Of course, we are hoping that theirs is the latter form of 'victory'. I'm sure our military would just love to help them to that form of victory.
What freakin planet is this retard from ?? We had (and to some degree still have) 10,000 nuclear weapons pointed at us by the BIGGEST and BADDEST enemy on the planet !!
You think one nuke is going to scare us ? Hell, we'll turn around and let fly 100 nukes and then get ready with the rest of them. Islamic terrorists are too stupid for words if they think that one is going to do us in.
America, land of the usually fat, dumb and happy crowd. Till you piss us off; then we go forth and exterminate ENTIRE cultures.

More than this, since al-Qaida fled Afghanistan at the end of last year, the Sunday Telegraph reports, between 80 and 100 al- Qaida fighters were provided with false passports by Hezbollah before being relocated to southern Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The same report acknowledges that Hezbollah, working hand in hand with al-Qaida, has set up cells in the Far East - including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. It is well known that Hezbollah has operated in Gaza and the West Bank for years, but the recent revelation by the Shin Bet in Israel that al- Qaida has now also joined them there, is chilling evidence of a level of cooperation previously unsuspected.

***BUSH COUNTRY.org - Opinion Corner by Jeremy Reynalds: "'HITLER SHOULD HAVE FINISHED THE JOB!'"

For example, A portion of one of her most recent "contributions" to an internet mailing list read, "Be assured that if the Zionist swine occupying Israel take the step to join the warmongering party they will be kissing themselves goodbye.""..."Muhammad wrote that if it comes to the point where America decides to attack Iraq purely to "satisfy (Bush's) imperial aims," then there will be both a quick and harsh response from Muslims. Muhammad failed to make it clear for whom if anyone other than herself she is speaking, but her diatribe was sufficiently volatile that I believe it bears investigation by law enforcement authorities. She continued to write that in the event of war, "The coffins of dead Americans will be loaded on planes for CNN and Fox News to televise. There will be NO place on this entire earth safe for Americans, Jews, British, Australian or anyone else who wages war on Muslims." According to Muhammad, an attack on Iraq would be the straw that broke the camel's back for the Arab world.

This handy guide covers everything for the aspiring terrorist ranging from buying explosives to procuring chemicals, techniques for picking locks, the use of explosives and special ammunition for projectile weapons. Here are some examples of materials contained in the book. In one section the author says the best place to steal chemicals is from a college lab. He points out that's because many state schools place all of their chemicals out on lab shelves and they have even more in their stockrooms. Alilami writes, "Evening is the best time to enter lab buildings, as there are the least number of people in the buildings, and most of the labs will still be unlocked. One simply takes a bookbag, wears a dress shirt and jeans, and tries to resemble a college freshman. If anyone asks what such a person is doing, the thief can simply say that he is looking for the polymer chemistry lab, or some other chemistry-related department other than the one they are in."

Mitchell, Special Agent In Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Milwaukee Office, and Patrick Calhoun, Special Agent In Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Milwaukee Office, announced the arrest of Jamil Salem Sarsour, age 52, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sarsour was arrested at Newark International Airport in Newark, NJ, upon a federal criminal complaint issued in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The complaint alleges that Sarsour structured $25,000 in financial transactions on October 22, 1998, the day he departed for Israel, to avoid federal reporting requirements requiring that cash transactions in excess of $10,000 be reported. Sarsour was deported to the U.S. upon his recent release from prison in Israel where he had been in custody since his arrest when he arrived Tel Aviv from Milwaukee on October 23, 1998. Israeli court documents show that he was later charged with aiding HAMAS and later pled guilty to those charges. Deportation proceedings began when he completed his term of imprisonment. Sarsour has been under investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), located in Milwaukee Wisconsin.) (122702)

So whoever is killed in such missions is a martyr, may Allah bless him with high esteem. I call on every Palestinian not to hesitate in carrying out such operations as long as they are the only way of making Jihad and are made with an intention of sacrificing one's life for the Sake of one's religion and nation.

In his apartment, police found packages of iron perchlorate and other chemicals which, when mixed together, can make a powerful explosive. They also seized two empty propane canisters, $5,000 in cash, fake passports and a computer with coded instructions. During a second search two days later, they found timers and detonators hidden in a washing machine. Police also arrested Ben-Ahmed's wife and two accomplices, identified as Mohamed Merbah and Ahmed Belhoud. But it was the discovery of a military-issue nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection suit and bottles of toxic chemicals that most alarmed investigators, leading to speculation that Ben-Ahmed and his network were planning a chemical attack or had gained access to nuclear waste and were hoping to make a "dirty bomb"...")
