Nuclear jihad..imminent?

Not dead yet.
Are these the same people that foretold of a nuclear terror attack on October 4th or 5th? I must admit that it didn't make me happy to see an ad about this stuff in the Washington Times as I sat in row 18 of a Southwest flight across the country. . .

Part of me agrees, though, I'm sick of being scared. Part of me says "bring it on, a-holes. Once the USA figures out where you are, you can expect an apocalyptic counter attack."

I don't live in fear of nuclear attack or terrorists. You figure the odds of being the victim of a terrorist attack are very slender and a nuclear hit would be over so fast you wouldn't know what hit you.

So you might as well live your life. :shrug:

:yeahthat: ... and according to the Chernobyl studies link posted by Ken King in another thread, life goes on after a nuclear event... more people are done in by the "wasting away worrying about it" then they are by the event itself.

Well to put this into Biblical and Christian prospective, the Bible prophesy says that there will be a period of world wide anarchy before Jesus returns. As a Christian, it does not matter when or how my earthly body meets its end. It is only a temporary container for my soul which can only be destroyed by God. Since I believe in God come as man as Jesus as my Savior and Lord, the day my earthly body dies is graduation day; a joyous event.

That's if they get access to an actual nuclear weapon. A more likely scenario is a conventional bomb with nuclear waste material around it. Bomb goes boom and flings radioactive waste material into the air and surrounding area. Your classic Dirty Bomb.

I still think their best bet is to bomb one or more of our nuclear facilities...:shrug:

What's interesting is that significantly more people die every year in car accidents than in terrorist attacks. Yet we worry about the terrorists and don't think twice about jumping in our vehicles.

it would be difficult to get a release from an American reactor, they're made of very thick concrete

Boat bomb could do some major damage... and wouldn't be that hard to pull off...:shrug:

Okay, here's my dorkstein question:

How exactly does a nuclear strike work? Do they fly planes over and drop a bomb, then fly like hell to get away? Do they launch from Europe or wherever and it flies over here itself? Do they smuggle it in and detonate it in Times Square?

I suppose I could look this up but it's easier and faster just to have one of you all tell me.
