Accordingly to the following Al Qeda already has nukes in the U.S. ready to go off. How many of you think this is believable?
I’m sure they wouldn’t wait to set them off…
To the contrary. Al Qeda is clever. They are patient. Why can’t we find Osama? Everything seems to have been planned out in advance. They are just waiting for the opportune moment which coordinates with their master plan.
Well, I just think that if they have nukes in the States, they would set them off before they are found.
Opportune moment?
I agree with irishstu… if al qaeda had the ability to set off nukes in the US, they would do so in a heartbeat. What exactly would be opportune or clever about waiting?
And its too bad that we have to wait for a nuclear device to go off in our country before hacks like Ted Kennedy are discredited and liberalism gets nuked over night (pardon the pun). This is the risky game that libs play when siding with the rhetoric of the terrorists and joining the chourus of “America is first to blame”. They risk making their Starbucks ideology irrelevant overnight. We are eventually going to get hit with a blast that will kill millions of Americans and send the world into a depression that will make the Great Depression look like a joke. Liberalism won’t have a place then. Liberalism is what you get when one neighbor has so much disposable time on his hands that he spends it minding his other neighbor’s affairs. You won’t have a lot of free time in a post nuclear blast economy, especially to hang out with your buddies at Starbucks to talk about how much you hate Bush, Rove, Cheney, Halliburton, and tall Texas oil men in cowboy boots. You’ll be fighting hard to feed yourself instead.
If some guy named fruitcake says it’s so then, by god, it’s got to be true.

It’s mentioned in the article: aquiring several bombs and carrying out multiple and simultaneous detonations in major cities, which is something that requires long, careful planning and isn’t executed in a heartbeat.
“With a name like fruitcake, you know its got to be good.”
Hahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Eh Um - Mildred, my fruitcake please!

Yeah the article also mentions that this has been in the planning stage for 10 years or so.
Like I said, Al Qeda is patient and has the resources to plan their strategy and wait for the opportune moment. As Clauswitz strategized one of the most potent weapons in your arsenal is the factor of surprise.

That would no doubt be horrific.
However, I doubt that doing so would further their goals at all. In fact, I think they would be stopped once and for all. Here is what would likely happen in such circumstances:
- Much (if not most) of the so-called liberal population of the US would be killed or otherwise incapacitated.
- Our military would be left intact.
- In our rural areas, home to our generally more conservative (and some would say less tolerant) population, our less tolerant population would be alive and highly motivated for revenge.
- Any individuals of ME descent left in the US would be killed by those less tolerant American citizens left alive.
- The US would retaliate on the ME region in a very, very indiscriminate manner…
Sand would be turned to glass. What kind of opportunity would that present?
It’s inevitable.
Endless religious warfare + weapons of mass destruction + suicidal zealots = armageddon.
It may be the gospel according to fruitcake but it’s also the gospel according to every wise man from Warren Buffett on up.

So… Bush was right to go in to Iraq? I mean, no matter how big a mess you think Iraq is now, it must be better than armageddon, no?
This Williams guy wants to sell his book through scaremongering. His claim of 40 nukes is a real whopper. I mean, one or two would be enough to sell the book, no?
If this were true, why wouldn’t the Chechen’s use them themselves?
If any of this were true, why wouldn’t we have heard at least whispers of it from reliable media sources?
I’m with irishtu and TM. They would do it quick.
I’ve also tried not to click on this thread since it first came up. Damn, had to do it in the finish.
Sounds like habitual “scare the population” nonsense that the white house releases to the media who carry the propaganda.
Oh, bush please save us from these rag heads.
Dirty bombs and all that crap…
If they had nukes, then the CIA would have aquired them for whoever is suppossed to have them.
The CIA like to work with terrorists of all persuasions and they are working with some in Iran right now.
Who benefits from the press release?
The government does.
:bravo: 
bodo
This link from today’s Yahoo News jives with the story. Yahoo accounts as a ‘reliable’ source, I assume.
news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050717/ap_ … volunteers
It doesn’t mention nukes coming over, but it does mention drug smugglers and drug smuggling -the types of organizations (MS-13) who supposedly helped get the nukes across. Also mentions how porous the US-Mexico border is and the (former) Minutemen volunteer group who are out there patrolling it right now. It’ll be ‘game over’ soon.

If Bushes first priority had been preventing this sort of thing from happening in the US there are a lot better things he could have done than attacking Iraq. Like putting more resources into finding Osama Bin Laden, or putting more resources into eradication of the heroin business in Afganistan (perhaps by giving them a guarenteed market for other crops). He could have pushed Israel to compromise more in their negotiations with the Palestinians. He could have kept Osama Bin Laden’s family in custody after 911 rather than escorting them safely out of the country at a time when no other aircraft was allowed to leave the ground. :loco: Actually he could have stayed the heck out of Iraq and spent the 87,000,000,000 USD in lots of ways that would have been more productive than invading Iraq; but that would not have done much for his friends and relatives in the oil guzzling war monger business so I guess the rest of the world can just pay the price.
