I agree. Doesn't mean they aren't trying to get nukes in here -- but building a nuke is harder than it sounds on the drudgereport, methinks ...

I agree that NUKES are a bluff (NOW but probably not in two years). But what about a conventional weapon blowing up the Mall of America? Sears Tower? Does not have to be the whole building (just a single store would probably suffice to scare the shit out of everyone). I do not think a NUKE per say is feasible now, but I do think a "dirty bomb" with radioactive waste is. Warren Buffet has gone on record as saying it is only a matter of time. I agree. Now when and where is another story. But I am 99% positive it will come within a year. Heaven help me if I am correct cause some moron will see this post and think I know something. Guess I just agree with Buffett that it is a matter of time. We will see (or live in fear) or both. In the meantime I am positive that blowing up the Mall of America is damn bullish news so JBC. M

Sooner or later someone will set off a nuclear bomb either in lower Manhattan or between the Capitol and the White House, unless very serious security precautions are taken. Or it could be in San Francisco. Warren Buffet thinks somewhat the same thing and thinks it will be the end of the entire insurance industry. Is your argument that because it has not happened it won't happen? EDIT: I see you already replied to all this in advance. I was just getting caught up.
