| Dick Cheney: U.S. Will Suffer 'Far Deadlier Attack' Within Next Decade |
| 2014-06-25 |
| [Huffpoo] Former Vice President Dick Cheney offered an extremely morose prediction about the country's future on Tuesday. Asked on the Hugh Hewitt radio show whether he believes the United States could survive the decade without another attack on the homeland, Cheney said, "I doubt it." "I think there will be another attack and next time, I think it's likely to be far deadlier than the last one," he added. "Imagine what would happen if somebody could smuggle a nuclear device, put it in a shipping container and drive it down the Beltway outside Washington D.C." Cheney should not be faulted. He's thinking worst case, outside the box. His and Bush's fault lies in not lining the Memorial Bridge with the heads of the FBI and National Intelligence Agencies immediately following 9/11. |

| #7 No enemy of the US will ever nuke DC, New York, Boston or any other big city. Why do us a favor? |

| #5 Keep building a list of deep blue cities. Karma at work. Too late for Detroit, probably be classified as urban renewal. |

| #4 San Francisco? Quite unlikely. The terrorist message will no doubt be focused upon the creation of long-term negative effects. |

| #3 Naw, I'm thinking those intent on hitting us where we hurt would go for some place with a message. Because Obama's drone policy is a particular irritant to the Taliban, etc., I would expect the next big hit to be in either Chicago or San Francisco. Of course if we do have a huge catastrophic terrorist attack here, it would be Bush's fault you know. |

| #2 Apparently he thinks nuking DC is a bad thing. |
