I knew this was coming. As crazy as it sounds to talk about, I'd rather have the nuke than a biological attack..... I just hope its not both. I don't think it will even take them (whoever "them" is) five years. I think we'll have a major attack in 2 - 3yrs tops. I have a survivalist mentality that other people think is weird but when it hits the fan, I bet they'll have a different tune. And the weak leadership we'll have here soon won't be able to handle it at all in my opinion. I wonder if we'll be able to blame Obama for it like everyone blames Bush for everything. Him and his jerk-off administration will probably want to negotiate with the terrorist and make concessions for supposed "peace". Anyway, whats your thoughts on the impending doom?
Trust me, unless it's a super contagious, super resilient, super deadly, super incurable disease (ie, it could be released basically anywhere in the world and cause massive devastation), you wouldn't prefer the nuke unless you dream of a Mad Max future.
Nukes are on a whole different scale than any other possible weapon, including dirty bombs. Even the smallest nuke kills billions, while the most deadly of anything else aren't likely to be beyond the hundreds.
The most effective terrorist target is still the trains and subways. Even a small bomb could kill hundreds, and the economic loss (if the right areas are targetted) would be immense. Not to mention it would have a large effect on many people outside of the initial attack as they could be stranded if public transportation was brought down. And a bigger bomb would be better used to attack bridges and tunnels, which would take months if not years to rebuild. Even with alternate routes, the inefficiency in traffic would cause major economic losses, and it would scare people away from commuting into major cities for a while.
I doubt Obama will risk going down as a pussy when it comes to War and fighting terrorism. Yea he campaigned as a anti-war candidate, but he did that to just get the sheeple's votes. He will probably be a bigger hawk than W, the difference is, he'll talk one way and act another.
If he turns out to be a war president, he won't be an occupier. No "war" initiated by Obama will last more than 2 weeks.
