Brought You By The Democratic Party

A glimpse of the near future our "friends" on the other side of the aisle are, wittingly or unwittingly, trying to hasten:

What would happen if a 20-kiloton nuclear bomb exploded over Broadway and Warren Street in downtown New York City?

Nearly 1.6 million New Yorkers could be killed or injured, according to Cham Dallas, director of the Center for Mass Destruction Defense.

Dallas offered the prediction in an interview with the New York Post. He also said the flash from the blast would permanently blind all onlookers, and that a fireball would burn everything in its path.

Not surprisingly, the shock wave from the blast would likely demolish surrounding buildings and scatter radioactive particles downwind....

He warned that a 20-kiloton weapon could fit in the back of "a small rental truck or even a van.”

According to Dick Morris in yesterday's New York Post, the Brooklyn Bridge is only still standing today because in 2002 the intelligence tools provided by the Patriot Act enabled the NYPD to "flood the bridge with cops" and, according to a subsequent wire tap intercept of a terrorist phone call, made the bridge "too hot" to go through with the attack. As things stand now, in 2006 the heat will be off.

Or rather, the heat will be off al Qaeda, which will be able to REALLY turn up the heat in New York City and everywhere else in the American homeland.

All the more reason to friccassee the quislingist Senate Democrats now.

UPDATE: Or, based on this development of Chechan Islamists launching a chemical attack against a grade school, you can just as easily substitute a nerve gas attack in the Manhatten subway....
