"Why America was nuked!"
Only two weeks after the elections in November of 2008, The United States of America, a nation of former greatness lay in absolute desolate ruin. Within the previous 72 hours a series of eight successive, delayed nuclear devices had been detonated. Indescribably large portions of metro Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and two thirds of the island of Manhattan have been turned into steaming craters. Millions are dead, President George W. Bush is in intensive care, two-thirds of the Cabinet - including the Vice President missing or dead.

President-elect Barack Obama faces the most enormous challenge of any incoming President in the history of the nation.

But why?

How did it happen?

Turn back the clock to the week of February 5, 2007. With a courageous handful of dissenting votes against the measures, the two houses of Congress - purposefully ignore the pleas of General David Petraeus and both pass non-binding resolutions that condemn the President’s call for victory…

…. It matters not that at 6pm EST across America Hewitt, Levin, Gibson, and Savage tried daily to remind us all of what would come….

…because the Congress had decided to de-fund the southern border fence there is noted increase in the number of border crossings by people attempting to get in to the United States.

With them are the final two persons needed to activate the final two portable nuclear devices in American cities.

President Bush, out of loyalty and love for our best allies Israel, orders jet strikes on Tehran. Unfortunately the damage done is not able to penetrate deep enough underground to disturb Iran’s operational hub.

Beginning at 5am on Wednesday morning, Al Qaeda agents incinerate historic Washington D.C., downtown Manhattan is leveled, and the Sears Tower in Chicago sprays bits of glass as far as DuPage county.

Will we then be a nation UNITED towards victory?

Will it even matter?

1. Uhm, except no terrorists have nuclear devices.
Nor has anyone come up with any realistic way for them to actually transport the things to the U.S. Nice try though, asshat.

OP is not the asshat - the columnist cited is. Just want to be clear. ;-)

2. Um...what about North Korea?
That's where any loose nukes are likely to come from.

(Or Pakistan or any of the former Soviet states).

5. He is claiming they are Iranian nukes, which is patent nonsense
Edited on Wed Feb-07-07 12:57 PM by NCevilDUer
like everything else in this paranoid fiction.

Even if Iran did come up with a couple nukes in the next couple years (nowhere near the 9 minimum listed) 1) they would never nuke Jerusalem, the 3rd holiest city in Islam and 2) if they nuked anything in Israel, Isreal would turn their country into a lake of glass. If Iran nuked Israel, the US would turn Iran into a lake of glass. So they'd be glassified twice over. Not a winning strategy.

This asshat is clearly advocating for a war on Iran because, as he has laid it out, there can be no victory in Iraq without taking out Iran. And, as we do not have the forces to invade Iran, that can only mean a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran.

He's a racist bastard advocating genocide against the Persians.

Oh, and did you get the anti-semitic undertone? How the final two terrorists sneak into the country among all those Jews who will swarm into every available port of entry, from Mexico City to Boston? IOW, watch out, we will be overrun with Jews when Israel is nuked.

Nice.

4. In my professional life I've already been exposed to enough
paranoid delusional systems to more than last me for the rest of my life, and have no interest in delving into shit like this when I'm not being paid for it. I didn't need to see this stuff.

8. Really.
And the real frustration is that you cannot start the process of getting the writer committed as a possible danger to himself or others and start a nice titration process on a combination of psychotropics that will, at the very least, mitigate the presented threat to society.

Tell you what: If you or I started presenting like that, in the community, we would be well on our way to a nice little rest, say 30-90 days, minimum.

11. I gotta say I disagree with you on one point.

edited because I had my stupid keyboard set on German while typing the subject line

"we would be well on our way to a nice little rest, say 30-90 days, minimum." I dunno how it is where you are, but it's harder than hell to get anyone committed around here any more. 15 or 20 years ago, I was literally testifying in commitment proceedings on a weekly basis. These days, they can be flaming crazy and dangerous, and you can't get anyone to pay for putting them away, so there are hardly any commitments anymore. Except for sexual predators in this state. The usual solution is to leave them running around loose until they commit some really egregious offense, at which point they get run through the criminal justice system and "committed" to prison.

7. Of course that is one possible future
Edited on Wed Feb-07-07 01:05 PM by realpolitik
How about this one?

The nukes come up the George Bush NAFTA superhigway, and are sent across the country in containers.
Of course, the War against Islam comes to a new phase as President McCain freely nukes a dozen cities in the middle east
and asia, hoping to kill a few terrorists among the millions of Moslems.

Nuclear winter commences 2009
ends 2149.

All surviving species celebrate, perhaps even a few humans.


No one ever actually discovers who nuked us, but some say it was China
some say Russia, some say alqaeda, others think it might have been Walmart
because a new dark age would be better for their bottom line.

12. Nothing.
I don't think I've ever been on their site before, and I must say I'm sorry I broke that track record.
