Romney gets dirty bomb threat wrong

In his Boca Ratan "I have a smear" speech Romney says we can't let Iran get enriched Uranium because they will give some fissile material to terrorists who will bring it to Chicago, say, and use it to blackmail us with a threat of a dirty bomb.

But fissile material DOESN'T WORK in a dirty bomb. A dirty bomb will not work with Uranium!

Romney is an ignoramus on this topic. And he is willing to go to war based on his erroneous views.

He's clearly mistaking a small fission bomb for a "dirty bomb."

It is remarkable that so little attention is given to the truly awful foreign affairs and national security credentials of the Republican ticket - and the fact that their advisers tend to be the worst of the discredited neocons!
