DocM Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 This is becoming a habit down there - in 2013 Cobalt 60, a radiotherapy source. Iridium 192 is pretty hot, though it has a half life of "just" 73.83 days.

Torolol Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If there any foreign radioactive bomb detonated on US soil, their entry vector probably from Mexico, made it easy with open border "policy". Gone 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ph1b3r0pt1c Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, we would spread more freedom in places we have no business being in. Thats exactly what would happen. But the again if we didnt, people would say we dont do enough and if we do we overdo it. Damned if do, damned if dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't worry quite yet, the current President will do a lot of talking and not much else, like he's done the last 7 years, especially when it comes to the border and our "neighbors" to the south, now if we get some sense and elect a real President next, then maybe be somewhat concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're so smart, you should run for the next president. I'm sure campaign donors would throw money at you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone's upset I talked bad about Dear Leader, for the record the response was in the context of the thread, but you'd know that had you actually ready the comments and not scanned for one to try and flame badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatingFatMan's reply was in the context of the thread as it compared the events of 9/11 to a 'what-if' someone did it again. Your reply was completely useless and yet you accuse someone else of 'flaming'. Please, write more, I need good laughs tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Then you don't want Clinton. Libya etc. were cooked up by her, Samantha Power and Susan Rice.

I think you'll find that the rest of the world would be quite happy if America *didn't* interfere in other countries.

DocM Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I never wanted Clinton anyway. She's Bill in a bra. Worse. Far worse. Even people in her own party call her the Hildebeast, and for good reason. The problem Dems have is that their political bench is thin, making her the most viable option.

Just because you're American doesn't mean that the rest of the world wants the same. Lets be honest here, you could insert any first world country into that statement and it'd still be equally pointless. Every country protects their interests, and most of them are happy to keep mass murdering asshats out of positions of power. Yes America has its problems, but we are hardly the only one meddling.

Closely followed by Russia and then the UK. Countries seriously need to keep their noses out of other countries business; the world would be happier for it. I'm just glad we're not the US's whipping boy any more since Bush's boyfriend, Blair, was kicked out. Being friends is OK, being the US's bitch, was not.
