FBI director predicts terrorists will acquire nukes

A Stop-the-Presses Alert from Robert S. Mueller III.

By Jerry Seper for the Washington Times, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III yesterday said that it was only a matter of time and economics before terrorists will be able to purchase nuclear weapons and that the world's law-enforcement community must unite to prevent it.

"Our greatest weapon is unity," Mr. Mueller said at the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism law-enforcement conference in Miami. "That unity is built on intelligence and interagency cooperation. It is built on the idea that, together, we are smarter and stronger than we are standing alone."

Mr. Mueller said federal authorities, working with their counterparts overseas, must secure loose nuclear material, share intelligence about those who wish to buy and sell such material, and stop those who do -- adding that by some estimates, there is enough highly enriched uranium in global stockpiles to construct thousands of nuclear weapons.

Mr. Mueller said the economics of supply and demand dictate that someone, somewhere will provide nuclear material to the highest bidder, and that material will end up in the hands of terrorists. He said the al Qaeda terrorist network has demonstrated a clear intent to acquire weapons of mass destruction, noting that Osama bin Laden sought to buy uranium in Sudan in 1993.

But, he said, al Qaeda is not the only concern, adding that the United States faces threats from other terrorist cells around the world and from homegrown terrorists not affiliated with al Qaeda but who have been inspired by its message of hatred and violence.

Yes, Mr. Mueller, speaking of that message of hatred and violence, what are your plans for dealing with that?

What he Really Really Meant:

"But, he said, al Qaeda is not the only concern, adding that the United States faces threats from Muslims around the world and from American Muslims not affiliated with al Qaeda but who have been inspired by Islam's message of hatred and violence."

And when ( not IF ) an entire city disappears along with a million of us INFIDEL DOGS and the musulmen dance in the streets with joy while shouting "Allahu Akhbar!" will the somnolent, torpid West FINALLY wake up? Will we do what needs to be done?? Or will we just wring our hands and wonder "Why do they hate us???"

People in the west won't wake up until the powers that be finally admit the problem isn't radical muslims but Islam its self!

"Our greatest weapon is unity," Mr. Mueller said..."

"Unity" is our greatest weapon?

[gulp!]

So why do we have to wait for the big fat stamp of approval claiming 'unity' from powers that be?

Why don't we make it clear who's really in charge in this country? And be willing to take days off to march (or whatever) instead of saving up for that trip to Florida?

When are YOU going to make that difference?

Isn't this the same Muller who ordered CAIR's "sensitivity training" to FBI field officers? Now, does "sensitivity training" help or hinder fighting terrorists (there is no such thing as "war on terror")?

Something tells me it just rolls off the burly Agents...

He is just covering his ass because he is clueless on how to stop it. That way when it does happen he can get up and say "see, see I told you it was going to happen" and then he can write a book on how nobody listened to him.

Oh, yes, because "law enforcement" is so good at stopping criminals. Let's all put our lives and futures in the hands of policemen instead of our military.

Oh, brother.

Sorry Robert:

The DFBI is prohibited from calling a spade a spade, so he avoids anything but sanitized legalese-to come right out and speak off the cuff would be tantamount to their #1 prohibition: racial profiling.

"Unity is our greatest weapon"

But a couple of stray nukes along the Afghan/Waziri border and Balochistan would be a start :D

FBI director predicts terrorists will acquire nukes

The harsh truth here is that we must not be reactive. There is no mistake that these demented minds gleefully desire to hurt the Infidel. However, the answer is to put nuclear weapons (clandestinely) among them and let them go off among THEM. Let THEM feel terror. Let them live in fear of the next attack.

Surely the various intelligence agencies have some imagination. Pay them in their own coin of terror everywhere they make a threat. That will do more to end the threats than all the silly moral posturing on the matter.

Get some covert operations going everywhere among THEM-and let nuclear weapons explode among THEM. That will do the job with Jihad and terror.
Eventually, that will be done to THEM so they feel and taste the nuclear bitterness of their demented threats. Give them what they threaten. It's common sense.

"it was only a matter of time and economics before terrorists will be able to purchase nuclear weapons and that the world's law-enforcement community must unite to prevent it"

So if this is true which we all know it is , Isn't it also the silent " Moderate" Muslim majorities responsibility to accept the consequences of Jihadist actions as well? If we are gonna get Nuked one day perhaps it would be in order to make a Blanket Declaration to ALL Muslim nations friendly and otherwise that if we get nuked that we WILL hold those nations responsible as well. They need to understand that they are the only ones who can stop their own fundamentalists . they have to be the ones to inform against them and report their suspicious activity. they cannot just stand by while a Hundred thousand or million Westerners , most likely BRITISH or AMERICANS get vaporized. i shudder to think what the response will be if they actually carry out one of these attacks. they need to be put on notice that it is in fact THEM ( Muslims worldwide ) who hold the power to preventing it. They need to stop silently and apathetically supporting extremism and stand up and be counted, before ALL pay for the few.

