Re: At the moment, the al Qaeda is contained . . .
The problem is that, although they are now concentrating on personal survival in Afghanistan, there remain the global tendrils that reach to the pods we have yet to have isolated. Security around nuke facilities in the US has fairly trebled in the past few weeks, but what about the old Soviet republics and China? Are their silos secure from breach, and are the launch codes inaccessible to marauding terrorists?
What would be the U.S. response to a captures ICBM being launched from, say, Kazakhstan, or the Mongolian highlands?
