The interesting part was the description of the US economy as one giant .com, they're pretty observant. They don't need nukes to bring us donw. They can do it using our own financial system. 1. buy puts (lots of them) 2. create a terrorist incident 3. sell puts and make lots of $$$ 4. buy more bombs or microbes 5. go back to 1. Eventually we catch on, lose faith in financial system. Economy colapses. Scary part is I can't think of a way to avoid this if they decided to take this approach. mdb

Sorry, but this smells like complete and utter Bull$hit "Al-Usuquf says that the bombs cannot be detected by US authorities. "Even if they are old, they were modernized and are very well hidden. Even if they were located, they have autodetonation mechanisms in case something or someone gets close. Even an electromagnetic pulse is not capable of deactivating them." The bombs allegedly cannot be detected because "they are enveloped in thick layers of lead". They could be detonated "by various methods - cellphone call, radio frequency, seismic shock or by their regressive clock". I see they forgot to mention that the Green Goblin and Lex Luthar were implementing huge under ground bases filled with 9ft tall Robotic soldiers who would march into the devastated areas and capture any surviving humans - forcing them too clean up the mess and work in orange juice factories.... Question....So why hasn't it happened already? What a load of utter $hit.
