A nuclear attack doesn't leave much evidence behind does it? Certainly not as much as 9/11 did. So how would WE, not the government and their "official stories", but we as American citizens find out who actually did it?

And second question, If this was defaintely terrorists or Iran or somebody like that, if you are not already in, would you join the military?

A nuclear weapon does leave trace materials that have unique signatures that can help identify its point of origin. Every reactor produces a slightly different composition of radioisotopes which would eventually become the plutonium in the nuke. The military can trace to the point of origin based on this composition.

I have been in and out already. If it was definately muslim extremests and the nuke originated from Iran, I would definately consider re-enlisting, but I think my wife would protest. So most likely I would not, but I would definately stock up on guns and ammo, just in case.

As for the military, my girlfriend most likely wouldn't allow me to join either. I'd want to. But that's a good idea, stock up on guns and ammo.

And for your reading pleasure, from the weapondry forum, here is a thread that talks about what to do, have ready, and plan for "Situation X" which I would definately consider this a runner for whatever that situation may be.

I know its a little off topic, but just in case anyone has the same train of thought as dick and I about what to do if this were to happen.

Don't forget, if it happens, the site/sites of attack will also tell us who the perpetrators are. Our own goverment would not outright cripple itself if its trying to garner support for more warmongering. There some other minor factors as well....such as the terrorists "getting out of control" to what was originally intended. If the Gov did have a small or major part in 9/11, that doesn't mean that new attacks are thier fault either. If I was china or russia, I would use the muslims to my advatage while giving them free weaponry( as this would incourage more brazen attacks).

I think they will nuke Hoover Dam and take out the city of sin (Las Vegas) at the same time. An attack on Soddom itself.

Who's yanking who's chain?
Osama says he's got a bomber in country.
FBI says we know who he is, but we are letting him walk around free.
We know, that you know, that we know.

Much the same way the US admin was advised of these known terrorists training in US Flight schools..
they were being watched by the FBI.
The FBI knew of the threat of plane hijackings bein used as missles.
But we managed to fall over our own feet and let that happen....
Or did we simply watch.. .and allow it to proceed?
Its in the governemnts best interests to be attacked again.
They need a way out of IRAQ, not as whole in terms of the WOT, but to physically shift this offensive into a more WIN'able position.
Extending the battle to the region gives us more room to move, allows more troops and firepower and use of the dreaded tactical nuke.
Plus, when certain members within the government MAKE MONEY of war.. well... its ching ching for everyone invovled...
Just a pitty the soilders are the ones paying the price.
