Just a neat little nuke strike, no collateral damage, no problem, eh?

And nukes are so easily controlled!!! Why, you can program them to take out only 50'x100'x 10' plots, just marvelous these days with all those electronic gizmos, just like in the Terminator movies!!!

Kewl, man.

It's Bush's bet that the HOS goes down first--why do you think we placed 160K troops next door?

And just how are the AlQ guys gonna bring the nuke to NYC? By taxi? Speedboat?

Occurred to you that detonating a nuke might take more than a cigarette lighter?

Might be interesting to do so. He was an eye opener. I'd never heard of him before.

Occurred to you that you have no idea of what they may have, what size it may be, and how easy it may be to detonate or get here? Best to stop potential transfers of the weapon at the earliest links in the chain by any means necessary.

and then you want to deny it? the russians and the chinese would "out" us immediately. you could probably sneak one in there with a cruise missile.

Nukes have defined shapes and sizes, and the CIA knows ALL of those combinations.

They're not coming in by first-class air.

I suppose they could use the Mexican border...

As to detonations--who's giving them the codes?

Who's saying that the bombs they have need codes? If al Qaeda-sympathetic Pakistani scientists built the stupid things, codes are likely no impediment to their detonation.
