No I'm not comforted by it. What you should worry about is not that they already have a bomb here, but that they might bring one here. It's six of one, half dozen of the other as far as I am concerned, because either way we are dead.

I can understand that.

And, I don't think their other options are benign by a long shot.

It's very well within the realm of possibility that al-Qaeda wouldn't want to set off just one nuke, because they know what our response would be. They'd probably consider it far more desirable to set off as many as possible at once, so as to completely demoralize the population and take away the will to fight.
