You said -- "He knew his business when talking about nuclear triggers."
Well..., I wouldn't be the one to say. However, they were talking about stuff that apparently made some sense to a small group of people. I just wasn't in that small group. What do I know about nuclear triggers?
BUT, I do know that nuclear bombs make a *big boom*. And that's all I need to know in order to make sure that they are kept out of the terrorists hands.
