FBI's Mueller: Bin LadenWants to Strike U.S. Cities with Nuclear Weapons
Ronald Kessler Tuesday, May 15, 2007
Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group desperately want to obtain nuclear devices and explode them in American cities, especially New York and Washington, D.C., FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III tells NewsMax.
In a wide-ranging exclusive interview, Mueller also acknowledged that bin Laden is still active, though isolated. The Director revealed the Bureau believes the terrorist leader continues communicate with al-Qaida cells, some of which remain in the U.S.

But I read on FR that Bin Laden has been dead for years? I am so confused!
Ha ha ha. Dead man talking?
Didn’t Paul Williams say exactly this 3 years ago, and was ridiculed as a tin foil nut?
Fixed. There is moral outrage over putting panties on the heads of terrorists. And forget Heroshima - America, Democrat or Republican, wouldn't have the the political will for even Dresden redux (assuming the responsible nation or nation supporting the responsible group was identified), even if New York was hit with a Big One. Look at the ROE around mosques! In today's political/cultural climate, every hour of WWII would generate a "scandal", speak of "atrocities" and calls for resignations of brass and the arrest of soldiers. And for what? To win an international popularity contest, or to appease the bobble-heads on CNN? Or in a vain attempt to disprove the universal truth that the only humane war is a lost war?
Unfortunately, even if you took all the balls in Washington and combined them into a single pair of frankennuts, there still wouldn't be enough testicular fortitude to even threaten to bomb Mecca (I can think of a few America-first Washington outsiders though...), NYC nuked or not.
And I want it to be clear that it is just a thought of my own, and for discussion purposes only.
But I’ve often wondered,if it comes down to it, and a nuke is set off in America....
Will some patriotic American, who is sick and tired of all of the politically correct BS, take it upon himself to sacrifice himself for his country, and return the favor, by nuking Mecca, in retaliation for an attack on American soil?
Do you think?
Worth repeating.
Success against the left in this country may be more daunting than defeating terrorism abroad. Death to what it means to be an American seems to be enjoyed by both. Why not (?), neither the jihadist nor liberal repspects indidual freedom and liberty. Burkhas of different colors.
Newsmax has a reputation of unreliability, although I can’t remember any specifics.

“Ha ha ha. Dead man talking?”
I don’t believe he is alive either!
You've got about 1500 million muslims vs. 300 million Americans. About 5 to 1.
We should be fighting terrorism with terrorism, not on the ground in a police-action going house-to-house in a nation building effort. The only way they'll respect us is for us to become the biggest "terrorist" on the block.
When your enemy respects only power, you shove it down their throat. Call it the "three for one" plan, in honor of our troops currently being held hostage. You'll not only get their respect, but attention, too.
If we piss them off enough, they might even form an army and put on uniforms- making it easier for us to acquire targets.
The only question I have is: How long before they become the world's greatest oil exporters while exploiting other technological advantages that may accrue from a defeat, followed by modern reconstruction (see Japan).
I’d be willing to bet you could scratch off Tehran, Damascus, and the Pakistani tribal territories off the map within an hour of it happening.
Finally. You know how long I have been waiting to hear that?
Bin Laden is long dead....
But both sides (the Bush Administration AND the Islamonuts) have a vested interest in ‘keeping him alive’, for different reasons.
But I have no doubts that Zawahiri is working very hard on seeing U.S. Cities hit by nuclear devices.
If he’s alive, which I give 50/50 odds that he is, he has wanted to nuke us ever since he learned what a nuke is.

Even Al Qaeda is not that dumb.
BUMP
Mark Steyn’s been saying it for years.
I read a lot of Mark Steyn but I’ve never read that from him. Must have missed those articles. No wonder I have always liked him.
where’s Slim Pickens when we need him...
