He added: "If you asked me if bin Laden really had these weapons, I would say, probably not, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't be the least surprised if there were a nuclear explosion in Israel or the United States."

Scary, indeed . . . deep down inside a little voice keeps telling me . . . if UBL had such a suitcase nuke, he would surely have used it already. Why would he wait? It seems the longer he waits, the better we would be prepared and the higher the chances of finding and killing his sorry @ss.

It is the voice of wishful thinking or what we like to call "whistling past the graveyard." OBL will use his nuclear capability on his time table because he is absolutely positively certain that his sleepers WILL NOT BE CAUGHT! OBL will entrust his nuclear capablility to his TOP sleeper agents. These people will have most likely been in the US or Europe for years. Their cover will be beyond reproach, they will be the most loyal, most careful, highest educated, and best trained of his sleepers. FOR GODSAKES PEOPLE THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ARAB!! They could be US citizens of European descent, Frenchman, Australians!! They could be your neighbors...

Why would he wait?

Many Americans have become complacent already. Think of the psychological impact of an attack now, during the Christmas Saeson. In all likelyhood, if he has these things, they have been hidden with the sleepers long before 911 to keep movement and detection to a minimum.

Look at it this way. Would you use a nuke first and then an airliner attack with when security is high? Would not a surprize airline attack be easier with your nukes already in place and at the standby for later use? Only time will tell.
