Six months ago, Truman wrote about the aftermath of the apocalyptic claims of Paul Williams, who spent 2005 riding around America, visiting every inn and talk show to spread the news that there were certainly between 20 and 50 nuclear suitcase bombs smuggled into the United States and given to terrorists, who were sitting, ready to explode them in cities all across America at any moment! “Such an attack would come between now and the end of 2005″, Paul Williams warned.
Many kooky right wing Republicans, always eager to use fear to twist America into loops for the sake of political convenience, picked up the message of Paul Williams and helped spread it even further. Among those was the emotionally unstable Congressman Tom Tancredo, who tried to make a big name for himself going around pushing Paul Williams’s ideas.
Well, here’s another 6 month check up. Those nuclear bombs set to explode by the end of 2005 still haven’t been deployed.
Tom Tancredo is now running for re-election in Colorado against Democrat Bill Winter, but gosh, I just can’t find anywhere in his speeches where he’s still talking about the impending doom to be delivered by the 20 nuclear suitcase bombs. Does Tancredo now just pretend that he never went along with that conspiracy theory?
I’m not in Colorado, but if I were, I’d love to go to one of Tom Tancredo’s campaign events and ask him, “Where’s the bomb, Tom?”
“Where’s the bomb, Tom?” I love that phrase. It just rolls off the tongue, it sticks in the mind, and it is worthy of an answer. Just the thing for a bumper sticker:
There were some nuclear suitcase bomb stories floating around years ago associated with smuggling from Russian submarines. After the cold war was over, someone actually discovered one or more bombs had been snuck into the U.S and were gathering rust. As I recall, they were officially returned to a representative of the Russian governmnet.
uhhhh bull$hit
Paul Williams surfaced yesterday on the Michael Savage radio show. It is 7 bombs in 7 cities and the triggers are only now just waiting for a “signal” to be detonated.
