Hi Poohbah,

I agree in principal, (man, I thought that was the last one who remembered BOMARK), The real issue revolves around the terror aspect of terrorism. If the bad guys detonated a dirty nuke (i.e. conventional explosive wrapped with radioactive waste), in say, a minority neighborhood, the hue and cry from the sheeple populace would be deafening. The purpose of the evildoers would be to demonstrate that they can strike antime, anywhere. Remember the old Chuck Norris movie "Invasion USA"? There is this one part where thr bad guys go after a residential area with what appears to be a 27 shot LAWS. The purpose was to instill fear. THAT is the goal of the dirty nukes.

OBTW I classify "Invaion USA" as a RAMBO movie. (RAMBO means Rarely Anything Marginally Believable Occuring). The FBI, via the ANSIR system is suspicious of "truck bombs" and has sent out alerts via an ANSIR bulletin. Forewarned is forarmed. Those of you that poo-poo the guy in the article must think that Christians In Action have all the answers /sarcasm

Semper Fi

What about a "pregnant van/truck," which is what I call the brand new vehicle bought by my Pakistani neighbor in December 2001. He moved into this neighborhood in 1998. The van is not so much a van, but a an all-white Ford truck with a separated cab. The back behind the cab is a modular, totally rounded and curved piece that is completely closed and it extends upwards higher than the cab, and over the cab as well. It almost has the shape of an old fashioned doctor's medical bag brought to house calls in the good old days. You know, modular and rounded, not squared off at all like other closed Ford trucks. I have never seen anything like it and I have looked at Ford dealers and on the Ford web site for all their models. It may have been custom made. It appears brand new. The closest vehicle that I have seen that resembles it is a Red Cross closed truck I saw in a video replay of 911. But it is not exactly like that either. The back and sides of the part behind the cab have absolutely no windows. This man supposedly owns a (or works for a family-owned) gasoline service station/convenience food mart somewhere in NY.

Anyway, my question is: if such a "pregnant" van/truck were lined with lead (the back part behind the cab) and paraffin, could it accomodate dirty nukes or even a suitcase nuke? It certainly could accomodate a conventional bomb, I imagine. Please respond if you and others can. I have tried to get these thoughts out of my mind since December, but they keep creeping back again whenever I read a thread such as this one! Thanks. :-)

I don't have any idea about the immediate or eventual likelihood of the use of dirty little nukes by the Mohammedans against the United States. However, we have a huge amount of nuclear waste that we need to drop somewhere in order to get it out of our own neighborhoods, and Mecca looks right to me. Of course, I don't rule out the use of larger and more lethal nukes on the terrorists, but the two are not mutually exclusive. Whatever works since they have chosen to try and kill us. And one could also hope that all the radiation over there will mutate those Mohammedan freaks and make their offspring normal.

The credibility of Morey may be questionable. The credibility of the threat is not and anyone that thinks so is a fool.

I'm a little far away to test him, but it would be fun.

It's not a question of either/or. I don't think the CIA knows, but I'm quite sure this guy doesn't, either.

He's very credible. Read his book 'The Islamic Invasion' written prior to 9-11.

Your point (and that of all others in agreement) on this thread about reading the "expert's claims" along really big grains of salt is well taken.

However, Steven Emerson tried so very diligently to convince America that we needed to recognize and pay serious attention to the growing and in-your-face-if-you-knew-where-to-look" Islamic extremist threat for 10 years or so, didn't he?That's why it is beneficial to scope out every claim and not dismiss it out of hand. Especially, when other countries and certain U.S. spooks had some information about potential attacks pre-911 in and around June-July of last year. That reality, coupled with the information provided earlier by arrests in the Phillippines and during the millennium year should have kept the U.S. on guard. But the U.S. wasn't, and 911 has come and gone.

One of the most effective traits of recent terrorists is also one of our strongest weaknesses. You see, terrorists seem to know how to bide their time while remaining patiently determined much more capably than we do. They bide their time patiently and silently while waiting for our weakness to reappear -- and our weakness always does. We simply do not know how to bide our time well while remaining even mildly vigilant. We show little patience with "terror alerts" that do not, thank God, result in any actual incidents; we get snappy at increased airport security measures; we start to minimize certain threats that we see as too unusual and/or difficult for terrorists, even though the terrorists' evil acts on 911 were hugely unusual and difficult.

Just when I start thinking maybe WorldNetDaily isn't so bad, they come up with this kind of embarassingly stupid fake story.

He has authored over 40 books dealing with false religions, cults and philosophies....

Then Islam is right up his alley.

Yup... makes me think of the old film "Repo Man" where the guy is driving around with a radioactive alien or whatever in the trunk of the car :-)

The bombs are in the black helicopters that are gathering in Arkansas waiting for UN orders to pick-up Janet Reno and attack Disneyland. Thanks for the heads-up!

Not even close. There are dozens, if not scores, of reports attributed to Muhammad concerning the Imam Mahdi, most of which were contrived to support the Abbasid revolution against the Umayyad dynasty. None of them resembles what you've described, even vaguely. The Shi'ah have another complete set of reports attributed to Muhammad and to his descendants, and none of those resembles what you've described, either. Random imagination does not make for a particularly effective strategy.

"Random imagination"?? Are you daft??

If they work at all...I suspect they were attempted and didn't work.

he'd know that blabbing his fat mouth to WND would get his friends killed.

Think that's about right. The only reason he's running his mouth is because he knows nobody will get hurt. The other side knows it's not true, so......OTOH, he advances Al-Q'aeda's objectives by tightening everyone up ad nauseam.
