According to the new book "Osama's Revenge", by Paul Williams, who was interviewed by Linda Vester yesterday, Bin Laden purchased 80 suitcase nuclear bombs from the so-called Russian Mafia. Furthermore, he says many of these bombs have already been smuggled into the USA and are dispersed around the country. Given their love for syncronization, there won't be any warning, but rather dozens going off at the same time all over the country.
A rather frightening thought. People in Israel and the UK are also major targets, obviously. Williams goes on to say that he has confirmed all of this with various nations' intelligence agencies including USA, UK, Pakistan, Russia, etc., but that our government, and the media, will not tell the truth as they are afraid of what it might do to our economy, stock market, etc. There is also fear of civil disobience as Arab-descent persons may become victims of mob violence and persecution.
Williams feels we will come under nuclear attack, most likely this year, but definitely by next year.
Of course, he is trying to sell his book so his motives are questionable. Also, if Bin Laden had all these bombs, why hasn't he used any of them yet. One nuke, regardless how small, would surely result in more fear and press than hundreds of beheadings and car bombs. But I wondered what you all thought about these claims.
*******
The UN along with the Soviet military tried to inventory these "suitcase bombs" and only found half of them.

From the Publisher of the book:
Former consultant for the FBI on organized crime and international terrorism and a seasoned investigative reporter, Paul Williams reveals the potential for nuclear terrorism on U.S. soil in this shocking exposé. Based on the findings of U.S., Israeli, Pakistani, and U.K. intelligence, Williams describes how the theft of tactical nuclear weapons from Russian arsenals have in all likelihood made their way to al-Qaeda cells throughout the United States in preparation for the next terrorist attack.
Williams presents evidence showing that, in the chaos following the demise of the Soviet Union, the Chechen mafia got their hands on portable Russian nuclear weapons. Between 1996 and 2001, they negotiated the sale of twenty nuclear “suitcase bombs” to representatives of Osama bin Laden. According to Williams, reliable sources indicate that these bombs may already be in the possession of al-Qaeda cells in New York, Washington, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Houston, and Los Angeles. In addition, bin Laden has recruited former Soviet scientists and technicians to maintain these weapons and recharge their nuclear cores so that they may be deployed immediately on his command. In 2001, he issued a statement boasting of a “Hiroshima” against America.
Also included in the book are bin Laden's "Letter to America" and his "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places," as well as the World Islamic Statement declaring "Jihad against Jews and Crusaders." These crucial documents highlight the rationale behind and the depth of bin Laden's hatred for the United States. Moreover, Williams documents that Osama has the international network of embedded terrorists to carry out his threats.
Although the media have reported on some of these threatening developments and government insiders have acknowledged the threat of nuclear attack, no one until now has put all the pieces together in a coherent, no-nonsense way. Williams makes a persuasive case that Bin Laden and his deputies have the motive and the means and are waiting for the right opportunity to launch an apocalyptic attack against the “Great Satan” of America.

I would suggest taking out Chirac would do America good if not better than Saddam.
ROFL!!!
Now that's really funny...
That's when the Whitehouse was equiped with "Dual Air Bags!"
I posted something similar on June 30th, after the author did a local radio interview, at 6am, WSBA-910 AM:
"20 to 40 Tactical Nukes Already in The US?"

He sure sounded convining; really upset my day.
Baw...hahaha!!!
Tis good to laff! Specially when we consider the seriousness of the subject of such a book!!! We might as well "die laffin" as from "strokin out" over this scenario!!!
Wasn't he the guy who wrote "Werewold In London" and recently died of lung cancer?
I'm sure that thought has run through the minds of many on FR...
I haven't read the whole thread, but I would just point out that there are three or four or more respectable conservative book publishers now--two situated at major houses in NYC--and this book was published by Prometheus, in Amherst, New York, near Buffalo. That doesn't mean it's not a good book, but one wonders why the big guys wouldn't take it (if it was offered).
MEMO to self: Use the spellchecker, moron.
That's the problem! Hatred of the successful is impossible to stop and is human nature amongst third worlders, government unions and Demonicrats!
Why do you think "Thou shalt not covet," is in the Ten Commandments, along with "Thou shalt not steal" (the government hates competition???)
An enemy with navys, and armies fights in very different ways. They cannot simple plan an attack in two weeks and send in their airforce. 911 was years in planning and they pulled it off almost perfectly. If not tactic nukes, it'll be something most haven't thought of.
It's enough to make one's hair stand up, as I read about trucks packed with hundreds of illegal aliens, that cross our borders routinely, most never being detected.
Think about how easy it would be, to enter America from the corrupt country of Mexico, where law enforcement can be bribed with protitutes or small amounts of cash. Trucks with unknown loads are entering as we speak. Think about that.
2nd MEMO to self: Read your own Post #110 several times before anymore posting occurs.
There are 1000 reasons to disbelieve these reports.
Still................let's assume these theories/"reports" are true.
There is only one response to head this off. One.
We get word to Osama (and I believe our government can do just that) that if one NBC weapon is set off on our soil, we go nuclear immediately. Initial targets: Mecca and Medina, closely followed by Cairo, Damascus, Tehran, and Riyadh. No questions asked, no warning, no quarter. They're gone from the map like "that". We have retargeted our sub-based missiles, and there's not a go**amned thing they can do about it. We will destroy the roots of Islam, and then declare open season on Muslims.
.....and I don't even want to hear about "harsh" or "repercussions".
Shipping containers on freighters and oil tankers are far scarier. Even conventional weapons loaded into one of these large ships could do serious damage to Any Harbor/City USA and would be virtually impossible to detect.
I doubt for example a nuke could be detected buried in the bottom of a large oil tanker full of oil.
There are many harbors/oil terminals located next to large cities.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAUUUUUUUUUUTIFUL!!!!! A long time coming!
The bombing begins in five minutes! -- R.R.
When I saw him speak on FoxNews, this man is about 70....... and I swear he was sweating and quite nervous and irritated explaining the situation. He DID NOT look like a guy who was shilling for a book!
I hope I'm wrong and he's wrong, but times are dark!
LOL
Your obsession with Sharapova is looking like an obsession. LOL
Yes.......... obsessions are most usually obsessions.
Seriously......... really........ I just love a fresh, honest, candid, intelligent girl with a great life story, a love for her parents...........and great LEGS and a wonderfully expressive face!
Yoi!
To me, the world needs her now. I'm 57 and I have no illusions, but she is a darling, and I pray for her well being!
But thanks for noticing my obsession! ;)
