I'm wondering how liberals can laugh this off. Seems to me that the same people now scoffing at any such threat would have busted a gut laughing on Sept. 10th at "any such threat" of 4 planes loaded with jet fuel, being used as deadly missiles aimed at the WTC, US Capitol and White House. Read below..........then continue to laugh, if you can. Paul Williams must be just another "nut," maybe like Brian Sullivan who hand-delivered (APRIL,04) proof TO JOHN F. KERRY, that planes from LOGAN AIRPORT were about to be used as weapons against cities in America! Kerry ignored the URGENT! marked on the material given to him by Sullivan. Which one was the "nut?"
Osama's Revenge: THE NEXT 9/11: What the Media and the Government Haven't Told You Hardcover – 261 pages
Does Osama bin Laden have nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction? Is so, where are they? Are they in the hands of al Qaeda sleeper cells in the United States? Should Americans be bracing for a nuclear attack?
Former consultant for the FBI an organized crime and international terrorism and a seasoned investigative reporter, Paul L. Williams reveals the potential for nuclear terrorism on US soil in this shocking expose. Based on the findings of US, Israeli, Pakistani, and British 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 clear evidence showing that, in the chaos following the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Chechen Mafia got its hands on portable Russian nuclear weapons. Between 1996 and 2001, mafia members negotiated the sale of twenty nuclear "suitcase bombs" to representatives of Osama bin Laden. Far worse than so-called "dirty bombs," each suitcase bomb is capable of killing millions of Americans while exposing millions more to deadly radioactive fallout. According to Williams, reliable sources indicate that these bombs may already be in the possession of al Qaeda operatives in such major cities as 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 his intent to have America experience a "Hiroshima."
Also included in the book are bin Laden's "Letters 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, until now no one has put all the pieces together in a coherent, nonsense way. Williams makes a persuasive case that bin Laden and his deputies have the motive and the means and are just waiting for the opportunity to launch an apocalyptic attack on the "Great Satan" of America.
Bumping and bookmmarking this.
The problem I have with the question of Bin Laden having nucs is why haven't they used them yet? Why let us keep killing them and confiscating their funds and agents? Seems to me he would have used them as soon as possible after 9/11. I believe that while possible he could have them I also believe it is improbable.
They did. There were op eds written by former Clinton staffers laughing at the threat of terrorism in the US printed just a month prior to 9-11. One these guys was even heavily involved in Move-on's lame attempt to have Bush impeached.
Having read the technical description of the maintenance required of such a device, any coming out of the old Soviet Union would by now fizzle.
I understand that the content and shape of both the fissile material and the chemical explosive charges degrade and must be maintained rigorously. Such maintenance is virtually impossible without a full state-sponsored nuclear lab.
We got problems, no doubt, but Russian Suitcase Nukes are probably not worth losing sleep over. I would worry about the Iranians.
This from the same "news" organization that's been hyping the military draft and Cheney must go stories. Major credibility problem. Like they don't have any.
Same argument has been posted before. These suitcase nukes don't last long once manufactured and are not like what you see in the movies.. They could use dirty bombs yes, homocide bombers yes, ...but I doubt nukes.
America! Be strong. Be Strong. Your great President is good help your great President. Grom will help America, Poland will help America. contry that like America will help, no no no, I close my eyes know what America will do to evil persons that attack great country America.
And Gosh, they're selling this guy's book, so therefore it's credible, and anyone who doesn't think it is is an idiot.
It's the same as CBS and Viacom and Clinton's book. They're just shilling for it.
Not only that, but they would show up like a lighted flare on the radiation monitors now installed nearly everywhere. Nukes are the least of our worries.
Who's Grom?
Fear mongering at its worst. If you believe this nonsence go live in a fallout shelter. There are NO suitcase bombs! Its a myth. If old Osama had em--he would have used them up by now. He doesn't have time to sit on them. Now, that doesn't say he's not planning on a big attack--But it will be something like the last one--use our own stuff against us. Take over a nuclear plant and let it melt down, Take over a chemical plant and blow toxic gas into the air, or crash a Gas truck into a high rise or Vegas casino. They will use what's at hand and not bring in Nukes. That will take planning. They may even go back to airplanes as weapons. Who's to say they don't rent a lear jet (they got money)--load it with "Photographic equiptment" (explosives) and have a pilot crash it into something symbolic? There are so many ways to attack us that do not need Nukes.
Not to be a wide eye paranoid nutter. But...it could be a possible explanation that they bought "fizzled" ones on the black market, and have just now gotten the support from Iran/N.Korea/China/France to rebuild them. Then the timing is about right.
I'm not losing sleep over this however.
What good info contained in this article is lost due to the absurd "bin laden has nukes in America already" bs.
Pity.
GROM (Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego which translates to Operational Mobile Response Group) is a Polish elite commando group that is assisting us in Iraq. Very interesting info at the link on that group and how they are key to the victory in Iraq.

If Williams or NewsMax has proof of "suitcase bombs" in the hands of ANYBODY AT ALL, it is their solemn duty to their country to present it forthwith, and not use such claims as a LOWLIFE TEASE to sell a silly book.
Jeesh, are we all supposed to be idiots out here, or what?
"homicide"
This is the most common comment or criticism of this scenario.
I do not think it holds up becuase the same criteria or logic, when applied to 911 does not hold up. They easily could have done 911 earlier. Before 911 one could have made the same argument. If one said, "they are living here and will hijack airlines and crash in to the WTC or Pentagon." Using your same argument one would answer -- if they could they would have done it by now.
But they showed patience and diligence and waited for a corrdinated strike where they were successful in hijacking 4 planes and hitting targets with three of them.
Whether they have suitcase nukes or the ability to use them if they possess them is questionable. But to say they would have already used them, therefore they don;t have them does not hold up given their prior history. If they do have them they will wait for a coordinated strike.
Wait, that's Gram.
Nevermind.
Sounds awesome. Thanks for the info!
