It is impossible to build a nuclear weapon without fissile material,’’ he said. ...

You mean the stuff the Iranians are working on?

I really wonder if they realize that if they nuke us, Islam will be erradicated and muslims the world over will be decimated. That’s not a good thing - it will be a bllodbath the likes of which the world has never seen - but it is what will happen...

Not if we have a President B. Hussein Obama.

In that case every BBQ joint in the country will be ordered to stop serving pork — and the wearing the hijab will required of all women.

Wellllll... You *can* improvise an *atomic* device - see “gun-type” atomic devices.

All you need is the fissile material. And Iran has some.

Nah... Jimmah Carter will make the rounds and say "I come in peace, brother" and all will be well.

Hahahahah......

All joking and Red Ryder jokes aside, a gun-type is the easiest to make. Couple kids in my high school actually made one (without fissile material) for their senior science project.

Serious nuclear professionals scoff. Alqaida or Taliban or whoever dilettantes they are do much better in the MSM than in reality.

“You don’t ‘improvise’ a nuclear devvice. Dead give-away this is a spoof article.”

A “dirty bomb” could be considered an improvised device — they “just” spread nuclear material all over a major city and contaminate it for years.

IMO-I’m surprised they haven’t used one already.Why build a nuke from scratch?With AQ’s financial resources-i find it hard to believe they couldn’t simply purchase one(or more)nukes from a corrupt official in the former Soviet Union.From what i’ve read i understand the security at some of the storage facilities isn’t exactly top notch.Same with biological/chemical weapons.

This insinuates that Iran is in on it.

Agreed. Nothing will persuade the world to eradicate Islam more than a nuke attack on ANY city - American or otherwise.
