Nice thought, but you do realize, don’t you that our pResident will not, under any circumstances, authorize release of ANY nuclear weapons?

Something seems not right here—why would the guy be bragging about a failed bomb? If it had detonated and done damage, then I could see it—

"The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.

They didn't expect it to fail. They expected to be celebrating.

You were saying ...

Well, I can assure you that neither would Bush authorize the use of any nuclear weapons under this circumstance either...

Just think about it for a minute. We endured 9/11 and President Bush never authorized any nuclear weapons to be used in that response. This is nowhere near even a "blip" compared to 9/11.

It would take something a whole lot more than 9/11 to get nukes to be used... As to what that would be? Perhaps some weapons of mass destruction used on several big U.S. cities at the same time. That would probably qualify.

But, the other problem you would have is how to use nuclear weapons on a widely dispersed terrorist group that occupies many different countries ... and that is a big problem.

Take a close look at this paragraph ... it has the answer ... and also the proof that it was a Taliban device...

The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.

Well, you know how the Jihadists (holy profile, Batman!) are. They’ll brag about anything to cover up their *ahem* inadequacies. Jealousy is all they know. “My (insert noun here) is bigger/better/stronger than yours is!!”

That might be a popular sentiment with some posters on Free Republic -- but -- I can assure you that you will never get either a Republican or a Democrat President to do that.

You can leave that one for your dreams ... :-)

Take any one or all of the GOP candidates for the last election and the prospective ones for the next election, and even President George Bush (and even the prior Bush, and even President Reagan) -- and you'll never come up with one that would even so much as suggest or hint that...

Well, we at least know Obama cries at funerals, is a comedian, and is going to clean up the oil spill.

Pakistani Taliban Claim Credit for Failed NYC Times Square Car Bombing

What does it say about an organization that is so quick to claim credit for colossal screw-ups? "We're the Taliban! OK, so maybe we aren't smart enough to get the bomb to go BOOM, but aren't you even a little bit intimidated?"
