Report: Zarqawi a nuke threat

As much as Zarqawi and his buddies would like to nuke New York or Washington, the best they have been able to do is collect radioactive waste.

They've been at it for several years and who knows how many dollars it's taken. Dollars don’t matter, the Muslim charities will restore their coffers in a blink.

I suspect that Europe will be preferred over the USA for a dirty bomb event. Access to all of Europe is kids stuff, and with the enormous Muslim presence in Europe a bomber would have no problem finding succor and refuge.

The economic damage to England would be incalculable and only serve to further tighten our own security measures. Would a dirty bomb be enough to enrage the English and expose the domestic Muslim menace for what it is? I think not, but only time will tell.

If a dirty bomb goes off in Europe they will blame America nad the Joooos...

If a dirty bomb goes off in Europe they will blame America nad the Joooos...

Sorry about that. How did that happen 3 x?

Blame Amerika? Blame the Jooos? Is there any doubt in your military mind?

The hard part in this struggle is the wait. They'll step over the line one day and the reaction will not be controlled by the lace panty folks in foggy bottom.

Clean this snake nest out!

". . .analysts believe al-Qaida would already have used a nuclear device if it had one."

I don't get this way of thinking. Given the long "lead in" these guys use, unless they know that the dirty bomb stuff was collected a pretty long time ago, why do they say that al-qaida would have used it already? Maybe all the "arrangements" haven't been finalized yet.

This may sound bad, but maybe Europe needs to be attacked, That might swing them into action.

Yeah, A.G., I agree. A serious attack on Europe would be a lot like the farmer's "explanation" to the stubborn mule, who refused to "understand" the farmer's signal to move. Then the farmer hit him on the head with a 2 X 4, and suddenly, the mule "understood."

Maybe Europe needs to be hit on the head with a 2 X 4. It's a damned shame, but maybe that's where they're at.

It would have to to be a damn huge 2 x 4. Madrid didn't exactly fill european balls with testosterone.

Ramaz, could you please get your mind out of the white people/brown people rut? As Victor Frankel said after spending years in a concentration camp "There are two races of people, the decent and the indecent".
I put radical Islam, regardless of the race of those who practice it, firmly on the side of the indecent.

A little bit of sillyness, but does anyone else remember the Star-Trek episode where the aliens were one half black and one half white? ( they were black on one side and white on the other) The conflict came from the right-sided black vs. the left-sided black...which one is better? Silly wasn't it?

^duh, silliness^

"according to U.S. officials, who also say analysts are unable to gauge the reliability of the information's sources."

Hmm...

I'm with you, Carolyn. Must've been my conservative, Catholic father's way of raising me, but I've always seen people of Any color, Any nationality, Anywhere, Anytime, as just being someone new to Learn From.

Gee, don't that blow the stereotype to hell?

You're right, Shurki. Zarqawi probably doesn't have a bomb, though I'm sure he'd love one.

Instead, we'll just keep on trying to kill him for all the things he's ADMITTED to doing; you know, the conventional islamic terrorism that you insist never occurs.

Thanks for the reflection. =)

Chill out Ramaz. You're rants are illogical. You seem upset that Mecca will likely get nuked if your Muhjaheeds make major terror on US soil. Do you really expect the USA to sit back and take such a blow without retaliation?

As noble as egalitarianism is, someone should impart that to the likes of Jesse Jackson, who said after the 1994 GOP victory,

“Hate and hurt are on a roll in America. If what is happening here was happening in South Africa, it’d be called racist apartheid. If it was happening in Germany, we’d call it Nazism. And in Italy, we’d call it fascism. Here we call it conservatism.”

To understand just how politically correct the black leaders in America are, consider the words of Julian Bond who says critics of affirmative action are “neo-fascists”.

The ex mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Jackson lies and calls the Confederate battle flag a “swastika”.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters colors John Ashcroft a “racist”

Congressman of Missouri William Clay said this about Bush’s naming Ashcroft, this is the “way the KKK members worked to improve race relations”.

Al Sharpton came on the scene by defending Tawana Brawley when she went missing and was found four days later covered in dog feces and with racial slurs written on her body. Brawley said Whites and police officers did it and raped her. It was found out to be a lie and a hoax, Sharpton never apologized.

Every minority including Muslims feel that they can get away with calling White people and the Government all kinds of hateful, false, inaccurate, slanderous, libelous names and that they can ridicule, provoke and demonize without repercussions or consequences.

What’s happening is that the Jackson’s, Sharpton’s and Bond’s keep up these racist divisive tactics because it keeps the federal grants coming in. The racist lie coming from people like this has confirmed the fact that Civil Rights is nothing but a racket. Period. Screw these charlatan money grubbing race baiters STFU.

The truth is this:

The good Christian majority (not the rich minority plantation owners of slaves) realized that slavery was wrong. Segregation too and that the Indians didn’t get the best treatment. Apologies have been made and restitutions have been paid. It’s all in the past and it’s time to move on as a united country. Let’s not let the race racketeers succeed in milking us for all they can get by making us feel guilty for a past that is long long gone.

Addendum:

Many of Gary’s links are articles that explain what is going on in our schools. Much of today’s “teaching” is focusing on about 1% of American history that is negative and then merely brushing over or ignoring the other 99% that is positive.

