3. according to the "expert" (transcript:)
Guest: Cham Dallas, director for the Center for Mass Destruction Defense

Dallas: Sometime in the future there's going to be a nuclear weapon used in the united States - certainly a radiological device is going to be used and a lot of radioactivity is going to fall on American citizens.

Colmes: You say that like it's a certainty, like there's no question it's going to happen.

Dallas: There's no doubt in my mind that at some point in the future we will have a radiological device probably soon and a nuclear device at some point five or ten years after.

Dallas fingered Pakistan and North Korea as the likely suppliers of nuclear weapons without informing the viewers that the receipts for this technology are in the hands of the US government - Rumsfeld fast-tracking nuclear capability to North Korea and the Bush family protecting A.Q. Khan's network.

Not content with saying it twice, Dallas snapped up the chance provided by Hannity to repeat his doomsday creed a third time.

Hannity (referring to Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda): Do you doubt that these terror groups could get a weapon - if they did there's no doubt they would use it against Israel is there?

Dallas: There's no doubt in mind mind that if I should say when one of these terror groups gets a weapon like Hezbollah - within the next decade - they will use it within a time of their choosing, but they would use it.

4. Booga, booga, let's whip up the fear and loathing
Bring those sheeple people back into the herd, because they were starting to stray a bit, starting to ask questions. So Booga Booga, fear, nukes, brown skins:eyes:

Of course this ignores all reality that none of these parties has any sort of delivery system to get a nuke over here to the US.

7. I saw this guy on Dayside, I think, earlier.
It's a sad statement on the world when we can expect a geiger counter to become a household utility device.

10. But can we expect a geiger counter to become a household utility?
Not just because some expert on FOX News says so?

11. Not according to the version I saw.
He was promoting these as a household device and said the government was going to start subsidizing them so they would be affordable to everyone. And considering that at the core of the neo-cons philosophy is the idea of a winnable nuclear war, I find that scary.

12. On FOX he said "will be standard fare in every american home..
before long".

I'm not very worried, because most people don't take FOX seriously.
