Well my friend are you certain you want me to answer what I think? ( smiles) here goes:
the article is from WND G2 (by Paul Williams) sub so I cannot post the entire article as I'd like but here are highlights:
1.a "nuclear hell storm" planned for seven major cities – is set to occur in October.
The seven cities targeted by al-Qaida for nuclear destruction are New York, Washington DC, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago.
2.Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the top al-Qaida lieutenant in Iraq, mentions the "Great Ramadan Offensive" that will create a "fateful confrontation" with the United States and Israel.
Ramadan begins Tuesday, Oct. 4, and ends on Nov. 2. The Night of Determination will occur Oct. 29
3.The communiqué, dated May 30, was intercepted by CIA officials and remains on the Global Information System database that is accessible only to government officials with high-security clearance.
(But still they are leaving NYC to hang dry on their threat)
BTW we had beef-upped security here in Chicago at all all subways and Trains and Buses
4. In the message, which was broadcast Aug. 8, al-Zawahiri said: "What you have seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and Iraq, (((in spite of the blackouts by your media,))) are only the losses of the initial clashes. ... You will soon experience horrors that will make you forget the horrors you have encountered in Vietnam."
() thus my tagline
5. Concerns about an October attack were heightened even more by reports that the radical Islamic community viewed the ravages of hurricanes Katrina and Rita as signs that Allah was pleased with the plans for "the American Hiroshima."
6. The fate of the world for the next Islamic year, if bin Laden has his way, will include the nuclear destruction of the United States
7. This has been years in the making, appox 10
When he returned to Afghanistan, bin Laden purchased tactical nuclear weapons from the Chechen Mafia. News of the sale was confirmed by Saudi, Israeli, British, Saudi and Russian intelligence and reported in The Times of London, the Jerusalem Report, Al Watan al-Arabi, Muslim Magazine, Al-Majallah (Londons Saudi weekly) and by the BBC.
In 1997, bin Laden made additional small nuclear weapons from materials bought not only from the Chechens but also black market sources in Russia, China, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine.
In 1998, he purchased large quantities of highly enriched uranium from Simeon Mogilevich, a Ukrainian arms dealer. For one delivery of fifteen kilos of uranium-236, Mogilevich was paid $70 million. Bin Laden also purchased several bars of enriched uranium-138 from Ibrahim Abd, an Egyptian arms dealer and several Congolese opposition soldiers.
8. Then we've been following missing scientists here for years, (Checkout Brad Thor's new book called Blowback, this is covered extensively)
From 1999 to 2001, bin Laden hired scientists and technicians from the A.Q. Khan Research Facility in Pakistan not only to build new nukes from the highly enriched uranium and plutonium but also to maintain, upgrade, reconfigure, and redesign his "off-the shelf" nukes, including nuclear mines, so that they could be packed into lightweight (less than eight pounds) suitcases and backpacks or molded into warheads that could be launched from 120 or 155 millimeter recoilless rifles.
Upon the arrests of Dr. Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood and Dr. Chaudry Abdul Majid, two top officials from the Khan facility, the CIA discovered that several of bin Laden’s tactical nukes had been forward-deployed to the United States from Karachi.
9. We have also been following the MS13 connection here and recent events have me thinking about their infiltration into many states here with stories such as:
More information concerning al-Qaida’s nukes came with the arrest in Pakistan of Sharif al-Masri, a key al-Qaida operative. Al Masri, an Egyptian national with close ties to al-Zawahiri, operative, informed CIA and ISI (Pakistani intelligence) officials that several tactical nukes for use in the American Hiroshima had been forward deployed to Mexico for transportation across the border by members of Mara Salvatrucha ("MS-13"), a Salvadoran street gang.

Yikes on the Williams article. Thanks for posting.... and Hi!
The other coinky dink that dosturbs me is Granite Shadow and the timing of the hurricanes , specifically Rita and Bush going to Colorado (which I believe is slowly becoming the new D.C.)
the highly classified "Granite Shadow" program.
(normally when we have drills/exercises they are not announced then become "Highly Classified)
"Granite Shadow is yet another new Top Secret and compartmented operation related to the militarys extra-legal powers regarding weapons of mass destruction," Arkin wrote. "It allows for emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control."
The operations by the Pentagon are commanded by NORTHCOM, the U.S. Northern Command headquartered in Colorado Springs.
According to Arkin, when the search for rogue nuclear weapons takes place inside the U.S., the secret "Granite Shadow" mission kicks in.
U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), the military's new homeland security command, is preparing its draft version of CONPLAN 0400 for military operations in the United States, and the resulting Granite Shadow plan has been classified above Top Secret by adding a Special Category (SPECAT) compartment restricting access
Interesting tidbit:
the plan includes deployment inside the U.S. of "'special mission units' (the so-called Delta Force, SEAL teams, Rangers, and other special units of Joint Special Operations Command) in Washington, D.C. and other domestic hot spots."
Arkin also reveals a "twin" classified program to Granite Shadow - "Power Geyser
According the military documents, the unclassified title is 'Counter-Terrorism Special Operations Support to Civil Agencies in the event of a domestic incident,'" he writes. "It is another Top Secret/SPECAT plan directing the same special mission units to provide weapons of mass destruction recovery and 'render safe' in either a terrorist incident or in the case of a stolen (or lost) nuclear weapon.
In addition to the Pentagon's nuclear terror drills, the FBI has also begun conducting simulation exercises dealing with the threat of nuclear terror.
Much of the action in these drills takes place behind the scenes invisible to the public, the FBI says.
(Why?!)
Like yesterday, Bush announces we've foiled 10 plots in 4 yrs.:
http://www.suntimes.com/output/iraq/cst-nws-bush07.html
The FBI simulation was taking place within days of a Pentagon exercise scenario in which authorities tried to arrest a terrorist discovered unloading an improvised nuclear weapon in the port of Charleston, S.C.
In that scenario, the bomb was detonated, killing 10,000, injuring 30,000 and exposing as many as 100,000 to high levels of radiation. It involved thousands of civilians, military personnel and local and federal officials.
"Sudden Respond 05" was led by Virginia's Fort Monroe-based Joint Task Force-Civil Support and was designed to simulate a nuclear terrorist attack that the highest U.S. officials, including President Bush, have said is the No. 1 threat facing the nation.

I hear today there are once again 19 desposts planning 10-14 attacks in cities with subways, so of the 7 cities who all has subways?
NYC,DC?,Chicago,LA, what of the other 4?
The outbreak of mystery illness in nursing home..
10-5 they ruled out influenza,avaian flu,SARS and "Legionnaires" but today they are saying that it was in fact Legionnaire's-come on MsM!!!
Pentagon: Terrorist letter says jihad to spread
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/letter07.html
Seems to me that if AQ had the ability to carry out a major attack -- that is, an attack capable of killing hundreds, if not thousands -- they would have gone into motion right after Katrina in order to exploit the situation. They didn't, and that says to me that AQ doesn't have nukes, dirty bombs, or other weapons of mass destruction stashed anywhere in the Country, at least not as of early September. That doesn't mean that that AQ, Hammas, et.al won't try to blow up a bomb in the subways, but rather, they probably don't have the ability to take out a whole city.
You have done an excellent job of connecting the dots.
Thank you for sharing it with us.......
Those ever missing scientists!
Thanks for the information -- interesting stuff.
