A different scenario

Another concern is the supposed missing 80 suitcase nuclear weapons which may be in Islamic hands. Another "what if": we have a Progressive "Hugo Chavez in a pants suit" as President. We have the simultaneous detonation of 20 nuclear weapons in 20 different cities with historic loss of life. We have crowds in every Islamic country dancing in the steets with joy.

What would such an Administration's response be? My guess would be Congressional Investigations of the Homeland Security apparatus, Kangaroo Courts to crucify the unfortunate officials upon whose watch the attacks took place. But the attacks themselves would be considered "our own fault" in the way the Progressives now treat the attack on 9-11. There would be NO RESPONSE against those responsible or even a consideration as to who they were!
