Nuclear Threat within US Possible (My Title)

" I don't want mine to live through it either, but there are over a billion of those people. This war has been going on for 13 centuries, and, if we're still around, I'll buy you a beer if it is over in the next 13 centuries. "

Just a beer?....We'll trade rounds :)

Honestly I think nuclear is the only way to end this and end it now.........though I'm sure many will disagree.....and I'd like to be wrong the idea of nukes scares me too

I'm with you on the fear of nukes. But, I have to tell a story. Last October--exactly one year ago, in fact--I wrote a post about the Cole. I had made fun of all the nuke-em-until-they-glow crowd, but had reconsidered. I basically reached the nihilist position by then--that there is no solution. I posted that we should turn the entire area into glass. I was excoriated. "Friends" accused me of advocating genocide, would no longer reply to posts, insisted that I leave FR and not post again, etc. I stayed away from FR for 3-4 weeks.

But, of course, I wasn't advocating genocide. When you have children who will not stop fighting over a toy, you take it away from them. My position was/is: give a warning, allow all the people to disperse, then make all the holy sites uninhabitable. I stated at the time that if we did NOT do this, we would have a world war. Sorry to say, it looks like I will be owed some beers, here. You may have one of them:).

Hi, Jammer. There still are not any articles about this, although FOX News keeps the info on its news scroller at the bottom of the screen.

But there is some interesting commentary in this newer messagethread about this:

I'm a newcomer to this message thread. Having read most of the 250+ messages here, there is (yet again) some information that I have not seen distributed to the public. It's the fairly obvious timetable of terrorist events leading up to (and continuing forward from, IMHO) the WTC horrors of 9/11. It is, as follows.

Feb. 26, 1993 - WTC Building 2 takes a bomb probably intended to fell the building.
5½ years later
Aug. 7, 1998 - Bombing of the USS Cole, intended to sink it.
2 years and 2 months later
Oct. 25, 2000 - Simultaneous bombings of US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
11 months later
Sept. 11, 2001 - WTC and Pentagon bombed by airplanes. One plane in 4 failed to hit the target.
(What's the next timeline? Keep cutting the time in half.. so that's maybe 6 months..)

What happens in THIS COUNRTY approximately 6 months after 9/11? That's the OLYMPICS my friends. In February. If that's not a very sweet target for a terrorist attack, I don't know what is. Even if the target is not the Olympics per se, security is going to be so concentrated there that other places may be somewhat lax during those weeks.

This would be why there has not been another attack even with the US military pounding on Afghanistan the way they have. There have been many posts here and elsewhere along the "if they had it they would have used it" variety. Personally, I don't like waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's no way to live.
