Reply #184: For all the Doubters

There are three telltale signs of a nuclear explosion vs that of regular ordinance.

1. A very bright flash
2. A rising column of fire
3. a mushroom cloud.

To anyone who is interested I suggest renting the movie "Trinity and beyond".

Someone posted earlier that a mushroom cloud alone does not mean it was nuclear. That is correct.
HOWEVER, all three together is almost certainly a sign of a nuclear explosion. This one was probobly about 1 kiloton, maybe less. It looked almost exactly like the footage of the 1kt bomb tested at Able Ranger in Nevada back in the 1950s.

I am not convined there were actually 300 casualties. If there were that would be huge, but that base is in a relatively isolated and unpopulated area of baghdad.
Even if there were not casualties, this is still a big story, especially before the elections. The Republicans know this and it lends motive to the idea of a coverup.
