Al-Qaida nuclear attack in planning stages

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

Losers don't "improvise" anything. They buy it, when financed by their supporters, the richest revenue producer on the planet, Saudi Arabia.

Surely, if they can purchase unlimited quantities of the most efficient explosives (which they can't produce themselves), buying a nuclear device (and their caretakers) or two is only a matter of time...

[Publius6961]

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

Tell that to the 3000 victims of the twin towers...

Or the 1946 victims of the Madrid train bombings...

Wouldn't "Retarded Whale" be more appropriate?

[Spktyr]

Perhaps they’ve been either 1) having problems constructing one, or 2) finding a loose Soviet one that will work.

[TOneocon]

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...

Also all the left.

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

I am not sure what you mean. While it seems unlikely that a nuclear weapon could be slapped together from odds and ends, one might well improvise the acquisition of a nuclear device, or improvise a dirty bomb from any nuclear material that might come to hand. Frankly, I don't see the wisdom of underestimating the threat. You can deny the possibility that such a thing will happen, and rest peacefully until the day it does, but then it will be too late.

As to what would we do the day after, I am afraid we are so politically divided and confused that we will do nothing; we will not retaliate against anyone. There will be lots of talk, lots of grieving, and lots of anger, but nothing will come of it. It would (or will) take multiple such strikes before the general public begins to put our security where it belongs, ahead of everything else.

Nah... Jimmah Carter will make the rounds and say "I come in peace, brother" and all will be well.
And then build them a house..

My “liberal” friends and relatives simply will not believe this no matter what evidence is presented to them.

I think this is the ultimate goal of the Muslims and that they are insane enough to do it.

I just hope that if this happens we have a President with enough manhood to retaliate totally on Islam and the middle East.

I’d give them a warning that if any nuclear device goes off in the US that the middle East and any and all Muslim countries will be GONE the next day and that we will have teams of hunter killers that will hunt down all the leaders and their families of every Muslim country, no matter where they are and kill every single one of them ASAP.

[LibWhacker]

Never happen. Too many goody two-shoes in this country who would rather put us all perpetually at risk than end the threat.

[Names Ash Housewares]

The Obama defense plan.......

“As to what would we do the day after, I am afraid we are so politically divided and confused that we will do nothing; we will not retaliate against anyone.”

I heard Michael Savage say that a military coup in this country is a possibility. I’m beginning to believe it and think that it might be necessary if someone like Hillary or Obambi is ever elected POTUS.

I believe in revenge, vengance and retalition. It’s the only thing that some people understand and fear.

This country was born in armed rebellion, perhaps it’s time to consider it again if push comes to shove and our survival is at stake.

Deposing before a Congressional Committee on Homeland Security early this week, these US intelligence officials told US lawmakers that the threat of nuclear attack by the Taliban was growing and there is need to enhance its security measures.

Empowering an internal police state will do nothing thing but weaken us. Where do they find people like this?

Seal our borders, empower the militia to identify and detain enemies within, deport Muslims who commit any form of sedition, and kill the enemy by the cheapest means possible.

[Americanexpat]

Depends on who is in office, don't forget all those those people and politicians shouting “They only attacked us because we wronged thjem crowd!”. America is not being led by the same men we had in the past that would stand up and defend this country. Of course the exception lately has been “W”.

[G8 Diplomat]

And just where is al-Qaida going to get their nukes? Iran? Pakistan?

[Gorzaloon]

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

With or without Government's involvement.

[KevinDavis]

I don’t think a military coup will happen here, however, if it does happen it is wrong no matter who is President....... That is why this republic has been going on for a long time.

[RightWhale]

We have been facing the threat of total thermonuclear annihilation since the 50s. It is not possible to get cranked up over some pissant improvised dilettantes’ radiation contamination.

[gitmo]

After the nuke attack, Pres. Obama’s preacher will tell us it was our fault.

[wastedyears]

Don’t forget Medina

[stevie_d_64]

You disagree about the erradication, or that it’s not a good thing???

(Note to BSR, see this is how I should have approached you on that last little misunderstanding we had...hehehe)

Muh bad...

[wastedyears]

W isn’t giving it 100%.
