I'm sure they'll use fertilizer, amonia, anything else they can get their hands on.

HOWEVER, I do NOT believe that they would forego the more dramatic and much more devastating fissionable nuke if they can pull it off.

They are for MAXIMUM DEVASTATION, DESTRUCTION OF OUR LAND AND WAY OF LIFE AT ALL COSTS AND BY ANY MEANS. THAT IS THEIR MENTALITY ABOVE AND BEYOND VIRTUALLY ALL ELSE. THEY SEE US TRULY AS THOUGH WE WERE SATAN, TO THEM.

Please avoid losing sight of that fact.

Haven't lost sight of it...but I do have a keen eye on their tactics and strategies. Their methods of attack are exceedingly low-tech. That raises their chances for "success" (in their twisted minds).

Take some time to review their previous attacks (whether committed or aborted). You'll find none of them are of the scale or sophistication feared in this discussion.

In order to defeat al Qaeda, we must frame our scenarios in the same limited fashion they do. And as I've pointed out before, none of it is more technologically sophisticated than what we had in the 1930s.
