Barack woke in a cold sweat quickly realizing it was just a dream and at that same moment less that a mile from the White House a Green Van pulled into a small parking lot and a clean cut dark-skinned young man exited locking the door behind him then turned and walked to a waiting car. Barack turned over and went back to sleep the dream was over, but the real nightmare was only beginning.

TOTUS Blog: ATTACK: Washington D.C. Nuked

A nightmare indeed!

Unlikely to happen? I certainly hope so. A possibility none the less.

I hear some folks talk about a *suitcase* bomb, a nuclear device in a briefcase, a one man attack with a *dirty* nuke, and every time I hear those folks expound on the most unlikely scenario imaginable, I get a good laugh and call in my cousin that really is into nuclear stuff to counter the less than informed about the affects of a *dirty bomb* and it’s being brought in via *suitcase*.

A vehicle borne nuclear device IS a possibility.
