Colombian FARC Terrorists: 50 kilos of uranium for Dirty Bomb?

    The Colombia military have found evidence on a captured laptop that the FARC were planning to sell 50 kilos of uranium.

    A dirty bomb could be smiuggled into a US port by drug runners.

    Where did the FARC plan to get the uranium? Is it coming from Iran via Venezuela?

    I think it is coming from your spooked mind Bogard.

    It might be an idea to have 170,000 troops protecting your ports rather than fighting an unwinnable BS "war" out in a country that most Americans do not even know where it is, let alone care about. ;)

    Remember, "They hate you for your freedom!" LOL

    The Colombian army has 250,000 troops against 172,000 combined for both Ecuador and Venezuela.

    We don't need 170,000 troops guarding the ports. Beefing up the Colombian airforce and armor will due the trick to counter the Soviet equipment that Chavez has purchased.

    dude, seriously, they "have found evidence on a captured laptop" ?!?!
    Come on man, WTF, the terrorists were keeping their diary on that laptop? "I'm feeling pretty down lately mr. diary, my gf left me and my mom didn't make my favourite kind of pie. BTW, I'm going to sell 50 kilos of uranium for dirty bombs"

    The laptop belonged to the FARC leader. Most terrorists use the internet to communicate so it makes sense that the details are on the laptop.

    Laptops and internet communication ....... terrorists are keeping pace with modern technology.
    I am afraid of the day when terrorists will have elite hackers and technology specialists among their ranks.

    Maybe they already have ?

    No I didn't think because I was 9 when it happened...

    I just give my opinion.

    And my opinion is that the US is paranoid.

    Paranoid is good for business. It keeps the price of oil at $100 instead of $25 and sells arms. :D

    The only problem is that people like bogart go and see those movies and they will believe it as the truth. :)

    If a nuclear bomb reaches our ports isn't it a bit late, regardless of how many troops you station around the port watching containers being unloaded.

    Maybe if your around the nuclear fallout zone, maybe then you'll believe that there are people trying to kill us.

    Outside of the first attack on the world trade centers in 93, the bombings our of African Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, The Khobar towers Bombing in Saudi Arabia, The USS Cole Bombing, and 9-11. U.S Citizens have really nothing to fear right? Its all paranoid.

    The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.

    The only way there will be a big attack on your country is if the corrupt people controlling your country want it to happen.

    Forget the Boogeyman please I feel sorry for you.
