If Al Qaeda or any terrorist org had functional nukes, they would have used them already.

The whole point of nuclear weapons in the hands of stable states is their deterrence factor.

In the hands of terrorist orgs, they are of no value unless used.

I think these lowlifes are full of crap......they are acting like a bunch of losers talking sh!t at a ghetto corner dice game......

Jeez, what the heck you got in here?

Al Qaeda bluffing about having suitcase nukes,

This is a non-story. Just ask any liberal or former klinton admin official, they seem to know who is dangerous and who is not, who has weapons and who does not, and who is evil and who is not.

FYI - Your analysis on the al-Qaida No. 2:We Have Briefcase Nukes thread is supported by these experts.

If they had one, Mohammad Attah would have used it instead of airliners. If the litte fat Dr Zawari bought something from a "Soviet Scientist" its most likely some radioactive material inside a nicely made fake warhead.

Russians are smart and poor, Al Quada are stupid and rich. Similar market forces drive the booming trade in fake Icons from the former S.U.

Al-Quaeda bluffing about having testicles. These people give cowards a bad name.

"He said the suitcase nukes have a lifespan of only one to three years because some of the materials, such as the battery and the conventional explosives that produce the charge that sets off the nuclear reaction, deteriorate over time and must be replaced. Otherwise, he said, they become radioactive scrap metal."

I tend to agree. I mean, we all forget that al qaeda 2 MO's in the US were 5 guys on planes with freaking box cutters and a truck bomb in NYC.

9/11 worked b/c there was no precedent. That will never work again...sorry, it won't. They blew their load that day (and were sadly effective in doing so) and even such, by the time the 4th plane was flying over PA, their plan was foiled.

F al qaeda and their stupid violence for the sake of violence. if they had nukes of any sort, we'd have seen something by now... this is not to say that they can't get them from a rogue former Soviet state. It's time to put some resources there and start cleaning up that stuff. (easier said than done, i realize.)
