"If we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?" asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a Republican.
I got news for you NEWT if a nuclear hit occurs the current situation will look like a picnic
The best way to prepare for a NUKE is to PREVENT it by going afer the terrorists where they live

The towers and the Pentagon were, what, 4 acres??? There really is NO comparison to 9/11. My recollection is that the WTC site was 16 acres. Plus there were adjacent buildings that were damaged.
However, a major difference is that after 9/11, the dead were dead and the living were pretty much OK. Recall that the hospitals had their emergency teams waiting outside to receive the wounded on 9/11. They had very little to do. The rush to give blood resulted in only a suplus.
In New Orleans we have a large number dead (which seems to be some kind of Soviet-era State Secret), a very large number of sick and injured, and a much greater number of displaced refugees.

We're NOT. I know ... this has been my life's work for the last three years. As a nation, we're NOT ready for a WMD attack. Not at all.
