I heard Carl Cameron on Fox News tell Brit Hume that there is good information from Argentina that nuclear material was smuggled through Bogata, Colombia and then across the Mexican border into the US. He said the most troublesome information has been gathered within the last 48 hours. I expect a 'dirty bomb' incident within the next 72 hours. Where will it be and what will you do? Weather patterns in the US generally move west to east. Get on the west side of any incident asap?

I'd expect a dirty bomb in LA or Dallas. Maybe somewhere in AZ. All close to Mexico border. Since I live in Dallas, it makes my knees weak thinking about it.

I am going to opening night of the NBA, Laker game. I will certainly be keeping my eyes out...for middle-easternmen men and hot babes in Jerry Buss' box.

I am hoping this is not the 'dirty nuke' event planned. Back in a few hours!...

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Well, if it happens in NYC, I would think Southern New England (where I live) would be affected (as well as NYC, of course). But I guess it all depends on the prevailing winds at the time.

Let's hope it's a dirty bomb, and not a dirty nuke. From what I've read here at FR, a dirty nuke does damage in its own right, but ALSO disperses radioactive material. This would seem to be a far more serious weapon than a regular dirty bomb (e.g., one detonated with conventional explosives).

So do I, I'm afraid, and I live in NYC. Worse, so do my kids.

We need to kill these people. If this thing goes off, we need to end the war with all of our enemies in a day.

so besides moving west? What else can one do? I know you guys and gals are a wealth of info...any websites or articles for this one?

and then across the Mexican border into the US.

So then where, LA, Denver, Vegas? Where do you make a big splash without dragging it across the whole country?

I literally have the Pacific Ocean at my back door. Oregon Central Coast perfect!

Weather patterns in the US generally move west to east.

I am 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Not much further west from here, although I have some friends who are only a few blocks from the beach.

"Where will it be and what will you do?"

It doesn't matter to me what anyone except George W. Bush does.
If an explosive device utilizing any type of nuclear material is detonated in this country, I expect...no, DEMAND a swift and severe nuclear response visited upon those responsible.

"Get on the west side of any incident asap"

I'm as far west as I can get without getting wet. I wonder if L.A. is what they meant by "south". We are experiencing a mild storm. I don't think now would be a good time for a bomb. Earlier today would have been good - very, very windy!!

Funny thing - we have a nuke plant just up the street from San Diego - extra helicopters up and down the beach today. Hmmmmm?? I heard they have ordered nuke plants a "no-fly" zone.

I'm so glad I know Jesus! I don't have to be afraid. Read Psalm 91 - it will soothe you!!

If these terrorist dare set of a dirty bomb then they will see their own countries devasted with the REAL thing (Nuclear Bomb).

This could very well be the begining of WWIII.

PRAY HARD!
