You ought to read SOMETHING because you don't have a knats idea of what your are talking about.

Your article is pure crap because fissionable material in suitcase nukes must be replenished every six months. That fact alone makes storing and maintaining nuclear devices extraordinarily complex and costly.

At the most extreme, al Quada has some nuclear waste that can be spread as poison with a conventional detonation.

Bin Laden Has Both Suitcase Nukes and Training

You forgot the "ten-truck missle."

"What other reason do you think they have had for keeping Bush and Cheney more than a bomb's blast diameter away from each other?"

This is the part that has me wondering about the validity/possibility of some of these seemingly 'crazy' stories.

Yawn

Bin Laden has several Nuclear Suitcases

I think it's time for him to pack them...

LOL!

Seriously, the bottom line is that "suitcase nukes" need regular, highly sophisticated maintenance. No maintenance, no earth-shattering kaboom. That said, it's possible that bin Laden has gotten hold of radioactive material with which to make a "fallout bomb" (ground-up isotopes mixed with ordinary explosive to contaminate an area) -- nasty, but nowhere near as bad as an actual nuclear bomb.

Bin Laden has warp drive.

Then he had better use it to find himself another planet to live on.

Just like the mother of all wars that lasted hours. Hate to underestimate an enemy but really,a friggin flea bag freezing and starving while he hides in a cave.

Thinking about this, bin Laden has one more thing -- the notion that, if he can drag it on long enough, the American public will become sufficiently scared/war-weary to let him go.

Whether it's his ace in the hole or the mismatched card in a four flush is up to you, folks....
