Michael Savage claims there are 20 nuclear suitcase bombs (acquired after the fall of the Soviet Union) in the US now in the hands of terrorists that arrived via Mexico. Savage is crazy as a bedbug, but he is very often right, most of the time, in fact.

Savage?

Dude's a wingnut.

Plus, he's on the list.

I'm sorry, but exactly what steps did Blair take to make this issue go away? Did he deport the Imams in Finsbury Park that were chanting the deaths of Blair, Bush, the US and Britain? No, He let his multicultural paradise continue as usual, downgraded the alert level and crossed his fingers he wouldn't be near the blast. Pretty much the same that Bush, Congress are doing.

How many dead people will it take for Bush and Blair to take domestic security seriously? Triple that number and thats how many dead it will take for the left and the MSM to take it seriously.

Savage is the persona of right-wing demagoguery. What valid points he may have are completely lost in his doomsaying and outright hatred for elements of American culture. He plays to angry and disaffected people whose sensibilities are as easily keyed-up as his. His message is as pessimistic as Reagan's was optimistic.

Long-story short: Drudge reported on those missing nukes 3-4 years ago. Don't you think that they'd have set them off by now? Forget suicide bombings that leave 60 dead. One nuke would be the ultimate coup for them. I'm as concerned as anyone else about nuclear terrorism, but I can't rationally fathom why Al Qaeda would have failed to use just one of those nukes, if they had possession of them.

Perfectly understandable, as it is predictable. No matter what happens, blame Bush (and Blair).

Savage is crazy as a bedbug, but he is very often right, most of the time, in fact.

Though his rants sound crazy, I often find myeslf in agreement with him. But I must admit, I tried to read a couple of his books and found them almost imcomprehensible and certainly unreadable. His yankee bluster bothers me not, I grew with guys like him. And he tells funny stories like a yente in that little-old-jewish-guy-man-the-corner way. I picture him on Delancy street talking to anyone who'll listen, good morning Mrs. Finklestein, have you heard about ... Sometimes he does go off into some wild nutty rants but his basic direction and thrust are usually right.

I have no doubt that domestic security is the top priority of the Bush Administration. That we have not had a terrorist attack since 9/11 while Europe and Asia have suffered multiple attacks is proof of our domestic security thus far. Unless there is a rogue nuke out there, any attack that may occur on our soil will be relatively small as I am confident they will not be able to coordinate a large attack with the security tools now in place. To think that we can implement security measures that will guarantee no attacks, just ask Israel about their efforts.

Ring makes the point I was making... I do think Blair deserves SOME blame for this. It is his government, after all, and he is ultimaely charged with its success and failures.

But... there is also the fact that it's damedly hard to guard against terrorist attacks. Something the more hyperpartisan of critics barely acknoweldge before levelling their allegations of negligence if not actual active participation in the attacks.

They should definately take them blame for allowing these radicals in the country in the first place. And for debasing and demonizing their own culture to the point where it is almost impossible to defend it, as our current conflict is as much cultural as political and religious.

IIRC, the smaller the nuke, the more maintainance it takes. No way any 'suitcase' devices of Soviet vintage are still operational.
