"If I were President, I'd state out loud what will happen if a WMD attack occurs on American soil. That within hours, certain places will be destroyed."
I agree. Lets look for that in the State of the Union speech. Also, an attack that employed nuclear weapons of any kind would give Bush the green light by the majority of Americans to take out Iran's nuclear program pronto. I'm not suggesting (like some anti-Bush conspiracy types) that we would purposely allow an attack to happen but that we would seize on the opportunity that it presents.
Here are some more websites with interesting facts, etc..

Did anyone see the CBS 60 minute piece last night on the need for a stockpile of meds to combat radiation poisoning?
Call me paranoid, but I've had a bottle of potassium iodide handy since 9/11. You just never know.
I think he should come right out and give a warning during the speech:
"If you rag head bastards disrupt the Superbowl we are going to turn the Middle East into glass."
Yes. W needs to threaten them tomorrow with terrible losses if anything happens.
