A report is just out that tells us there is a threat from, of all things, 'WMDs' being used within the next ten years.

Sounds like George and Carl are at it again. This report though comes after thirteen years of study, at least that's what the article says.

In 1991, in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union, Republican Lugar and former Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn initiated a program to combat the proliferation threat posed by former Soviet states.

In an introduction to the report he commissioned, Lugar said the success of that program proves the spread of WMD can be stopped by building "extraordinary international relationships."

He said establishing a "worldwide system of accountability" for WMD could prevent terrorists from acquiring such weapons.

"Even if we succeed spectacularly at building democracy around the world, bringing stability to failed states and spreading economic opportunity broadly, we will not be secure from the actions of small, disaffected groups that acquire weapons of mass destruction," Lugar said.

"Everything is at risk if we fail in this one area."

What gets me about this information is that we spent probably millions of dollars of our tax dollars allowing this study to continue. "There is a high risk of a nuclear attack from a rogue state within the next decade." It took someone over ten years to reach this conclusion. The point is that anyone following the events of the world would reach this conclusion without this study!!!!!

That's not the scariest part though. Lugar doesn't say anything about suggestions for HOW a system of accountability is established, but the 'we' sounds too much like we here in the United States. He doesn't say it, but the only way I can see this happening is if we have a HUGE part in controlling most of the world........
