The good news about the today's terror warning is that if the factul basis for the warnings is true, then AQ does not have nuke weapons in place in the CONTUS. Why, you ask? Because we wouldn't be focusing on a specific building(s) when a single nuke could take out 2/3 or more of Manhattan.

Very good point.....but I can't help but wonder, "what if"?
I often think about John Edwards speech of last week when he mentioned the "loose nukes in Russia". I wonder what he knows that we don't.

I wish I could believe this but it's just tooo pat! A suitcase nuke wouldn't take out 2/3rds of Manhattan and what facts have been found are probably only partial...I'm sure there are several cells in OBL's Manhattan project and some are minor "key" distractions. Think about the "Albanian double cross"
Can you imagine a combo car bomb, bio-chem & airplane attack...and then all the rescue staff arrive from the outer boroughs only to then have a nuke go off in an ambulance or ems vehicle! There are many possible scenerios and I'm sure the authorities are looking at this recent info as part of the puzzle but not the entire puzzle. I hope they canvas the churches well!

When I was watching the press conf. I was amazed that they were so specific and actually named buildings. That had to have been the most specific terror warning they've given.

That's because the others were secretly deactivated by a super-secret U.S. paramilitary force. In fact, my sources tell me, that we were within minutes of losing a U.S. city before one of these nukes was detonated at sea by a group of ultra, super-secret, paramilitary, aqua-men, all of whom just got off of "double secret probation."
I thought everyone knew that! LOL
