Asstalker,

You mean this guy?

"Given the number of capable groups with serious intent, the increasing accessibility of weapons or nuclear materials from which elementary weapons could be constructed, and the countless ways by which terrorists could smuggle a weapon across America’s borders, Allison argues that if the U.S. and other governments keep doing what we are doing now, a nuclear terrorist attack is inevitable. Yet Allison is no pessimist. He contends that the big and underreported news is that nuclear terrorism is preventable. “As a simple matter of physics, without fissile material, there can be no nuclear explosion. There is a vast – but not unlimited – amount of it in the world, and it is within our power to keep it secure,” Allison writes. “No fissile material, no nuclear explosion, no nuclear terrorism. It is that simple.” The centerpiece of a strategy to prevent nuclear terrorism must be to deny terrorists access to nuclear weapons and materials. To do this, we must shape a new international security order according to a doctrine of the Three No’s: No loose nukes, No new nascent nukes, and No new nuclear states."

He argued this in 2004, you moron - right in the middle of the two Bush wars - which he labeled TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE! What he argues FOR is strict control of fissile material.

I totally agree with what he DOES call for:

"To do this, we must shape a new international security order according to a doctrine of the Three No’s: No loose nukes, No new nascent nukes, and No new nuclear states."

Which will require diplomacy, not cowboy military adventures. Obama is much better suited than Bush for this task. The Russians, the Chinese and we, NONE of us want nuclear terrorism.
