Zombie THE 2012 BIDEN/RYAN DEBATE - THE BATTLE OF CHAPLIN HILLS II

Republicans don't watch CNN or vote in their polls.

Certainly not in bigger numbers than Democrats.

 

From this link:

Leaving out of it completely why our Navy should be large, we're not even the largest Navy in the world, in terms of people or ships. We have half of the world's aircraft carriers and over half of the cruisers, but China has more submarines (and about the same # of ships, total), Russia has about the same # of ballistic missile subs, etc. Credibility loss.

 

You think they do or don't have weapons systems that can deliver a nuke?

I don't think they need a rocket. They just need a suicide bomber.

 

They were all watching Fox News or listening to Rush Limbaugh, right?

(Actually, you'd think they were all watching Fox - or in enough quantity that they wouldn't overwhelm democrats on CNN's site(.

 

I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. Last democrat I'll ever vote for in the presidential elections.

I voted for Reagan twice. The only republican I ever voted for, period.

I voted for Harry Reid in 2006 when I lived in Vegas. I regret it, big time. At the time, it seemed like having my state's senator as leader of the senate (majority leader) would be a good thing.

EDIT: I voted for Jerry Brown for governor of California.

 

CBS News poll shows Biden won 50-31.

 

Big difference between nuclear bomb/missile and a dirty bomb. Dirty bombs are severely overrated as people-killers, and go off of scare tactics and people's lack of knowledge of radiation and effects.

But even a "fizzle" of a nuclear bomb (or one carried on a short-range missile) would do some heavy damage.

Put it this way, even the relatively crude weapon tested by NK in 2009 was 5-15 kT, between half of and the same size as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

 

I wasn't suggesting a dirty bomb. Those could be made without anything Iran is doing.

 

I see what you're saying. While you could, in theory, have a suitcase nuke or a tactical nuke that just required someone to drop it off, you're not getting one into, say, Israel or NYC. If you want to have a fission weapon, there's a significant radiological signature that comes with it, and you can't just import those.

 

The thing about nukes is you don't have to be so accurate.

I don't think they'd try to ship an assembled nuke into NYC. More likely they'd assemble it on a boat and park it in a harbor.

I don't think they need much of a rocket to deliver a nuke from Gaza into Israel.

 

Bottom Line: I'm not keen on our national security leaders laughing off Iran's nuclear program by saying "don't worry about it...they don't have a weapon to put uranium on if they had it!"
