"One huge mistake people make is thinking that Muslims are some kind of third world idiots. They are not. I'm sure bin Laden has some brilliant Muslim scientists on the payroll and he has a HUGE amount to spend. He may even have some of the Russians on his payroll. His challenge would be two fold. Supplies to maintain the bombs and secrecy. Since we are still rebuilding our CIA and intell forces after being castrated by the left and Clinton, we don't have the best intell going these days. We got lucky on 9/11. That's right, lucky. We could have lost 40,000 on that day. Had the planes hit lower, our rescue people less adept at their jobs and it could have been much worse."

Sorry to be so late in acknowledging your comments. Very true, and it is extremely frightening. However, if we agree that the head honchos of World Terror, Inc. "aren't stupid," then they surely know that any attack like 9/11 on America, even if it's "conventional" and non-nuclear, will bring a devastating response.......perhaps along the lines of what poor Tom Tancredo was speculating about.

He was just on Hannity & Colmes in the last hour, and he was at pains to explain that he was "just speculating" on what he might consider doing "to save potentially millions of American lives." I can't say that I disagree, and it may be that Syria, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have already been put on notice through "back channels," that they must control the radicals whom they are still funding, or suffer catastrophic consequences from America. I have the feeling that one of the reasons for which we haven't been hit again is that such a message has already been delivered.

In that sense, we can perhaps count on the assumption that these loons aren't stupid.

We can only hope that we respond with devastation and utter mayham.
