That stinks.

We may not have to wait long. Whatever came of the report I saw a few days ago of there being traces of weapons grade uranium found in Iran?

This report: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12758225/

No first use.

No use a-tall until you definitively identify the source of the attack.

Which essentially means no use ever.

Better just cowboy up because someday, someway we're going to get hit and there will be no clear culprit to hit back.

We're just going to take a few on the chin and have to overcome that and move on.

(And get it through your heads that "nuclear forensics" WILL NOT identify the source of the uranium every time. It might if you have "known source" samples to compare against, but you don't have that for Iran, NK, Pakistan and probably some others. Beyond that, if it definitively proved out to be sourced by the DirkaDirkastanians, the DirkaDirkastanians will claim the material was stolen from them years ago.)

Bingo. What Toad said. Exactly what Toad said.

My child, my family... we're living within plain sight of NYC. Since we happen to be likely statistics if the other team wins the toss... well; lets just say my views are jaundiced regarding 'taking the first few on the chin'.

Nash · « **Reply #79 on:** May 19, 2006, 10:03:37 PM »

Yeah, maybe. I lost a good buddy in the attack. Lost a few aquaintences, and a few clients whose businesses went *poof*.

But it's all bs....You might think that your views are "jaundiced".... yet that's no good. It's nobody's business to tell you how you should react to such a bewildering event. If it's jaundice, then so be it.

That being said..... barely anybody on the island is worried about another attack. Call it the price of admission or something - but folks just aren't so nutso about it.

Mostly? They're sick of some hack racist pig ****ing retard from Alabama telling folks in the rest of America how scared they should be from another attack on NYC, while at the same time calling New Yorkers the devil incarnate.

If the US gets hit by a nuke, somebody is gonna get nuked in return, regardess of the facts or evidense.

After careful consideration I've decided that the policy of 'launch on warning' to be sound.

I have never been a fan of just standing there waiting for the first punch when a belligerent POS grabs my attention and announces he's gonna kick my ass.

We've been warned.

How many people on the "island" do you know?

Nash · « **Reply #83 on:** May 19, 2006, 10:32:16 PM »

Way more than you, guaranteed.

Mr Big · « **Reply #84 on:** May 19, 2006, 10:36:06 PM »

well, do you know enough to declare with conviction that "barely anyone" is worried about an attacK?

Nash · « **Reply #85 on:** May 19, 2006, 10:37:47 PM »

Pretty much. Yes. Do you have any standing to try and prove to me anything different? If so, pony up, cactus boy.

Just for the record, how many people do you know again?

Nash · « **Reply #88 on:** May 19, 2006, 10:48:28 PM »

Yeah.... I knew a few people there.

I also went to and graduated from college there. I also worked there for a few years.

So.... are you trying to tell me I'm supposed to bow to your assesment? 'xcuse me?

Next time someone there inquires about fake grass I'll be sure and give 'em your card.

What was my assesment?

I was challenging your assesment. You claim to know how the majority thinks on Long Island.
