It won't happen the day after, just like a full scale nuclear attack between the US and the Soviets would have taken a month to play out.

I expect a week delay between a major attack on the US and our major response. Embasseys have to be evacuated. Ships have to be positioned. Supplies have to be moved.

One signal that we are about to do something BIG would be the movement and positioning of trains fully loaded with supplies and basic raw materials (chemicals, coal, fuel) being moved via rail to remote, rural locations. Ships and tankers would also be moved out of port. A lot of night time military air movements would be noticed and reported on various message boards like TB2K (members only!) and the like.

While I agree that it will not happen, the reason for it not happening on the day after 911 is that a WMD was not used a convential one was.

Correct me if I am wrong but we do not use nukes when hit by convential weapons only when hit with a WMD, and then a nuke is suppose to be the response. But like I stated in an earlier post it will most likely will not happen because it will be a terrorist organization hitting us not a country. A nuke will only be dropped if hit by a WMD and it can be tied to a country helping the terrorist out.
