North Dakota is also the site of one of our last 3 remaining ICBM fields. But, I don't expect all 3 to survive the Obama cuts in military forces and especially those in nuclear weapons.
One missile site is only a couple of miles from the Canadian border. The base, Minot, is about 42 miles from the border. You'll recall that several of the 9-11 hijackers came in from Canada. They could easily implant IEDs and/or ambush crews headed out to or back from the launch control facilities.
Exactly, El Gato. I was wondering if someone was going to mention the ICBM site in Minot. Given it’s know terrorists have entered through Canada (and the border is for all intents and purposes non-existent up there, given there’s a few thousand miles of virtually undefended border) — it’s a ‘low tech’ thing that a well trained cell could do.
Santorum did serve on the Senate Armed Services committee and presumably he had access to a few things the average freeper doesn’t.
