I'm not being smug ... just realistic. They wanted to kill as many of us as possible ... they made that clear. They wanted to wreck our financial and military institutions and leadership ... and they tried and nearly succeeded.
If they had a nuke on 911 they would never have had a better time ... now we are warned, awake, alert and loaded for bear. If they had them then, they would have used them ... no doubt in my mind about that.
If I was smug, I would probably believe that there is no way they could ever have them or hurt us that way. I do not. I know that they are trying and will use them if they can get there hands on them and get them in place.
I pray they do not ... I also pray we are prepared if they do.
... by the way, you seemed awful smug about my perceived smugness ... LOL!
Love your fun response. Perhaps you are right about my smugness.
But it seems plausible to me that the string pullers behind the scenes--probably the ones who facilitated their acquiring nukes in the first place--may have made it abundantly clear that they would not be used until they were told to.
Also, I've read convincing docs in my other hobby research topic that the sequence of threats was designed, planned way back in 1970.
That first stage, there would be a huge and devastating increase in terrorism against particularly the U.S.
Then 2nd stage there would be another war with Iraq. Some say with that war literally bleeding into WWIII.
Supposedly after that will be a supposedly trumped up fear mongering about evil ET's out to conquer us etc. etc. etc.
I doubt the nukes will be used unless and until the real world powers are ready for WWIII to start.
Along with all this are the reports of several to a dozen or 2 who've dreamed of our beloved leader's limo being rocketed or some such and a dictator taking over after that--some feeling it being Clinton. What a nightmare that would be! But I've long felt that Dilldo was eagerly pushing for just such a scenario even when he was in power.
Then there's the reports of the Russian defectors about nukes being in U.S. cities.
etc. etc. and etc.
The times are a changin'
The thicken plots.
I don't know that any of us from almost any perspective can say a whole lot with certainty.
The most certain thing I can say--is I'm convinced God is still ultimately in control and will ultimately have His way as Scriptures outline.
But the outline also includes tons of suffering between here and there.
