How's That Nuke War Drill Game Coming in S.C. Today?

[orleans]

anyone hear anything about it?

all those "rumors" about the possibility it might "go live" the other day....

any news on this so far?
must be okay -- no news is good news -- sometimes.

1. Same as the "American Hiroshima" 2 weeks ago...

2. Every couple of hours ...

I turn on the TV and hold my breath until I see that there isn't any "nuke" news today. :-)

3. I haven't heard any earth-shattering "kabooms" yet...

...and I'm starting to breathe a bit easier.

4. I worry less about Kabooms and more about dirty bombs in this case.

"Oopsie. we left an uncased warhead someplace> Not sure where, though"

Something moronic like that.

5. damn! either way i hope nothing happens. i just don't trust those

f*ckers anymore (not that i ever did)

7. *hugs* I am in total agreement with you. Untrustworthy, the lot of them. I

wouldn't let them hold my kid for fear they'd either drop him or eat him.

6. Just checked my pulse

and I'm still alive. Good to know. (22 miles outside of Charleston)

9. Well, if you DO get vaporized today, be sure to let us know! (lol)

I am WAAAY up here in Durham, so I'm surely not as stressed as you!

8. A word about "False Flag Attack" predictions...

9/11 was a bolt from the blue. Aside from intelligence community insiders with "hair on fire" warnings of imminent attacks, the vast majority of Americans were completely non plussed by the attacks. One of the many benefits of such a surprise is that it makes premeditation by anyone look ridiculous - something a false flag attacker needs.

The next attack will not be a surprise. Indeed Cheney, Rumsfeld et. al. have already been promising us "not if, but when". We now have a strange phenomena: the shameless lies about Iraq and the questions surrounding 9/11 have a sizable number of us suspecting that the next attack will come either under the supervision or approval of this administration. Imagine that! That has to be unprecedented.

So...what can they do to discredit these suspicions? How about spread a bunch of false rumors and make sure that we've cried wolf so many times that any claim that "we predicted this attack" seems ridiculous.

So, yeah, an attack is probably coming. And, yeah, I’ll be suspicious as to who’s behind it when it comes. But predict a date? That’s a game for suckers.
