If they had this stuff and were able to use it, they would have used it on 9/11 and 9/12 and everyday afterwards.

I agree. I was very worried in the first few weeks after 9/11 that there was a second shoe to drop. It never did. IMHO, we have grossly overestimated Al Qaeda's power. If they had a nuke, they would have used it. However, I am still worried about the hijackers' interest in cropdusters. They definitely have or expected to have access to chemical or biological weapons. I hope our guys massing in the Middle East for the attack on Iraq have good anti-aircraft defenses, especially against simple small planes.

We've been lucky in the sense that Bin Laden had no strategic vision. Immediately after 9/11, a series of follow up attacks would have sent our economy into chaos and depression.

I saw Ollie North on Fox News about a week after 9/11. He said then that if they had some terrible weapon, they would have used by then.

I'm sure that we will have some things still happen.
Hopefully when compared to 9/11, they will be small potatoes.

This is about the 1,000,000 warning like this. They were rampant right before we started bombing and killing Tally Goat Humpers in Afghanistan.

When it became evident that we will move on Iraq/Saddamm, these warnings for us and the UK and have been coming out several a day. I believe it is the old bully technique trying to save their a$$es when the a$$ stomping is getting near.
