judicial meanz, HipShot and others had a discussion on this a couple of threads ago. I think they purchased cold war era suitcase nukes from rogue elements in the CIS. These weapons were already on our soil, but not near the targets AQ thinks are vital to their goals. It's worth it to them to take the time and the effort and the planning and security needed to make this happen as they envision the event, because they are obeying the "Will of Allah" and so to their minds, they will be protected until the time of the attacks. IF they pull it off, they have reduced this nation from being a super power to a feeble piece of real estate vulnerable to occupation by all manner of ummmmm "friends" eager to offer help!

Thanks. I'm just wondering if OBL and AQ have a master plan like fly planes into towers in 2001, place nukes in US 2002, attack Saudi Arabia 2004, attack Italy/Europe 2005, etc. essentially take over the world for Allah, OBL will run out of maneuverability eventually, baring any help from CIS.

If suitcases are not near their targets, they need a team of nuclear technicians to come into the US to verify that they still work and make modifications/fixes; all the time that is needed to place the suitcases on the target gives the US more time to squeeze informants, research AQ and OBL, create defenses, etc. Since maneuverability is decreased for AQ, the weapons need to be buried before 911. As time moves on, AQ is being capture (including in the US) and info is being released to our intelligence (hopefully). If this is the final plan which would come to a head in the election of a US president I see a slight problem. If they are currently interested in take over the world for Allah and destroy the "infidels" they are definitely running against time. If this is a long war that takes decades and bombings occur when everything is just right for the bombing teams, then OBL will have problems with his world domination. He can't make a detailed plan into the future since things change almost daily, for instance, did he think of the Spain incidence or did he find an opportunity and tried to exploit it. It may be that the only master plan may just be look for strategic situations then making plans for the next 5 years.
