NYC... Easy... A ship loaded with a few 1000 tonnes of... Lead...

Possibility of custums or CG finding it? Nearly nil... (Ask an experienced smuggler, hey, that's me).

I don't know of the legitimacy of this article but I found it quite interesting (and amusing) on the "what do the Iraqu people think" front:

Radation would show up on our satellites so we would see it coming long before they were able to get it there. Unless they cover it with a lot of lead but tht would be suspcious within itself.

This is complete bollocks.
Satellites chances to see the radiation of a few grams of unanium inside of its protecting core? Next to nothing.
In a city with millions of inhabitants (ospitals, vets and dentists use radioactive material)? No chance at all.

But is that enough material to have a great effect.

Basically, you won't see the radiation until the city's glowing with it. Once, I came up with an elaborate plan of nuking both NYC and Washington on New Year's Eve, and simultaneously launching smaller guerrilla attacks all over the rest of the country, and it eventually became a plan for world domination. Because I got bored in study hall. See what America's schools are producing?

Exercising your bill of rights is quite American. Here are the ones pertaining to you:
(Amendment II)

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.


So go ahead with your militaristic plans, just hope the state doesn't stop you.

w00t! All your world are belong to me!

alright, if you don't believe me, a kilo of uranium-258 would have about 10 million decays per second. that's only about 50,000 times the number in the same weight of regular old worthless 99.9999999999% non-radioactive carbon. i'd guess a person probably has more than a kilo of carbon in their body. so less than 1% of city's population produces as much radiation as a kilo of uranium from their own bodies. needless to say, radiation from biomass is an extrememly insignifigant source and just sort of a silly comparison i decided to use.
the reason so little radiation comes off uranium? U-258 has a half life of about 4.5 billion years. that's a long time. just because it's fissionable, doesn't mean it decays rapidly. those are two completely different atomic reactions.

edit: i just realized that carbon-14 and uranium-258 have different decay processes. U-258 is alpha decay while C-14 is beta. so not really comparable, but the radiation from a bomb would still be insignificant and i still had fun working out lots of silly statistics to put in my post.

Socom? *gets out mic* Dammit, no have N/A. *kills* *murders* *decapitates soemthing*

A man by the name of Sadamus, was an evil man. And there came a man, a liar and propagandist, by the name of Baghod. One day, a merry little prince came to town, by the name of Frankie, who killed the rapist, exiled the propagandist...and lived miserably after a bunch of suicide attacks, poor living conditions, etc.

Meh>

The Partisans were NOT in Germany attacking. They were in thier homeland.

Wait a minute...have I missed something? Are the Iraqi guerilla soldiers actually attacking targets in America!?!

No, of course they aren't...you just made the HUGE mistake of seeing the guerilla in Iraq and Al-Quaida terrorists as the same thing, didn't you?

It was actually documented that Pentagon was lying more than the Iraq government during the war.
Unfortunately I don't remember the sources, and the study did come out before the last days of total desperation by Baghdad-Bob

Baghdad Bob's my new idle, screw the truth, believe what you want.
SO you can go on and believe what you want about your inexistent studies done at Al Qaeda Training Camp, 55* SW of Kabul.... =D

If the Pentagon (and the world amatteroffact) believed/knew Saddam had WMDS, obviously France/Germany was just stalling to let Saddam move them out with his bank account to Syria. Afterall the UN weapons inspections prove inconclusive, but Saddam already had the illegal missiles being destroyed. Hence, the Pentagon wouldn't be lying, but rather believing in something that was in the end twisted to prove them not exactly correct. Its called bad calculations, and having bad allies that screw up your studies while they collect some extra oil before the US went in.

[Pirog]

Is this you talking, or are you impersonating Baghdad-Bob?

Come on, Pentagon came with quite a lot of outrageous lies during the war, as of course all sides in war do.
Just look at Jessica Lynch...I'm still surprised that the Americans haven't reacted more to such a scam.

A lil of both rather, along with some mocking sarcasm, but I'm quite confident about the WMDS in iraq, always have been.

I agree with that Jessica Lynch, right, an american soldier *psst-w/e*
The news companies just thot it was nice to run, since well, there's a war on and all.
