Paul Williams LIVE on Savage Nation: Al Qaida Nukes in America?

. . . . we should be taking care of the borders. At the very, very least.


Why is this so difficult for everyone to understand? It almost seems like the govt. is conceding the next attack when it happens. I suppose everyone who supports Bush will defend him to the bitter end, when our undermined security produces a catastrophe. Why is Tancredo the only one speaking up? Williams said last night that numerous extremist mosques prohibit entry and list legal organizations to contact in the event of infiltration. American lawyers defending the enemy against the will of the average American. The politicians continue to fiddle. I'm going to be sick.

Thanks for posting the link to information about suitcase nukes. I was in my car driving to the grocery store when that guy called Savage claiming "even small nukes weight at least 1,000 lbs." I was laughing my @ss off. Could not believe that Savage was letting him get away with saying that garbage. You ought to email savage that link.

I guess you are not up to date on new developments in nuclear physics -- at least you have not seen this recent report (scroll down):

Sorry, I must apologize for my sarcastic tone. Please forgive me.

Backpack nukes and suitcase nukes have been a tragic reality since the 1980s. I found this information posted On This Site

"One suspects a little exaggeration and grandstanding going on. The darned book hasn't been published, and people are already criticizing it."

Paul Williams wrote a book on the EXACT SAME SUBJECT last year.

I once heard a speaker at a roast say "I'll try not to repeat myself, as that would make me a plagirist with bad taste..."

Source?

This book doesn't come out until September.

Are you a friend of the author who received an early copy?

A very good friend of mine stutters a bit.

What is your problem on this issue?

[Neoliberalnot]

It would not surprise me in the least if it is true. I think the next attack will be something really big because, the AQ/muslim network has been very successful in
dividing our population against each other (ie liberals hate our military, our president, and the war against terrorism) and against the government. The libs and much of the mainstream media has fallen into the hands of terrorist influence--hard to believe they could be that stupid, but I think it has happened. Anyway, if there are several smaller terrorists attacks, this will only serve to unite the population and support for the war. Hence, this is why I think it will be a very big event, killing thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Many people would subsequently be demoralized and ready to capitulate to terrorist demands just as we saw in Spain recently, and Japan at the end of WWII. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Are not the materials transported in sealed containers preventing air oxidation? I understand that the fissionable material does have a limited shelf-life, but we have had nukes in underground silos here in the midwest for decades. If the half-life is so short, then how often must we replace the components in our own nuclear arsenal?

[Neoliberalnot]

It is logical, but it violates the liberal PC code of understanding, compassion, and sensitivity, and might even require future reparations (sarc). I can guarantee, if it happens the ACLU scammers will eat their young.

I caught Mr. Williams on Savage last nite. Provided some insightful facts. Savage is at the top of his game.......

Hey, so do I!

I will just hope the statement was meant that he was stammering, like he was unsure of what to say or something.

I'm sure most people are beyond mocking stuttering, just as they wouldn't mock someone with any other impediment.

[nfldgirl]

Uhm...the book is not yet in print, doesn't hit the book stands until September.

I could be mistaken, but didn't they say the book wouldn't be available until September 2006?

[underwiredsupport]

Correct, not yet in print. As for his stuttering or stammering that some posters are mocking, I'll take a stuttering stammering civilian over a glib-tongued smooth talking politician or media pro any day! FR excels in the systematic execution of any messenger, who questions the Bush Border Policy. IMO

Slick Willie comes to mind. Boy, he sure could talk! After awhile, I was so sick of listening to him that whenever he came on the tube, I would immediately change the channel. There's nobody in this world more enamored with hearing himself than Bill Clinton. Was true "then" ('92 campaign)...all through his presidency...and still today.

That is such a non-issue.

[RightWhale]

I will just hope

That's better than the other.

The fool is lying, it makes him stutter.

We're not talking about iron, which rusts even inside of shipping containers; uranium and plutonium oxidize faster than any other substance.

We have nuclear missiles in underground silos and in Boomer silos at sea; maintenance for trigger components ranges from 6 weeks to some 3 months; pits and cores, some time longer; electronics and wiring some time shorter than for the pits and cores; conventional explosives for these devices require some similar time-frame maintenance.

It's a constant repair/replacement cycle.

"Backpack nukes and suitcase nukes have been a tragic reality since the 1980s. I found this information posted On This Site"

I'm not saying that such devices are mythical. I'm simply pointing out that such devices require professional, expensive, highly advanced maintenance...constantly...in order to be anything more than a primitive dirty bomb.

Atomic weapons are not like stable gold bricks that you can store in a safe for centuries and still have something in good condition when you open them up again later.

And the *smaller* the atomic weapon, the faster the maintenance cycle...i.e. the more work is required.

There are ways to reduce this maintenance in very large weapons, but these tricks diminish as the size of the device is shrunk. So for the smallest of nukes, the required maintenance is constant.

Oh, I'm also pointing out that *some* of the fear-mongering "backpack nuke" websites are clueless about the required minimum amount of fissionable material and the Physics involved re: critical versus super-critical chain reactions.

[Neoliberalnot]

Thanks for the helpful information. IF we look at all the possible WMDs to be used by terrorist, the biological weapon remains, the cheapest, and technically, probably the easiest to deliver. The sustained effect of releasing an infectious agent on the human or livestock (ie food animal) population would be much easier and perhaps just as devastating.
