Mecca or Medina will be the first strike target, we'll take a deep breath, and then once NEST and the rest have submitted their preliminary data, the country that supplied the material will lose a number of cities equal to the number of cities we've lost. Then someone will kindly request that said country unconditionally surrender within a few hours.

It is the worst scenario that anyone can conceive of and I think it is not just highly unlikely, especially the concept that terrorists would actually get ahold of a functional nuke, but that they would use it on us vs their own favorite targets (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc.) It would not shock me if they themselves blew up Mecca to 'inflame' the Arab world.

The way these folks twist everything, you can't even begin to guess what they might do. Toss in the wacky North Koreans whom we keep feeding and the powder keg gets a fuse.

Wishful thinking, we need the oil, and we have American oil companies with billions invested in Saudi Arabia. There would need to be a very localized nuke if there will be one - can't harm the infrastructure, and need a new leadership to boot!
