FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (Aug. 11, 2009) — In the event of a terrorist attack at Kansas Motor Speedway, the Missouri National Guard’s 7th Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team would likely be called to assist first responders. The unit spent a week recently training at the speedway alongside civil support teams from Kansas and Nebraska for Operation Rolling Thunder. “It was three days of very valuable joint training,” said Lt. Col. Raymond White, unit commander. “We worked in concert with the other teams and learned a lot.” After the field training began on the second day, the Missouri team was called in to backup the Kansas squad. Its task was to investigate an explosion that sprayed what was believed to be radioactive debris within the track’s infield, as well as a pair of labs inside a nearby restroom facility.

I don’t know. I’d rather these kinds of operations be kept close to the vest.

Interesting. Lots of activity around there.

In an odd coincidence, I seem to recall Qudaffi’s beleaguered translator speaking of ‘rolling thunder’. Anybody else recall that information?

Couple of things he said were correct.
