what kind of dumbass would ever think that a terrorist could get his hands on a nuclear weapon of mass destruction? these things and the resources to make such things are no where near getting into the hands of a terrorist. this is why terrorists rely on suicide bombings and flying planes into buildings.
...the U.S. and other major world powers make sure terrorists dont get their hands on these things... keep in mind we invaded an entire country based on suspicions (which were false) that they had weapons of mass destruction. terrorists are no where near getting shit like this.

If that pinko commie-socialist Kerry takes over, and isn't aggressive on North Korea, yes, you never know what might happen. Even if they don't get the shrink-wrapped, ready-to-ship nuke loaded in the back of a truck, that won't stop them from getting their hands on enriched uranium and doing who knows what with it.
do a google search, im sure theres an anarchy cookbook out there that will teach you how to make a WMD. But people like to deny this fact, they dont like to think outside there box, about maybe new york or LA being nuked. Its a possibilty. People wave it off, just like anyone would of done if they were asked about 9/11 before it happened. Its time to face facts that there are people out there who hate our freedom, our policy's with other country's and our religon's and every point of view. They will murder countless millions of innocent people. Maybe then people like WD and 2-0 will understand what America is trying to do
What has Bush done in North Korea? The exact same thing Clinton did. What will Kerry do? The exact same thing Bush did. Once again tadou, you assume that since Rush said Democrat = pansy, that we will ease up on all world threats. Forget looking at the statements, the policy, or the record...it's easier just to make generalizations you learned from Sean Hannity. Clinton was one of the toughest presidents on terror we've had in awhile...but you would never recognize this. Sean Hannity and Neal Boortz said the opposite, so it must be true.
wow... you are so blind. The hatred is not toward our freedom, LOL that is just plain stupid, it has some, yet little to do with our religion, and everything to do with our policies, interference with other countries, and our government's way of breaking international law as if we are above it. You see theres reasons why the world's most nuetral countries continue to stay nuetral (Switzerland[richest country per capita in the world], Canada etc...), and that is because in the long run neutralism is the smartest, safest way to go.
In Let Freedom Ring, Hannity outlines a charge that has been ringing among conservatives on print and in radio since 9/11: that Clinton let bin Laden slip from his grasp. He writes,
His entire case comes from a guy named Mansoor Ijaz, a Pakistani-American who claims to have transmitted the offer as a middleman between the U.S. and Sudan. The story on Ijaz comes straight from Daniel Benjamin, past director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council and now senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Benjamin only had to meet once with Ijaz to form the opinion that he was an unreliable freelancer, pursuing his own financial interests. Ijaz was an investment banker with a huge stake in Sudanese oil.
Ijaz had urged Benjamin to lift sanctions against Sudan. Why the sanctions? Because Sudan was and remains a notorious sponsor of terrorism, harboring Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Abbas, and Al Qaeda. Also, the Sudanese regime is the leading sponsor of state slavery and considered by many to be genocidal. As Benajmin said of Ijaz, "Either he allowed himself to be manipulated, or he's in bed with terrorists.
Ijaz said that Sudan was ready to hand over bin Laden. The U.S. does not conduct diplomacy through self-appointed private individuals. When the U.S. talked to Sudan, there was no such offer. The U.S. pursued every lead and tried to negotiate, and in return, they got nothing.
It's truly astonishing, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and their liberal allies on Capitol Hill were offered Osama bin Laden by the Sudanese government, and they turned the offer down. They could have taken him into custody and begin unraveling his terrorist network almost six years ago. But they didn't. And now more than three thousand innocent Americans have paid in their blood.
That is astonishing. Hard to think of a more serious charge. You want to be damned sure you have that one locked down pretty tight before you put it in print.

The story does have a happy ending, though. Ijaz now has a job as foreign affairs analyst for the Fox News Channel.
In his book, Losing bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Inleashed Global Terror, author Richard Miniter makes the same charge that Clinton rejected an offer from Sudan to turn over bin Laden. His proof? Well, he offered it on MSNBC's Hardball.
Miniter's "proof" is like saying "I talked to Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg trials and he swears that he offered up Hitler at the 1936 Olympics to Jesse Owens. It was all arranged. All Owens had to do is run up to the reviewing stand and grab Hitler."
Saying to an American reporter, after 9/11, without proof, that you were ready to hand over bin Laden, is not the most difficult decision. It's not a hard way to score points. In fact, the US Govt. knew of no such offer, according to every counterterrorism expert today.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but you're sure based on your writing, in fact in your writing, that there was, in fact, a clear-cut offer from the Sudanese government to turn over bin Laden and it was a credible offer that couldn't have been rescinded?
MINITER: Chris, I have talked to the Sudanese general who made the offer.
MATTHEWS: Okay.
MINITER: And you know...
MATTHEWS: He had the power to deliver bin Laden.
MINITER: He had the power to deliver bin Laden.
Let's remember who we're talking about here. A Sudanese general. The Khartoum regime is arguable the most brutal regime in the world. Worse even than Saddam's regime in Iraq. It has killed nearly two million Christians in southern Sudan, traffics in the slave trade, and is the definition of state-sponsored terrorism.MINITER: Chris, I have talked to the Sudanese general who made the offer.
