During the debate last night did anyone else pick up on this quote from our Vice President?

"The biggest threat we faced today is the possibility of terrorists smuggling a nuclear weapon or a biological agent into one of our own cities and threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. "

I counted the "Nuke a US city" topic twice last night while watching the debate. Looking at the transcript this morning I see he mentioned it a total of three times. Here are the other two lines from Cheney.

I'm absolutely convinced that the threat we face now, the idea of a terrorist in the middle of one of our cities with a nuclear weapon, is very real and that we have to use extraordinary measures to deal with it.

Now we find ourselves in the midst of a conflict unlike any we've ever known, faced with the possibility that terrorists could smuggle a deadly biological agent or a nuclear weapon into the middle of one of our own cities.

Yes...I caught that as well. It seems to follow along with what TM has been saying for a while.

Call me a pessimist, but I believe it is a done deal.
