This isn't far fetched.
From the New York Daily News: Dick Cheney's gone nuclear.
The former vice president offered a prediction that the U.S. will face a deadly terrorist attack within a decade — and a nuclear weapon could be used.
“I think there will be another attack, and next time, I think it’s likely to be far deadlier than the last one,” he said on the Hugh Hewitt radio show Tuesday
“Imagine what would happen if somebody could smuggle a nuclear device, put it in a shipping container and drive it down the Beltway outside Washington, D.C.,” Cheney added.

I respect that, Dan. I'm unsure if it will be the prevailing attitude in the event of a big attack though. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteAfter 9/11, Bush was given a lot of support, and a wide berth for a long, long time. You know, of course, that I think he squandered the national unity, and made really bad decisions thereafter. But I wonder if Obama, or future presidents of either party will get that kind of somber "honeymoon" around a big, awful attack. I'm not so sure.
