Does anybody think they won't if we don't?

How many times is this "smuggled nukes" nonsense going to be predicted?

If al-Qaeda had the capability to use nukes in the US, they would have already used them.

Their top people are getting picked off, weekly. They're losing strength. They're done in Iraq.

al-Qaeda may be TRYING to secure nuclear weapons or dirty nuclear material, but they don't have it. Read Richard Miniter's book!!

Until he gets it right or people finally ignore him enough to make him go away.

Why is that a valid argument. The "if they had nukes" why wouldn't they use them" is crazy! P. Williams shot that argument down. It is all about planning, coordination, and getting them in the country.

Also thy have to follow Sahria Law. Thy must get essentially the "blessing" or the go ahead from a cleric or a number of clerics to OK the slaughter of innocent, non-combatives. They also must allow for a truce or submission. If this is ignored or refused the attitude is "well we covered all of our bases. The West has no one to blame but themselves." Kind of like the last few tapes that were out.

The people in charge are not stupid-yeah, real fun to poke fun at-but not stupid and very, very fanatically religious. Not a great mix.

The "would have used them if they got them" is wishful thinking, head in the sand approach. They play by a warped, disgusting set of rules...and it seems like those have been met. If I hear the admin say "we have them on the run" one more time when a tape is released...!

I think our guys know much more and are trying not to panic the country and the markets.

"My fellow Americans, Osama has nukes and we feel he will use them.." That will go over like a turd in the Punch bowl!!

How many times is somebody going to have a book to sell or a website that needs more hits?

Are you as SURE about this as I was about IRAQ having WMD? [Which was 100% by the way]

In any case pre 911 the thought of the TWIN TOWERS being brought down, the Pentagon being hit and the foiled attempts on the Capitol Bldg and WH, there is NOTHING I would not believe AQ being capable of doing.

It doesn't make sense but then again NEITHER did Saddam lying to his own Generals about having WMD.

IMHO we must take ANY threat with a much more believable attitude then we used to.
