Certainly al-Qaeda has the will to attack the US with nuclear weapons and just doesn't yet have the means. More likely would be attacks using "dirty bombs" conventional explosives laced with radioactive materials that would bring wide spread panic rather than massive destruction.

What al-Qaeda fails to understand is that even a milquetoast President Obama could not simply capitulate to terrorist demands after such an attack and would be compelled by the American people to act decisively. One immediate result of such an attack would be armed citizens (thank God for the 2nd Amendment)defending their homeland by shutting down mosques and Islamic centers and rounding up all Arab nationals for deportation or internment.

you’re not banned yet for saying that? (Not that I disagree at ALL by the way).

I’m just surprised someone hasn’t removed the comment yet.

rounding up all Arab nationals for deportation or internment.

What's the point of that? I guess you meant Muslims. Most Arabs in America are Christians. Most Muslims (if that's what you meant) are converted American blacks who can't be deported anywhere. Sizeable numbers of foreign Muslims are from Pakistan, Indonesia/S-E Asia and Africa (all non-Arab). Persians and Turks in America are mostly un-islamic secularists.

Of course then there are Saudis and other actual Arab Muslims. Deportations however should be made on the basis of Mosque/organizational Affiliation and not merely national origin. Deport the Wahabbis, Salafis, anyone associated with CAIR and organizations affiliated with terrorist groups.
