One of the many fears I have is that the reason the Taliban keeps yelling about a ground war is because they want to use a nuke on them. {sigh}

You're running a little ahead of the script here.

Besides, I don't think America will have to lose 'a few million' to get serious about waging effective, ruthless, and overwhelming war.

It will come soon enough, even for your taste.

Why not attack Israel ?

Because Israel has some nukes too and won't hesitate to use them. America does hesitate right now, which is terrible. Nukes away!!!

They could deliver via a container --- to Los Angeles or New york.

Not much gets checked here in Los Angels--- see this

ID System for Port Workers Considered (Los Angeles California )

The container could even be personally attended - perhaps this was an experiment:

Egyptian terror suspect had satellite telephone, fake ID (Hid In Container)

See post #33, --- we would be trouble here by the beach if a container had a nasty device within!

#1 I think you overestimate the Islamic rage. While many are not happy with the war only a small percentage of the nutcases are willing to die for the cause of Osama

Um, what does a small percentage of a billion people translate into?

the very knowledge Kabul has weapons-grade nuclear material could deter US bombing as Washington would have to fear a terrorist strike that could leave nuclear contaminants

I think their summation is in error. Their logic is bad. This fact would cause the U.S. to increase its efforts, no appeasement like what they suggest would bring any measure of safety at all -- the only safety is in their complete and swift destruction.

A tramp steamer with a few metal cargo containers is good enough to destroy a large harbor. Norfork, Virginia is a mighty big and tempting target.

They just caught one Islamic bozo with an onboard container set up to carry him to Toronto in comfort. Had a laptop, three cellphones, one of which was a satellite phone, etc. Looked like he was ready to hide in the cargo hold all the way.

If a dirty nuke were set off on a ship, located near Montreal, during the proper wind conditions, much of the east coast of the US would get a radioactive dusting.

I hope they searched every container on that ship.
