I think there is a lot of disinformation flying around designed to scare and confuse. Stay behind the President!

That's why we need to launch a pre-emptive first strike and annihilate the terrorist states (or as Reuters would call them "freedom fighting states").

Newsweek's Howard Fineman

Look no further; Fineman is a lefty rabble-rouser, a confirmed pathological liar, Bush-hater, commie lover, muck-raker and all-around dipsh*t.

Any nuke attack would be met with nukes all over afghanistan- Iraq, and maybe even Syria, Libya, and Eygpt. In fact I think we would have too. I don't think any but a fringe would object. After that- massive invasion of what remains in conjuction with Russia and give the chinese a cut as well. Pour in the missionaries and like the days of old- give food to only those who renounce Allah and Muhammed in public and convert. Radical? Sounds so- but if a nuke goes off in Boston or Chicago- I suspect 98 percent of America would agree to such thinking.

To quote Margaret Thatcher- "Now is no time to get wobbley" Folks support our President and America.

Chemical weapons are possible. Biological weapons aren't. If bin Laden had working nukes or radiological devices (fizzly old xSoviet nukes), he would have used them on Sept. 11.

This article can't be right.

If Bush were warned "privately" how the heck does this reporter claim to know?

More of Clinton's legacy. These terrorists have had ample opportunity to build their infrastructure within the United States while Clinton gutted the CIA, desenfranchised the NSA and corrupted the FBI, all the while opening our borders to anyone with the will to sneak in. Our intelligence community and our law enforcement agencies are busy playing catch-up ball at this point... doing those things today which are more reactive than pre-emptive, thanks to Clinton's revulsion of law enforcement and national security organizations. Pray God that He will provide our intelligence community and law enforcement organizations the wisdom, will and discernment to prevent more deaths.

There was someone---I believe an Administration official---on the Sunday talk shows who candidly stated that resort to a weapon of mass destruction by the Jihadists would be met by nuclear retaliation---no ifs, ands, or buts. Was it Rumsfeld? Did anyone else see and hear what I'm talking about?

The president's warning included the phrase "chemical, biological and plutonium - meaning the possibility of even nuclear terrorism," the Newsweek reporter said.

I wouldn't doubt a nuclear threat. But, from the first part of the statement, "nuclear terrorism" may have been erroneously drawn from "plutonium"... as in plutonium poisoning: no explosion, but plutonium particles released into the air. I don't remember all the specifics of plutonium poisoning, but it would be plenty bad.
