc has to do with calming the sheeples - and the real threat IS suitcase or tactical nukes. Guess it would be a pretty good cover to say "we're taking measures to prevent/respond to a dirty bomb attack".

Guess we will never know until something happens, but this one concerns me quite a bit.

Pre 9-11, many of us would probably have found a threat about demolishing the WTC with airplanes pretty unlikely. So, it's kinda hard to write off suitcase nukes (which there is PLENTY of evidence for from Lebed and so many other sources).

Once 2/4 comes and goes, I'm going to TRY to be done worrying about what they can and can't do, since I'm 100% convinced they will use them "between the Eids" if they have them. Of course, I thought that about SOTU as well, and nothing happened. Hmmmm...
