Default OT Will BushCo invade Vermont??

I would think that, seeing how he hasn't found his WMD's in Iraq, even
though he's spent billions upon billions of dollars to do so, that
maybe he could just get the army to invade Vermont:

(04-22) 09:35 PDT MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) --

Engineers at a Vermont nuclear plant searched Thursday for two missing
pieces of a highly radioactive fuel rod while experts acknowledged
they may never be found.

The operators of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant reported the
missing pieces Wednesday, saying they were not where they were
supposed to be in the large pool used to store fuel rods.

One of the missing pieces is about the size of a pencil. The other is
about as thick but is 17 inches long.

The spent fuel rods are highly radioactive and would be fatal to
anyone who came in contact with them without being properly shielded,
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan said. Spent
nuclear fuel could be used by terrorists to construct so-called dirty
bombs that would spread deadly radiation with conventional
explosives.............
