C2, it is funny that poor old Saddam, who wasn't AlQ's favourite guy, was deposed by the COW, but Pakistan's noocular weapons of mass destruction merchants of death have been selling service, if not actual noocular bombs, to Korea, Libya, Iran, Syria, Chechnya and Afghanistan's opium delivery agents who packed a couple into opium, hidden inside a regular shipment of dates or something. "Gulp" is a reasonable response. Disarming Pakistan is obviously a good idea before they breed a whole lot more weapons. We buy dates here, but have fairly tight border controls to avoid insects and other things which worry us a lot more than AlQ nuclear bomb shipments. So we might be okay. AlQ would love to let off a big bang in an infidel city. Preferably Washington. Opium gets through in large quantity to the USA, but not to NZ. It would be easy to bribe a border guard in the USA to let through a shipment of victimless crime opium, but he'd blanche at a request to let in a noocular bomb shipment. I suppose a suitably lead-enclosed box would avoid leakage of neutrons to detectors. I wonder how long a little nuclear bomb can remain fissionable before it fizzles out? Google would know, but maybe somebody here does. Mqurice PS: Getting Saddam was obviously a lot about the oil and revenge for the attack on Dad and Laura. If it was about WMDs, Bush would have been after Pakistan, North Korea, Iran and Libya and maybe even enlist Saddam to help. I wonder what the USA would do if Washington got nuked by an Islamic Jihad bomb.