And, maybe the reason is that most of the positive achievements throughout American history were done by Whites. The cultural Marxist liberals that now control the schools and the kids minds think that makes the minority kids feel left out, so they have revised history to make minorities feel better (the truth is irrelevant) and level the playing field by guilt tripping the little descendants of Christian Europeans. Include some affirmative action and special perks to non White kids, de-Christianize and de-God the country and eventually this will usher in the Marxist elites as the new emperor. That’s the plan.

They can’t do this if school kids are taught the real complete true American history. Can't pull it off if Christianity, the moral compass is still around. The true history would make proud patriotic Americans out of these kids and the left just hates that as it is an impediment to their goal of ruling the country. The constant drumbeat of tolerance, political correctness, so on and so forth is indoctrinating and erasing the national identity of these kids. Changing a once proud patriotic society of Americans into a multicultural wasteland of secularism and the ever so sacrosanct mindset of PC.

But hey, we are promised that we can have drugs, porn, abortion whenever we want, homosexual marriages, sodomy for heterosexual couples, as if we can’t already have this if we want but let the Marxists in power and they will shove it and more right down our throats, man oh man let the good times roll whether we like it or not. It only costs your soul, half your pay probably more in taxes while they live like kings, segregating themselves from all us comrades until the Isalmic or another power take over. I say to hell with that and to hell with them.

A dirty bomb is an economic weapon, not a killing device, per se.

It would be fatal (to people very close by the blast zone) more from the explosives used to scatter the radioactive powder than by the radiation spread itself.

The clean-up and decontamination would be the problem. If done in a major city, it could disrupt the financial structure for years.

A psychological attack, but of little long-term impact.

And the response would probably not be as enraged as it should be. Radiation being puzzling and invisible and slow-acting.

Who even remembers the many fatalities from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster?

They were far more dramatic injuries and deaths than a dirty bomb would cause -with poor Soviet soldiers given lead skirts and glibly sacrificed for the folly of their corrupt, imbecilic leaders--- as the party bosses gambled with their citizens' lives with laughably-built "Workers Energy!" atomic power plants.

MEANWHILE-

There ARE long-ranged radioactivity scanners.

Get them fired up. Track dwown the material.

And let's see Zarqawi in the cross hairs of an armed predator drone.

SOON!

Cross-

One quibble. The Confederate flag IS a 'swastika'.

Spare me the hearts and flowers "Battle Flag of the South" b.s. retro-p.c. apologistics ---which smacks seriously of the same type of puerile nonsense we hear from jihadist wannabe's and their denial-of-reality Islamic rationalizations to a tee, ---but with a drawl.

The whitewashers [sic] of the racist slave holding rebellion of the South cannot play the "they wuz really fightin' for states' rights" line any more. It don't flush.

They were fighting for white dominance and the perpetual second-class status of other human beings (sounds painfully like Islam, eh?), whose children they kidnapped, whose families they destroyed, whose women they raped -and 'made new slaves' with, whom they forbade to learn to read, whose labor they stole from cradle to grave, and on whose back they rode on to false prosperity and the myth of 'ante-bellum gentility'. (Maybe they were the first communists?)

Let's be serious. The South should be able to swallow their sour past, finally, and get over it.

Most people below the Mason-Dixon Line seem to have "let it go", but this quasi-KKK weeping over the 'lost glories' of a rebellion against the Constitution and built on a throughly-rotten foundation of inhumanity to fellow men and women- needs to be laid into a quiet sepulcher.

If you still hate blacks, just spit it out. Wave the crossed stars. Boo hoo hoo about the nifty grey uniforms. (The soldiers of tyrannts are always better dressed, for some Freudian reason.) But stop play-acting the 'nobility' of a time that was as bad as the Inquisition.

And the faux worth of a flag that belongs in museums or movies, not anywhere else in a land devoted to the Bill of Rights.

If I were Black, I'd tear them down, smash them on pick-up truck windshields, and yank them off their bumpers with a [jim?]crowbar, and gladly face arrest and go to trial to force the issue...

But I am currently more concerned with the jihadists... who have too many of the same 'supremacist' traits...

And a real neat crescent and star flag of their own.

Wow BS the truth comes out. You are just a little snob. And a poorly educated one at that.What, you think you are better than others? You suck dude, completely. I was going to educate you on the true south but why throw pearls before bigoted swine like you.

PS: It’s cool to be a rebel, it’s all the rage but pussies need not apply.

Ramaz, the comments that shock you are not the voice of desire, but that of exasperation.

There have been signs of strain in the Atlantic alliance for a long time. Western Europe has always had a "superiority complex" towards America; one that too many American thinkers and politicians have been inclined to stroke rather than answer with (hopefully in exaggerated Texas drawl or Noo Yawk accents), "Well, next time you want to self-destruct, your hard-working and creative people know where the welcome mat is likely to be unrolled." Further, intellectual life in Europe has been hostage to the Left for ages, the French cafe society long being infamous for saying "Better to be wrong with Sartre than right with Aron." When it does get an occasional moment of lucidity, it blames everything on the remnant of its Jewish population and can't discern that some of its non-Western immigrants are indeed trying to get away from the oppressions of Islamic society.

Western Europe was spoiled rotten by open-ended American committments to its defense; and expresses its gratitude by tweaking Uncle Sam's whiskers.

By the way, did you know that France intervened in Cote d'Ivoire because it wants to corner the world's supply of cocoa?
