The Bush supporters to whom RD is referring would be terrorists in the pay of Bush supporters, of course.

You want a real answer to that? You aren't going to like it.

Given gov't support (which, in E's interpretation, is implied) Bush's supporters. The US gov't has lots and lots of various forms of nuclear material an conventional explosives right here in the US of A. They've lost track of the stuff before. They could just "lose track of" some more and slip it to an outside group that then pretend to be terrorists and build and explode a bomb. This takes a conspiracy within the gov't. But it could be done.

Genuine terrorists, OTOH, have to get the materials, get them into the US, get them assembled and to the right place and exploded.

Remember, the US gov't insisted for DECADES that the Warren Report was right. Until it decided it wasn't. And now what happened in that incident in Dallas is murky. Gov't involvement is hardly impossible.

Think the US gov't doesn't engage in very shady things? How about those untreated syphilis experiments in the South? What about dosing people with radioactive materials without their knowledge or consent in the early '50s?
