AM: Could you change the header to place the original title: Apocalypse Now, or Alottanukes Soon in for indexing purposes?

"Seven nuclear heads have already been positioned on American soil, before September 11, and they are ready to be detonated.

The above came from the link - I'm not sure I believe this. If these nuclear heads were placed here prior to Sept 11, then I would think they would have already been detonated.

Our best stategy is to immediately round up every Muslim in the country, and send them back to the sandpiles they came from.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

Would these terrorists be so cocky with their boasts if they knew that as the first bomb goes off here, there will be retalaiation that virtaully anilalates every Arab/Muslim city in the world? Would they be so boastful about their distruction of America if they knew they and their families and their countries will not be around to enjoy the aftermath?

The USSR once made similar boasts about wiping out America and taking over the world. It was the knowledge of our power to retaliate that kept them at bay and finally brought them down. Perhaps the terrorists have heard too many bleeding-heart-Berkley-types spouting nonsense and theink that we do not have the guts to retaliate if it meant killing off whole countries. Perhaps it's time we did some threatening of our own.... its the only thing these creeps understand.

Taliban thinks it knows how to rule in a wasteland. I guess they figure if they make the world a wasteland, they could then rule it.

As typical with control-freaks, they'll try to drag it down to the level where they can control it.

They are all willing to die.

How can we help? And when?

Al-Usuquf starts by criticizing Washington's disrespect of the Kyoto Protocol on climatic change, the International Criminal Court and the Palestinian cause, as well as the "financial greed" engendering speculative gains over Third World countries. He also criticizes the manner in which America wastes wealth, like US$80 billion a year on gambling. "They [have] lost the notion of spirituality and only live in sin." For this reason, America must be destroyed...

The really interesting thing here is the sight of the IslamoSchutzStaffel openly climbing on board with the global left. It's the Axis of Unwashed Evil.

[joesnuffy]

Each of the Russian bombs would have cost around $200 million. Al-Qaeda was able to raise the money "because we have many sponsors. Many countries sponsor us, and also some very rich people." And not all of these are Arab countries. "Some European countries as well are also interested in the fall of the US." As to the "rich people", they are "people who are also tired of seeing the US bleeding the rest of the world."

CAIRN - great bunch of lobbyiests..and a good bunch of boys ..we just love them Islam is a relgion of peace y'all know and most Americans know that...millions of peacefull hard working family mulsims..

Saudi Arabia...once of our raunchiest staunchiest allies in the war on terror..a great bunch of guys over there..we just love em to death...did I mention Islam is a religon of peace..

"The American economy is an economy of false appearances," says al-Usuquf. "There's no real economic weight. American GNP is something around $10 trillion, but only 1 percent comes from agriculture, and only 24 percent from industry. So 75 percent of its GNP comes from services, and most of it is financial speculation. For someone who understands economics, and apparently America's Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill does not, or cannot, the US as a whole behaves like an immense dot.com, and dollars are its stocks. The value of stocks from a given company is directly proportional to its profitability. When a company only provides services, but does not produce goods, the value of its stocks depends on its credibility. What I'm saying is if US credibility is affected, its stocks - the US dollar - will fall at tremendous speed, and the whole American economy will collapse."

I'm not sure I believe his claim about the nuclear weapons, but his analysis here is quite discerning - and troublesome.

[DaisyCutter]

Al-Usuquf says that al-Qaeda's Kuwaiti spokesman, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, and bin Laden himself, suggested that he grant the interview. Bin Laden, he says, is "alive and healthy, along with his commanders Mohammed Atef, Khalid Shaik Mohammed and Mullah Omar".

Hmmm... I thought the Kuwaitis arrested Ghaith.

Atef was confirmed killed in an airstrike.

And why no mention of the egyptian doctor, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Bin Laden's #2 man?

[fivecatsandadog]

"with the caveat that the identity of the man has not yet been confirmed, nor has his membership within al- Qaeda. "

This guy sounds like the obnoxious spoiled brat who threatens the entire school yard with every type of bean-shooter he can think of. He paints a scary scenario, but I think it's pure BS. He claims to know about all of the weapons and details of the plan but doesn't know when it will happen? Or won't admit it. And where's the usual praise to allah?

"and the whole American economy will collapse." and the rest of the world's economy with it.

War on Iraq could trigger an Armageddon, says daily (BARF) is also a fun read ;)

[Jim Noble]

>>And whatever America does, "it's too late"<<

Unless we do this:

GET 'EM OUT!!!

Cancel all visas from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Pakistan. Give holders of cancelled visas 48 hours to report for internment and repatriation.

Turn INS Interior Enforcement over to DOD. Begin arrests of any holders of cancelled visas immediately upon expiration of the 48-hour reporting period.

Begin military action against non-visa holding nationals of the above countries. Execute any males from the above seven countries aged 17-50 apprehended without papers or evading pre-repatriation detention.

GET 'EM OUT!!!

[doc30]

But it will be too late. Moreover, what will remain of an American soldier's morale to fight knowing that his whole family died and his country ceased to exist? To fight for what?"

The guy has no understanding of the U.S. After being nuked, every American man (except the girly-man, cowardly pacificst) would do whatever they could to help this nation. The outpouring of patriotism after 9/11 was incredible and that was in a situation where there wasn't a whole lot the average American could directly do in the aftermath because the terrorist attacks were in just two cities. Americans did do the very best they could through donations of money and blood to relief organizations and the local people put their lives on the line to find survivors. If whole cities were devastated, that patriotism would manifest itself in the greatest show of fellowship, support and help this nations has ever seen. Nuking would galvanize the U.S. in ways never seen before. The world of Islam could never conceive of the holy hell they would experience thereafter.

Al-Usuquf says, "We have more than 500 first-rank and 800 second-rank [operatives] inside the US." "First rank" are considered ones that have lived in the US for more than 10 years, most of them married with children. "They have an idea about the plans, and they are just waiting for a call." "Second-rank" operatives arrived in the past five years and "have no idea about the plans". They are all willing to die.

John Ashcroft, you know what to do.

[Man of the Right]

Until the Islamist ideology and the people who espouse aren't around, this country has no future.

[Hanging Chad]

"...what will remain of an American soldier's morale to fight knowing that his whole family died and his country ceased to exist? To fight for what?" ..."

The autohor obviously never heard of R-E-V-E-N-G-E.

I would not want to reap the whirlwind of the US Military
with nothing left to lose.

[LonghornFreeper]

What this man obviously does not understand is the sheer number of nuclear warheads possessed by the US. If they actually could somehow implement their plan, after the first or second nuke hit this country, the US government would have no choice but to rain nuclear fire on the entire Islamic world. If the US government failed to do this (say if Hillary or Pelosi was President) they would be overthrown by the American people and the new government would give the launch order. We might theoretically lose 10 or 15 million people, but Islam would be utterly destroyed, and most likely would never rise again.

Shows what they don't know about Americans.

There is an Arab guy who moved into our neighborhood in the summer of 2001. He drives a taxi, and other than leaving for or coming back from his work, we almost never see him. His yard is full of weeds, and he keeps them cut down enough so that the local city hall doesn't bother him. He won't talk to anyone, and all of the blinds in his house (every window has blinds) are kept closed 24/7. Sometimes I wonder....
