Why? Far fetched scenario maybe but plausible. Certainly not worth a personal attack.

I agree.........this scenario, while a bit over the top, is exactly the thing our gov't could let happen. I am actually worried about the end of Ramadan, this Friday! Top taliban have already telegraphed that something big will happen, and have warned muslims to leave the US. The American Al qaeda from California has also said we must convert to islam or be destroyed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they are just idle threats, but to minimize the threat that radical islam presents is a fool's game. Nuclear weapons proliferation is ushering in a new era, and I for one, am not confident that our country can protect us from this threat.

The failure of many Americans, including many of the leading Democrats in Congress, and some Republicans, to fully appreciate the persistent, long-term threat posed to America's liberties and survival, and to the future of Liberal Democracies everywhere, by an Islamic Resistance Movement that envisions a world dominated and defined by an Islamic Caliphate of religious totalitarianism, and which will fight any war, make any sacrifice, suffer any hardship, and pay any price to achieve it, may prove to be the kind of blunder upon which the fate of America turns, and falls. Very true words...and when one contemplates the Red Chinese and their complicity (IMHO) in the current geo-political situation with every current and potential belligerent we face, the news only becomes bleaker.
We need a Ronald Reagan and the will of the American people to call the evil empires what they are and stand up to them now, both econimcally (even if it hurts) and militarily.
Otherwise, some drastic scenario will befall us at a time and a place of our enemy's choosing. Either one like this (which BTW could never happen without Red China's knowledge and consent IMHO), or a more conventional one like the one I have posited.

But the end of Ramadan was yesterday. Eid follows Ramadan. Like May 1st follows April.

In 1996 or 97, I recall reading an article in a magazine that described a terrorist attack in the form of gassing an NBA playoff basketball game in Indianapolis. I was standing at a newsstand somewhere or other. My brow furrowed as I struggled to comprehend the logic of what I was reading.
The article mentioned several different terror groups, and several names (including Osama bin Laden). The arena had been gassed by someone who had access to the HVAC system in the arena, and, of course, it was done on national television.
And, as did millions of others, I dismissed the article as the fanatical tinfoil rantings of a lunatic. Little did I know what was in store for the nation a few scant years later.
Attack not the canary. Just pay attention and be prepared. The dates do not matter. The details do not matter. What matters is that the bad guys are still out there, and though we don't hear all the details, the battles continue to be waged.
Iraq is window-dressing. Don't neglect to see the forest for the trees.

The author apparently does not understand that small nukes are much harder to make than large nukes.
To: Blackrain4xmas; ANGGAPO
Maybe you are out of your mind as ANGGAPO says. But I did like the story, and found it at least as plausible as Tom Clancy.

The author apparently does not understand that small nukes are much harder to make than large nukes.What you do not understand is this scenerio does not depend on large nukes with lots of destructive power.
The story is not talking about a single nuke that could destroy the city of Washington. He is talking about a small nuke that would destroy the White House. It takes two more nukes to get the capital building and the pentagon.
Making big nukes small is hard. Making little nukes little is not nearly so hard.
