Nuclear Terrorism
1 comment July 19th, 2007
Nuclear terrorism,two of the most haunting, chilling words for Americans to contemplate post-9/11.
But not ignore, according to the the 9/11 Commission that investigated the intelligence failures that facilitated Al-Qaeda’s ability to attack the homeland on September 11, 2001. They concluded that the possibility of nuclear terrorism being perpetrated by Al-Qaeda was the number one national security danger to the United States. It would then stand to reason that if Hillary Clinton is the most qualified human being in America to be the next commander-in-chief, she would have something to say about our most dangerous security menace. But reason apparently is nothing more than an inconvenience for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
This Hillaryland maven of strategic thought has offered nothing on the public record that indicates she regards the danger of Al-Qaeda acquiring nuclear weapons to be the gravest danger to the American people. She undoubtedly invested much of her time rehearsing for her Sopranos spoof for YouTube video, and spent sleepless hours strategising on her campaign song contest. But where is the expended effort that demonstrates that preventing Al-Qaeda getting its hands on a nuke is the number one priority for Senator Clinton?
Several of her fellow Democrats are on record in a responsible manner regarding the the threat of nuclear terrorism. They include Bill Clinton’s former Defense and Assistant Defense Secretaries, William Cohen and Graham Allison, who have both warned that nuclear terrorism by Al-Qaeda is a grave and imminent danger. Former Democratic senator Sam Nunn has devoted much of his time to doing everything possible to keep fissile materials out of the hands of terrorists. However, current senator Hillary Clinton remains largely silent on this existential menace to America. Instead of speaking hypocritically about the Libby pardon, or showing she is “way cool” with her ridiculous Sopranos video, why doesn’t she focus on what respected members of her own political party have warned is a danger that may kill millions of American citizens, unless preventing nuclear terrorism becomes the number one national priority for the sitting American president? In reality, there is no answer, because Hillary Clinton is only the most qualified American to assume the duties of commander-in-chief in the scripts of paid political consultants and campaign marketing specialists. Unfortunely, PR spin will not deter Osama bin Laden a wink, if he gets his hands on highly enriched uranium and plutonium.
