I was worried about the same things (supposed letters, apologies, etc).

Yet, nothing has gone "kerplooey" yet. And, they stated that it WOULD. DEFINITELY. BY 2/2.

When I was a young lad, the story of the Little Boy That Cried Wolf really stuck with me for some reason. This seems just like that, and every threat they make with no vaporized cities adds to the ridiculousness of it all.

Now, we hear that the flight cancellation stuff was "disinfo" and not the "real" attack. And, just a few minutes ago, the German source saying that they are under pressure to attack airliners with SAMs or blow up chem plants. IF they had nukes (I don't believe they do), why would they limit themselves to something so "ordinary"?

So, either we stopped the big, humongous nuke attack and made no noise about it (possible), or the "we will kill you ALL! NOW!" is just more Baghdad-Bob style Arab braggadacio.

To my thinking, it is all BS and no more than "jihad by the keyboard". That leaves Sean's sources, which could be "leaking" this info for any number of reasons, the possible motives of which are infinite.

They would because all of the Jihadis want to participate. If they don't they won't be guaranteed heaven.

All of this Musharraf talk reminds me of this:

http://www.kashmiri-pandit.org/elibrary/pressreleases/knn/10012001.html
Gen. Musharraf admitted to the existence of over 7,000 ‘madrassas’ which graduate about 700,000 students every year in Pakistan. He acknowledged that many of the madrassas teach only religion and are breeding grounds for anti-US sentiment. The students of these madrassas are taught the same principles of jehad which were applied so cold-bloodedly by the 19 WTC/Pentagon hijackers.

OK, gang..

Here's the $64M question..

IF AQ has nukes..WHY haven't they detonated them yet?

There were some pretty strong statements made about a "backbreaking, order-changing" hit "between the Eids", which has already ended. Then there was that confounded countdown clock, and huge "chatter" complete with pictures of nuke detonations all over the jihadi forums..

I'm inclined to think they DON'T have any, but am also open enough to the possibility that it would be oh so easy to bring ANYTHING into the country today - wide open borders and all.

Something just doesn't add up, but I can't figure it out. (Not trying to be antagonistic to any viewpoints as I myself don't have a handle on which way I really feel about this..but it just all seems so..odd, and something isn't fitting..)
