In a just concluded debate and press conference, author and FBI Consultant Paul Williams and Jeff Epstein of "America's Truth Forum" reveal they have been advised by Pakistani journalist and Bin Laden biographer Hamid Amir that Al-Qaeda will use smuggled nukes against the US if the US takes military action against Iran.
Amir established his credentials by correctly predicting that Egypt would be hit by terrorist action a full two weeks prior to the events of last week. Amir, a Pakistani journalist, has been in contact with high ranking Al-Qaeda officials for several years.
The debate (between Richard Miniter and Paul Williams) and press conference were webcast LIVE by Rightalk.com. Audio files of both events will be available for downloading by this afternoon.
Go ahead bud - 45 minutes later the Middle East will be a smoking crater.
"Given that nuclear radiation is that detectable, and that we're looking for it, it would be an enormous risk for Al Qaida to leave smuggled weapons unused in the U.S."
Since 911. What if they were smuggled in before? What if they were walked across the border in the desert somewhere? What if they are sitting in a garage in Duluth?
Advocating that nukes *could not get across the border* is simply putting your head in the sand.
I agree. and I'll say more, Until we stop treating this like a police operation and start treating it as a war, we are not going to win it. There are no " innocent civilians " in a war. We won ww2 in part because we nuked 2 Japanese cities, taking out a lot of non military persons. Some of these mid-east "civilians " are hiding and harboring some of the terrorists. Our civilians were attacked on 911, I personally believe in retaliation in like kind.
May 1st?
Do they think there will be anything left of their religion after our response?
I dont see how Right Whale or I are posturing that we not fight them. What we are pointing out is that if you destroy their religious sites you will make the problem worse.
There are 1.6 billion muslims on the planet. Lets focus on the sects that are radical.
So you're saying Texans will respond to a nuke attack in Dallas by killing all the Muslims inside Texas? Hmmm.
What if the nuke attack is in New York or LA?
Who would take a chance on shipping even one if the odds of discovery are so bad? All it would take is one discovery and this country would be turned upside down right now. The only serious chance they would have is to ignite it still aboard ship in the harbor. Coordinating even one would be a challenge, not to mention a number simultaneously, and it would have to simultaneous because there wouldn't be a second opportunity, ever.
You said -- "If the same people who planned and carried out 9/11 had access to nuclear weapons...is there any doubt they would have used them? Hell, they wanted to kill upwards of 20,000 people, and might have if they hadn't miscalculated."
You're right -- they *planned* and then *carried out* the plan.
So, they're "planning" and they're going to "carry out" the plan.
No difference. Same thing...

"Some of these mid-east "civilians " are hiding and harboring some of the terrorists."
Some. Some.
Let's kill everyone...only way to be sure, right?
No doubt about it, you are a plant.
I think you are right. I just looked at his sign up date.
Thanks TS for pointed that out to me.
1.2b, at most. The question is, do the rule us? Can they get away with endless atrocities?
We have to take a stand to rid islam off the planet. The best way is to prove their allah sites are fake.
My logic also contains the idea that we should have kicked their a$$es yesterday.
Been there, done that. They need something more spectacular.
It'll be ugly, trust me. I bet it'll be a mess up north too. People are going to rise up against islam.
You said -- "What good does taking out their holy sites do? You think once we do that the one billion Muslims around the world are going to say, "I guess America was right and good after all"?
You have to understand their mentality. They *believe* in their symbols and how important they are to their "religion". If you destroy the symbols and show, by force, how weak and impotent their so-called god is -- they no longer will trust in that religion as "truth" and they will abandon it as ineffective and false.
They are the ones who "put stock" in these symbols. That's why they were intent on destroying *our symbols*. You see..., that's *their thinking* -- and not necessarily ours. So, they thought by destroying our "symbols" they would destroy us -- precisely because they know that is what would destroy them.

A plant, such as anyone that's against islam is a plant? Was FDR a 'plant'? Was Truman? Was anyone that recognizes the enemy, and wants it to be dealt with, a 'plant' to you?
100 nukes? What are the chances they would get just one? One in 20?
What if they were walked across the border in the desert region of Arizona or Texas? Who's going to catch those?
