Even if you discount the second hand witness to his more wacky statements, what's on the public record is clear enough to me.


Any yet there are no jihadist who have the means to build or probably even acquire a nuke.

The countries who do have them are completely deterred by MAD, as they know they would be on a short list for the USA to render them unto glass.

More likely would be a nuclear Iran going after Saudia Arabia...the divisions between Islamic sects are much deeper than against the West.

In the end, they are all in it for themselves, and the world will certainly suffer. But I think the proposition of a sneak nuke attack against the US pretty remote.

I would say N Korea does not care about Mad. And it will happen, by a terrorist group, maybe a dirty bomb, but it will happen. And then some of you will say we deserved it. Pathetic.

Kim Jong-il has but one objective...survival.

To sell a nuclear weapon is the fastest way for him to not meet that objective. To sell a nuclear weapon and have it used against the West would give NATO the rights to remove N Korea from the map.

And a "dirty bomb" isn't a nuke so please don't try to confuse the two.

I love the "blame ourselves" mantra. Instead perhaps I should shove my own head so far up my own ass that the smell becomes so second nature that I'll convince myself that my %$%$%$%$ doesn't indeed stink.

This will eliminate any unecessary introspection that could better my behavior, because we're on a mission from God to get "them".
