Why are people ignorin g the fact that this is a BOOK PROMOTION. The article isn't but it has coincided with a book release on the matter. Did you know the nukes were hidden in the US during hte cold war? Did you know that Al Qaeda's modus operondai would NEVER have thm attack when we expect it (heroshimo blast date!).

It also ignores the fact that if the bomb is not a dirty bomb, it wll not be a good thing, but the nuclear devices Al Qaeda might have would clear 2 city blocks and that's it. How do they get hte 1 million death count?

LET THIS DAMNED THREAD DIE ALREADY

Well, I live outside of Washington, DC and going to Las Vegas this weekend so I guess I'm screwed either way! ;)

Makes me wonder if Iran knows that the U.S. will not be a threat soon. o_O


I'm not trying to scare anyone, I just noticed this on some IRC rooms.
That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Drop a few bombs on the world's greatest military power and assume they won't be a threat afterwards? :roll:

For doing what you sorry POS

Oh I love the hypocrisy of the AT forums...typical American responses...I seem to recall in a few of the "CHINA vs USA" nuclear war threads, the typical American poster response was "well we'll nuke the fvck out of them and if we kill nieghbouring countries in the process who gives a fvck...we're trying to protect freedom"
But as soon as a non american posts something similar only directed towards the US it becomes "Your a terrorist sympathizer and you should be banned" BULLSH*T...what ever happened to freedom of speech?..or is that just part of the American Hypocrisy?
you guys don't seem to mind bad mouthing other countries, including my own but as soon as somebody says something bad about the US you all turn in to a big bunch of cry babies
It's no wonder that the rest of the world considers the US nothing more than a joke.
While I abhor you and your stance, I respect your right to the opinion. Even if that opinion is the vile hateful stuff of a small man, I know that you have every right to think and say as you please.

Well, at least in THIS country you do...

Well, at least in THIS country you do...

Let me explain how I see it, when I first joined ATOT and numerous other forums back in 2001, I was PRO American...to me Everything the US did was justified and right, but over the past few years I have had my view of the US altered, not only by the people I work with but the American Users of this and many other forums, I don't know if Americans just talk a lot of Bullsh*t or they really believe what they are saying but on numerous occasions I have seen my own home land and many other countries belittled by the American users... to them we are backward and inferior, your beliefs state that all men are created equal, but you constantly preach your superiority over other countries.
Not long ago I read a thread in the P&N section about the Wiping of debt in Africa...most of the posters in that thread made fun of the fact that africa was so poor...so much for all men are created equal.

The people I work who are Chinese and have families in China, have told me that their families on the Chinese mainland fear and await a US nuclear attack, so I decide to make a thread just to find out what the US response would be in a theoretical Attack on the US, the response was generally wipe the fvckers out and if we kill anybody else who cares. We?re American. It's not just AT; it's most forums that have a High US user base.
I'm probably just being petty and should take any of this seriously, but if this is how the US really thinks...then I'm pretty sure that in the not to distant future...we're all fvcked.

But it's not just forums I work in Sydney so I deal with many foreigners, many of which are American...and the same can be said for them as it can be said for the users of this forum, often I have seen many American customers critise our backward ways "we do things differently in the states, the Aussie way is backward and wrong". It just pisses me off that Americans think they have the right to critise anything that isn't US and as soon as somebody else speaks up, they are belittled as well.

The odds are I'll probably cop a ban for posting this, but I just had to get this off my chest.
I have said my piece, so flame away

I understand what you wrote but you do realize that you're being as small minded as the few individuals who acted the way you claim they did.
You think America as a whole should be bombed because of a few people.
You claim American's are all ignorant.
Sounds pretty close minded to me. If you want to see real ignorance, go find yourself a mirror.

anyone else find it hard to believe that Bin Laden got his hands one ONE nuke, let alone enough to bomb all those cities?

Yeah, the people who come up with these theories don't let a little common sense come in between them and their crazy theories.
