Radiological attack: 'Manhattan would be uninhabitable for years'

You have to wonder about the motivations of some of these reporters. Why give the murdering bastards new ideas? I have thought of numerous ways that one might consider attacking an urban population for the purpose of inspiring terror. I would never post any of these scenarios to a public forum, much less write an article on the subject. Fear mongers add no value to the discourse. They merely stir the rancid pot of terrorist stew in the vain hope of earning a moment of notoriety, their brief fifteen minutes of fame.

Exactly what I was thinking. The same reporters would probably agree the help the murdering baldwins if they could write a big story about the event.

Manhattan was uninhabitable for the four years of the Dinkins administration!!!

[hellinahandcart]

Those four years were the ONLY time I seriously considered leaving the city. Yeesh. Talk about malaise, we were hip-deep in it from '89 to 93'...

If human history plays out, someone, somewhere, has a stunning idea on how to combat radiation. It will be similar in importance to anti-biotics.

Let's hope that the government hasn't taxed away this person's property.

Just like Hiroshima.

Manhattan uninhabitable for years, Mecca uninhabitable for CENTURIES. Simple.

Three months ago – long before last week's debacle was even a glimmer in Attorney General John Ashcroft's eye –

It only took to the first sentence of the third paragraph before I realized there was no point to reading this article.

Like we used to say in my neighborhood, "If you're gonna talk s**t, make it believable".

size of a cod liver oil pill

um, what?

[BrooklynGOP]

We need to send a message to Saudi Arabia that if anything like that happens, we will invade, charge muslims admission $ to do their pilgrimage to Mecca and sell their oil to pay for any damages due to terrorism. .

[FightThePower!]

Interesting that people still live in Hiroshima.
