Maybe Chertoff is a silent partner of WorldNetDaily(joke). I agree the possibility of a chemical attack may not be any greater than the anthrax letters but we, the public, have confirming the odds. We also don't know if the possibility of a nuclear attack is any less or greater than other threats. I'm sure there are posters more knowledgeable regarding nuclear suitcase bombs than you or I. It may very well be missing something,but I can't help but wonder how those posters would have more knowledge if terrorists are planning to use nuclear suitcase bombs more than the head of Homeland Security?

Keep in mind the terrorists defied the odds on 9/11/01. I doubt anyone know automatically discounts terrorists using planes as WMD's. We shouldn't rule out nuking Mecca if terrorists employ a nuke attack against the U.S.

I knew it! I KNEW it!!! (LOL)

True enough. I suspect that if any one of us were getting the President's morning intel briefings and threat assessments, we would all be either totally grey-haired, or bald from pulling our hair out.

There is one poster, and I cannot recall his posting handle right now, but in a recent thread on this subject, he definitely had it nailed down tight, knew all about the elements used inside those "suitcase" devices (that are much larger than any damn suitcase), perhaps someone else might remember that FReeper?

Well I don't think it 's a question of "knowing", rather more of having the knowledge to know that the technical obstacles to detonating a nuke are greater than that of some other form of attack. Personally, I think that there would be more sheer "terror" invoked by a biological attack than anything else. Think Stephen King's "The Stand", if you know what I mean?

I disagree. On 9/11, al Qaeda was able to exploit security loopholes in our air transportation system, based on (IMHO) two major events:

- Al Gore's vaunted "commission" on airline safety, whose recommendations were totally watered down after the airline lobbyists pumped a pile of cash into the DNC. Gore's initial security recommendations would very likely have prevented the 19 hijackers from ever getting on board, IF they had been implemented.

- Noneother than Senator John F'in Kerry himself was informed in the spring of 2001 by two retired FAA security professionals that Logan Airport in Boston was a terrorist attack just waiting to happen. Kerry generally couldn't be bothered to follow up with it, and those FAA guys were basically told to "go away and don't bother us". Investigative reporter Paul Sperry went into great detail about this, but naturally the lamestream media chose to ignore it(note- if you haven't heard of this before folks, it should be a MUST read):

I agree that if there is a WMD attack on U.S. soil, that every holy site in Islam be wiped from the face of the Earth. Islam is not a religion. It is a satanic death cult masquerading as a religion, it is comparable to Nazism and Communism, with the sole difference being that in place of pseudo-sophisticated social theories, a facade of divinity is what has been used to delude literally billions of people into doing the Devil's work for him.

That's my rant for this hour. LOL
