How many movie clips of OBL will it take to make him appear again?
This pile of human excrement, "OBL" would use nukes if he had possession of one, if, and that is a big if he were alive and, as sick as some claim him to be he would have already pulled it off as so he could observe the damage.
I haven't seen any positive proof he is alive and, I am not saying he is either dead or alive, it's just many things written of him doesn't make sense. Whether he is alive or dead is not relevant now, he started a movement that can exist with or without his presence.
Yeah...the Planet of the Apes guy! Dr. Zaius, I think!
If Osama has nukes, it's only because he's glowing in the dark...
If he has them, he'll use them but don't make the mistake of thinking he'd rush out and use them right away. Al Qaeda is patient, if nothing else. If they have something like that they will wait for the exact right moment and do years of training and preparation leading up to the attack.
HE's dead Jim
Actually, he played Virgil in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. He was also in a movie called 'phantom of the paradise' which is a pretty good film.
I see your point. Al Qaeda and OBL are patient. But I don't think they have nukes. Nukes are not something you can just put in a locker or bunker or "cache" and sit on for months or years just to be "patient". Nukes, due to the natural decay of the radioactive material are dangerous just lying around, and require frequent maintenance and component replacements just to keep them "usable".

Elvis Bin Laden: "I'm better when I move."
Early morning alligator crawl on Fox had it that Russian and American experts had found a large cache of nuclear material in someplace...Ukraine? that had been reported missing.
There is and was a lot of non-weapons-grade nuclear material around the ex-USSR, there were even little nuclear "generators" that made heat out in the woods to power equipment. I think most of it was not usable to build a nuke, but merely nasty, toxic stuff that could be used to build a dirty bomb.
Didn't catch details about whatever nuclear material they'd found, though. 'Dirty bombs' that fit in a suitcase...enough to scare you to death. This new policy of letting people take small scissors and knives on planes didn't make sense, you had to know something was missing. Like logic. Then, the other day they finally said airport screeners needed more time to look for IED's. That's reassuring. Not.
I'll sure be glad when they capture that guy. </StatingTheObvious>
Farah doesn't want American cities to be destroyed. Rather, he likes to warn Americans about the dangers of AQ terrorists who have nuclear weapons and would like nothing better than to use 'em. Quite a few FReepers think that Farah is basically exagerrating the possible threat. The reason why some say he "prays" for that is because he keeps warning us again and again.
And without tritium refuling in the last couple of years, they've got paperweights at best, fizzles at worst.
just an old fasioned terrorist threat . . .
Well if you say enough different things, one of them is bound to turn out right...
And that's when they discover that their patience, training, and preparation let the nukes decay to the point where they don't produce a nuclear yield.
Nuclear weapons are extremely perishable, and require periodic maintenance that involves removing and replacing decayed components that aren't exactly available at Radio Shack or Fry's.
