...good thing for the world that Hitler's crowd or Stalin's did not discover this atomic bomb. It seems to be the most terrible thing ever discovered, but it can be made the most useful." The question of how to deliver and drop atomic bombs on Japanese soil had been thoroughly studied at the highest U.S. government levels well before the test in New Mexico. A list of prospective targets had been drawn up, with an emphasis, as Groves later wrote, on "places the bombing of which would most adversely affect the will of the Japanese people to continue...
...weeks. An allied force of up to 83,000 would spend as many as 22 weeks on the mission. However, only about half of those troops -- and some 10,000 of the 25,000 Americans expected to be a part of the plan -- would actually set foot on Bosnian soil.

...they have the opportunity to grab everything." The only hope, he declares, lies in inducing the conspirators to act prematurely, before their confederates in the Federal Government have managed to completely disarm the Patriots. "If we are lucky, we can get them to move too quickly." War on American soil is probably inevitable. "Did I say it was going to be a short war? Did I say it was going to be an inexpensive war?" Koernke asks. "Absolutely not." He ends with the slogan "Death to the new world order...
