Richardson: 'Nuclear 9-11' Is Possible

WASHINGTON —
Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson said the United States needs to do more to prevent a "nuclear 9-11," a threat that he argues has been neglected because the Bush administration has been consumed with Iraq.
The New Mexico governor said the United States must lead an effort to secure nuclear materials in Russia and dangerous areas of the world so they can't get into terrorists' hands. "If al-Qaida obtained nuclear weapons, they would not hesitate to use them with the same ruthlessness that allowed them to fly airplanes filled with people into buildings," he said in a speech to the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
"It took a Manhattan project to create the bomb," Richardson said. "We need a new Manhattan project to stop the bomb _ a comprehensive program to secure all nuclear weapons and all weapons-usable material, worldwide."
Asked why he doesn't support a nuclear-free world like former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and other Cold War leaders have promoted, Richardson replied, "I'm a pragmatist."
"I believe what the world needs to do is nuclear arms reductions," Richardson said. He recalled that it didn't work when President Reagan and Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev agreed in 1986 to renounce all nuclear weapons "for about 10 minutes."
Richardson worked on securing Russian nuclear weapons when he was energy secretary in the Clinton administration.
"Meanwhile, we are spending $10 billion a month on Iraq," he said. "Of the many ways in which the Iraq war has distracted us from our real national security needs, this is the most dangerous."
In the question-and-answer period after his speech, Richardson laid out the plans for his first days in the White House. The first day, he would get out of Iraq. The second, he would announce a plan to drastically cut U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

Answer 1

120 billion a year are the interest payments

Answer 2

not just possible, but probable. with the proliferation of nuclear weapons amongst the world's less qualified governments capab;le opf understanding the danger of nukes, the probability that a terrorist group sponsored by those nations is so high as to be a distinct probability of use. any terrorist group, especially involving the muslim idiots being led around bythe nose without knowing it, will use it as soon as they are TOLD to by their still-unidentified leader which some will call the anti-christ. he has been building his power structure for over 20 years and will soon unleash it full force, then come out and claim he has the way to peace.

Answer 3

And how is it the fault of democrats? The article specifically states that because of the war in Iraq is the reason that nuclear disarmament has been stalled.

Answer 4

absolutely not possible. It takes about 8 kg of plutonium to make a bomb there are tons of it around since the demise of USSR why does Iran feel it is necessary to make all of their own from scratch. I dont think they would give this stuff away.
