The unthinkable -- perhaps the inevitable (Nuclear Terror Attack)

"At that time, we reported that Allied Forces would be unlikely to discover any WMD stores, noting, "Our sources estimate that Iraq has shipped its nuclear WMD components -- including two 'crude nuclear devices' designed to utilize U235 cores -- through Syria to southern Lebanon's heavily fortified Bekaa Valley." In December 2002 our senior-level intelligence sources re-confirmed estimates that some of Iraq's biological and nuclear WMD material and components had, in fact, been moved into Syria and possibly Iran. That movement continued until President Bush finally pulled the plug on the UN's ruse. "

Good analysis and info.

SAUDIA ARABIA SECRETLY WORKING WITH PAK EXPERTS (ON NUCLEAR PROGRAM!)

The Jihadist may well get a device onto or over our soil or in a harbor for detonation at some point.

But like Bush said, 'who are you with' ie; we will find the Jihadist supporting state and target them.

For without the state support, the Jihadist would not accomplish his mission /perhaps with 9-11 being a partial exception/

"we will find the Jihadist supporting state and target them."

I just hope it's going to be per the Bush doctrine of pre-emption, not as a retaliation.

Iran and Syria are major dangers.

I bet we would have already effected a "regime change" in Iran by now, if it weren't for the anti-war sentiment whipped up in the US by the terrorist loving Democrats.

Iran Test-Fires Missile Able to Duck Radar

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1607096/posts

Iran's military said Friday it successfully test-fired a missile not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously, a development that raised concerns in the United States and Israel.

The Fajr-3, which means "victory" in Farsi, can reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East, Iranian state media indicated. The announcement of the test-firing is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's military intentions and nuclear ambitions.

//I just hope it's going to be per the Bush doctrine of pre-emption, not as a retaliation//

Being that Bush is a man willing to spend his political capitol, I will give him that. And he has given his pledge, he is a man of his word.

And that has to give us a much stronger place in this WOT. However that still does not 100% insure us from attack by the suicidal muslims that want to see the nuclear armageddon. Agree?

W.

[FairOpinion]

Yes, I agree.

There is no way to insure 100% certainty of not having an attack.

I think it's almost a miracle and a testimony to our effectiveness in the WoT, that we haven't been attacked again since 9-11.

I think that's the author's point too.

[Bon mots]

When the attack comes, I hope that we have the cojones to take out Mecca, Medina, Damascus and Tehran as a response.

[justa-hairyape]

The burning question remains, were any of Saddam's nuclear components, in whatever state of readiness, acquired by al-Qa'ida?

That is why the 'No WMD' claim is not only wrong, not only stupid, but it is also extremely negligent.

[RunningWolf]

Yes in the asymmetric WOT we are in now, MAD is not the answer but TAD is(their assured destruction).

Also X out all dirty bombs. Chemical weapons etc, they might try to pull off if they thought the 'bang' was enough and they had the network setup to pull it off. That would be tough though I think.

If they do get a uranium bomb, I think they will will try to get it over one of the east coast cities in a civilian airliner.

[TeddyCon]

And I hope we have the the cojones to send all of our moonbats their before we do.

Maybe tell em' we won't and to go do their "spirit of diplomacy" thing there.

[TeddyCon]

their=there. grrr.

[JennysCool]

I certainly hope the entire Arab world knows that if anything nuclear is perpetrated on the West, their "culture" is about as viable as last year's cancelled situation comedies.

[FairOpinion]

I think they are counting on the oil to save them.

Another reason we should drill in the US, ANWR, coastal waters, etc., so they wouldn't be able to blackmail us with it.

It is my opinion that we are already in WWIV ( WWIII being the Cold War ) and there are two, somewhat interlocking elements to it:

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

( PS- my personal prediction? That picture will become one of the most widely distributed, and most hated, pictures on the internet. The Illegal Invader lobby could not have done more damage to themselves with that "Mexican Flag Superior, America in Distress" photgraph if they had tried... )

[TalBlack]

"The Fajr-3, which means "victory""

Golly, isn't THAT name for a rocket delivered bomb familiar!

It says a lot about who these people are.

[Erik Latranyi]

The Jihadist may well get a device onto or over our soil or in a harbor for detonation at some point.

While the Jihadists want that, they may never be able to do it.

Let's suppose the Jihadists have 2 dirty bombs in Syria or the neighborhood. Why would they take the risk of smuggling those into the US (the risk is loss of the weapon, if discovered) when they could use them against Israel.

Don't get me wrong. The threat to our soil is great and we must do more to enhance our security.

However, if the above report is true, it will be Israel that gets attacked first....probably with the help of Hamas.

Are you stocked up on your nuclear winter survival supplies? Yes, it has long been predicted that a final, catastophic WAR will occur but satan's days are numbered, take comfort in that as you shiver in the cold...

[RunningWolf]

You could well be right on that one.

[Kozak]

I think they are counting on the oil to save them.

it won't be hard to redrill the wells through a thin layer of fused sand in "New Texas" if the need arises....
