Considering that they were three times faster than with hurricane Andrew in 1992, even with the limitations placed upon them by the mayor and the governor, yep.
But then, I don't count on mommy and daddy (the government) to take care of me Racey. I'm a grownup. |

Wel, big boy, how would you defend yourself from a nuke?
That's one of the most idiotic positions you've taken so far.
I'm not on welfare, bud, and I protect my home and family probably far better than you. How many punks have YOU confronted at gunpoint?
You couldn't even fit ONE of my balls in your mouth little lady.

| Totally agree with you about slant of World New Daily, mnkyboy, though I'm pretty sure that the dirtbag in question is a bona fide threat to the US...in a big way. |

Simple.
a) live in a place that won't get nuked.
b) have potassium iodate tablets for potential fallout.
c) have a radiation detector.
d) sufficient food and water to get by for a while.
d) sufficient firearms, ammunition, and prowess with them to deal with potential "difficulties".

Regardless of the "news source" - Paul Williams is a former consultant to the FBI and a reliable source.
Do you have problems with the following?:
-----
Paul Williams: I have a unique background. I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy from Drew University and I am a seasoned and award-winning journalist. I came upon the story of bin Laden's acquisition of tactical nuclear weapons while working as the editor/publisher of The Metro and a consultant on organized crime for the FBI. Several members of the Chechen Mafia, who had emigrated to Little Odessa, muscled into the operations of the Bufalino Crime Family in Northeast Pennsylvania by selling choice No. Four heroin, guns of every description, and stolen high-end cars from New York and New Jersey .
I learned that they came to the U.S. after Makhmud and his associates sold tactical nukes and nuclear materials to Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. I began to search for evidence of this sale and came upon stories in The Jerusalem Report and The London Times and Arab stories in Muslim magazines, Al-Watan al-Arabi and al-Majallah This led me to other sources and reports of further sales of nukes from the former Soviet Union to al-Qaida not only by the Chechens but also the Russian Mafia and black-marker arms-dealers, including Semion Mogilevic from the Ukraine . Such information can be obtained by any journalist with a telephone, a computer, and a library card.
I further learned that the sales to al-Qaida have been verified by a host of intelligence officials and weapons inspectors, including Hans Blix, former director general of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency. The sales were even verified by bin Laden and al-Zawahiri in their pronouncements that they have obtained a small arsenal of nuclear weapons from black-market sources. My research took me farther into dealings between bin Laden and Dr. A. Q. Khan and the fact that over 20 nuclear scientists and technicians from Khan's research laboratories in Pakistan worked with al-Qaida on a regular basis to maintain and modify the weapons that had been purchased and to develop other weapons from the highly enriched uranium and plutonium that bin Laden hade purchased from Uzbekistan and other countries.
Dr. Mahmood and Dr. Majeed, two of the leading officials at the Khan facility, confessed to CIA and ISI interrogators that they participated in al-Qaida's nuclear projects. The fact that the Chechens possessed the nukes should be no surprise to any reporter or investigator. In 1995, the Chechens under Com. Shamail Basayev planted a radiological bomb in Izmailovsky Park near Moscow . The bomb was made of cesium-137, and, if detonated, would have killed thousands of Russians. This incident represented the first case of a nuke to be deployed as a weapon of terror. Later that same year, Dzokhar Dudayev, the leader of the Chechen Mafia, offered to sell his collection of nuclear weapons to the United States in exchange for U. S. recognition of Chechnya 's independence. The Clinton Administration declined and so the weapons were sold to al-Qaida.

Doesn't matter what publication publishes the information - and I've seen and heard Paul Williams elsewhere - what matters is the veracity of the person they're quoting. |

No, no problem with that. There's a significantly good chance that one of the former Soviet nukes (or, other nation but, nations tend to hold onto them very tight whereas the USSR kind of imploded) has fallen into the hands a hostile group.
