"Cross your fingers Cross your toes. Put a bone in your nose, Ho, ho." Ray Stevens. The smaller countries figure, probably correctly, that if they have nukes and the power to deliver them, then they can restrain an aggressive US President from attacking them. As far as portable nukes for terrorists go, it cannot be that easy to pull off. Who the hell would fly a plane into a building when he could leave a bomb in the basement? It is a lot like buying drugs in Latin America. Your seller calls the DEA as soon as you leave the room with your booty. I'm sure that those who sell the fixings for nukes must have a similar arrangement.

Well, boys, I reckon this is it — new-key-leer combat toe to toe with the Russkies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump — we got some serious flyin' to do. Well boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing. But we got one little budge on those Russkies. At this height why they might harpoon us, but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen! Aaaaaa hoooo! Waaaaa hooooo!
