[edit on 3-9-2006 by Yarcofin]
not many, if any.
North Korea has no more than half a dozen nukes and none of their missiles can hit CONUS
Iran "allegedly" has 0 - even if it did none of their missiles can hit CONUS
No Pakistani missile can hit CONUS
If Russia or China launched how many would they get back?.......

Make no mistake, the situation as it is now, with one party excercising "global dominance", is inherently unstable. Being king of the hill means everyone else has a strong motivation to knock you off. Especially as the last five years have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of assymetrical warfare techniques used against against technically superior opponents.
An Imperial America represents a threat to the life and liberty of every single man, woman, and child in the country.
Not to mention the rest of the planet.

If that attack were to utilize nuclear weapon(s).
I would be more likely to suspect Israel as the ultimate source of the device(s).
alright you sound like Mel Gibson , Israel is not going to bomb the U.S. why would they?? were allies........remember??
Russia and China both have serious reasons to be the one to pull such a stunt due to the fact that with the U.S. being the oil hog that we are, have put a serious restraint on the amount of available oil Russia and China both can aquire. With Russia and China both having an ever increasing appetite for more oil due to their booming industrial sectors, using Al Qadea as a proxy for an attack on the U.S. makes way more sense than the Israel theory. IMO

Does anyone have a link to this 48 minute vidoe of "Azzam The American" ? I've seen a 3 minute snippet of it at youtube.com but have yet to see the whole thing and I would definately sit through it.

What makes you think the next "king of the hill" is going to be any different?

Sentinal,
I wouldnt be too sure. An attack would keep him in office. I think he's going to "fix" it so he can stay.

Bush won't be around longer than his 8 years ... if he even makes it that long. I have a thought that his health isn't as good as we think. Not physically ... mentally.
