Radiation poisoning is a rather poor way to defend yourself from invaders.
Sorry, not following?
Well, there was a minor incident involving a stolen nuke, and now Cairo is slightly unsuitable for serving as a capital on account of being a glowing pile of rubble. The Muslim Brotherhood would repair it, but they're too busy with more important matters like killing those who won't accept their rule.

OK right. Really need to re-read the thread as I had forgotten that. Sorry.

Columbus, Georgia May 26, 2008
"Ain't she a beauty?" the clerk asked as the old man examined the gun. It was a Browning Hi-Power 9MM pistol.
Technically, the old man shouldn't have even been able to purchase a gun-people with criminal records weren't supposed to be able to purchase gun laws. However, the near-total abolition of gun control laws in Santorum's America meant that retailers were no longer obligated to perform background checks on customers. If the clerk had performed a check on the old man with the Browning, he would've found a very sordid past indeed.
As he continued to inspect the pistol, William Calley thought back to that terrible day in Vietnam 40 years ago. The day over 300 Vietnamese civilians died on his orders because he had lacked the moral fiber to stand up to his superior officer. He had tried to deny it, tried to pass it off as one of those terrible mishaps that happen so often in war, but he could not escape his own remorse. It almost seemed like a cruel joke that the Army let him go free after just four months imprisonment.
But now, he saw a way to redeem himself. For the past three years, Calley had watched as President Santorum turned the country he loved into a repressive nightmare. But now he had a way to stop it. Santorum was visiting Columbus the next day, and Calley was gonna give him a 9MM welcome. He didn't care what happened next, so long as Santorum was gone and America could go back to being the Land of The Free.
William Calley paid the clerk and left with his new gun.
THE NEXT DAY
Calley watched as the presidential limousine pulled up to the Mott House. Santorum had chosen the historic building as a venue for his next campaign stop.
As President Santorum emerged from his limo surrounded by Secret Service agents, Calley rushed forward and squeezed off two shots. One hit Santorum in the abdomen, the other slammed into his forehead just above his right eye.
The Secret Service agents immediately retaliated, striking Calley multiple times. As he fell, the last thing William Calley saw was President Santorum twitching on the ground...

Good to see this active again. Could also be coming into the end of a very grim period for the US depending on what Santorum's supporters do next. Appropriate in a way that his own policies on further restricting gun laws led to his downfall.

Ye Gods, I just knew something like this was going to happen very soon... All of Santorum's repressive and criminal actions finally got someone fed up enough to gun him down - I can only imagine the uproar that's going to occur next, especially when it comes out that it was William Calley, the convicted soldier of My Lai Massacre infamy, that put a 9MM bullet through Frothy's brain!

Yeah, the only other AH story to feature Calley literally has him raping and murdering a young boy.
People tend to forget that William Calley wasn't a raging psychopath, but a guy who ended up in a position WAY beyond his level with tragic results.

Thus was the case for many young men who were sent to Vietnam - they ended up getting put into positions that were beyond their ability to deal with and the results were in many cases tragic.

SANTORUM WOUNDED IN COLUMBUS GA
Wall Street Journal May 27, 2008
President Santorum was seriously wounded in an assassination attempt in Columbus, Georgia.
Santorum was visiting the Mott House-the headquarters of General James H. Wilson during the Battle of Columbus in the American Civil War-when he was shot in to the stomach and head. The gunman was subsequently shot and killed by the Secret Service.
Columbus police have identified the shooter as 64-year-old William Calley Jr, best known as the leader of the US Army platoon that committed the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War in March 1968. Calley's family could not be reached for comment.
President Santorum is currently in critical condition in St. Francis Hospital in Columbus. Vice President Lott has assumed the role of acting president until Santorum recovers.

GUAM SECEDES FROM UNITED STATES
The Telegraph June 1, 2008
In a stunning move, Guam has declared independence from the United States of America.
The Legislature of Guam voted 10-5 in favor of secession. Speaker Michael Cruz cited Santorum's "bald-faced contempt for American democracy" as the reason for the secession.
Brigadier Gen. Phil Ruhlman, commander of the USAF 36th Wing stationed on Guam, has thrown his support behind the secession vote, stating that "America under Santorum has gone from the Land of the Free to a theocratic hellhole".
Acting President Lott has denounced the vote as "high treason".

Well that could have some nasty fall-out. The fact the military commander has stepped in like that opens him to the charge of some sort of coup.
Also making allegations like that never go down well, especially when their true.

At this point I don't think anyone in Guam gives a damn whether it's high treason or not - they've simply had enough of Frothy & Co.'s insanity. I can see things turning even uglier in the United States if the military attempts to prevent Guam's secession... it may cause more territories to secede in response - perhaps maybe even U.S. states like Hawaii or Alaska might decide to follow suite?

Well if Hawaii went independent/rebel and took the Pacific fleet with it then it would be bloody difficult in the short term for Washington to do anything about either it or Guam. Unless they channeled their inner Kim and launched a missile attack which would be likely to cause a lot more unrest in the US and either the quick removal of the government or a disastrous and very bloody civil war.

The legislature of the Marianas voted 12-8 in favor of independence. Governor Benigno Fital is currently engaged in talks with acting President of Guam Robert Underwood to unite Guam and the Northern Marianas. Oh hell yeah, as I predicted, the chain reaction of U.S. territories seceding has begun, now let's see just how acting-POTUS Lott & Co. handles this situation... with all the crap that's happened to precipitate the U.S. Pacific territories' secessions, they're going to have to tread carefully or risk disaster... If Lott gives the Pacific fleet stationed at Hawaii the order to go in and crush the rebellion, it's not going to go down well with a lot of Americans, particularly amongst certain members of the Pacific fleet who will be expected to do the crushing. There could be a situation where parts of the Pacific fleet simply decide to ignore the acting-POTUS's orders and stay put, leaving the rest of the fleet to put down the rebellion their own... unless Hawaii's state government decides to follow the example of Guam & the Northern Marianas and secede from the Union - then the Pacific fleet could be facing a situation where parts of the Pacific fleet throw in their lot with Hawaii, which could lead to fighting and death amongst the Loyalists and the Mutineers... Of course, the whole damn Pacific fleet could decide they've had enough and join up with Hawaii if it does secede, and if that happens, god only knows how things will happen next...

Well that's possibly a good sign, that they haven't gone for the shed-hammer yet. Both to avoid it getting bloody and it gives more time for the initial pebbles to develop into an avalanche.
