You can mark this down and take it to the bank:

Before the year 2015, a nuclear device is going to be detonated somewhere in an urban area of the US, killing at minimum half a million people, either immediately or due to the after effects. I flat-out guarantee it. Sure as the sunrise.

It's inevitable. And I don't pretend to be smart enough to know how to prevent it.

The aftermath of that ain't gonna be pretty. For anyone.

If that's the case Mike (and I tend to agree) then why have we don't little to nothing to secure our borders, ports and old Soviet nukes since 9/11?

Doesn't add up.

For all the security that's been upped at the Cargo docks I can't help but wonder that that device might sail right under our noses in the keel of a cruising sailboat coming in from who knows where....



It could be detonated before it even reaches a port.

the whole scenario is scarey for sure Mike...