During the Cold War the government of the Soviet Union was made to understand that if it did X, the American government would do Y, and Y would inflict a great deal of damage -- might even destroy -- not only all of the military centers, but many of the cities, of the Soviet Union. This was a given. It inhibited Soviet actions.

But what have the world's would-be Muslim terrorists been given to understand? Has it been made clear to them that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were as nothing, and that all of the Gulf states, their oil facilities, their skyscrapers, their everything, could be taken down, and the wealth of the Arabs and Muslims everywhere in the West seized, as enemy assets, both of the government and of private citizens, were seized during World War II.

And finally, Muslims in the West, in the Lands of the Infidels, may assume that whatever happens their position is secure -- but why should that be? Why should not the entire position of Muslims everywhere suffer, for they form part of the umma al-islamiyya as much as millions of Russians living in cities that might have been attacked, would have been made to pay for decisions of the Soviet government. That is what modern warfare entails. If it were clear that mass expulsions would follow such an attack -- on the same theory of ending, once and for all, an intolerable security situation, the same theory that Jan Masaryk and Edouard Benes used to justfiy, and did justify to the satisfaction of everyone in the Western world, the Benes Decree of 1946 by which the Sudeten Germans were expelled -- surely that would help force many who might be hostile to Infidels to nonetheless choose, out of self-interest, to collaborate both in Dar al-Islam and in the Lands of the Infidels, to monitor themselves fellow Muslims, to turn them in wherever necessary, to constrain them as much as possible. Not appeals to "hearts and minds," but a keen awareness of self-interest, and of a likely Infidel reaction to such an attack, is what should be counted on.

One assumes, for example, that the military in Pakistan understands that if any of its nuclear weapons manage to be sent to others, or are ever used against the West, that will be the end of Pakistan. And it may also be the end of the presence of Pakistanis in that West -- there is no reason, given the tenets and inculcated loyalties (to Islam and the umma) and hostilities (to all Infidels), for any Infidel state to suffer an attack, and then to further endure the expense and headache of permanently monitoring large numbers of those who were once allowed to settle deep within what they themselves have been taught to regard as enemy lines.

There is a limit.

You said it better than i ever could but that's exactly what i was wondering and asking.
Thanks Hugh.

Better keep those borders open and virtually unguarded.

A nuke can be heavy and unweildy in the back of a ATV crossing over into Arizona.

Wouldn't want to incovenience the Jihad with our "nativism" or "bigotry".

Mueller should be fired and get someone who wants to kill to preserve our nation.

Not whimper about the inevitable.

(Brought on by such craven defeatism.)

Here's a realistic scenario:

Say that God forbid, a nuke or several nukes go off in the US. And imagine that the royal family in Saudi Arabia is overthrown by a radical islamic government, similar to the Shah being overthrown in Iran. (Note that an up and coming saudi prince is pro Al Quada) Now the Saudis are no longer our ally and essentially most of the oil exports to the US has been cut off from that part of the world. Finally, imagine that a nuke goes off in mecca and also a nuke in medina. The million dollar question is: Would islam cease to exist? After all one of the five pillars would be gone. Would that be what it takes to finally end this scourge which has been unleashed upon our earth?

All I can say is that if there is another attack and I see some idiots dancing in the streets shouting, Allah Akbar" I am going to be in the mix doing some serious ass kicking. I would hope that our government retaliates in a similar manner.

Possibly the most important reason for the United States outlawing Islam is the threat to its Christian citizenry from Muslims setting off nuclear weapons in US cities (there is even the possibility that these people will attempt to set off synchronized multiple attacks here).

Face it: If it's evil, Muslims are plotting it. And they are plotting it against US.

Now all this begs the question WHY THE HELL IS THE US GOVERNMENT NOT ONLY PERMITTING ISLAM ON US SOIL BUT PERMITTING ISLAMIC TERRORIST TRAINING CAMPS TO OPERATE ON OUR LAND?????

The US government IS aware of Islamberg and other such islamic-perpetrated atrocities HERE (not over THERE somewhere) in the USA. So its excuses are wearing thin for its inaction on this and other problems involving Islam and jihad in America.

With such 'Islamist' groups as ul-fuqra operating in America and conducting jihadist training here, can attacks with weapons of mass destruction be far behind???? (No). Can the US government stop these terrorism organizations from attacking the rest of the nation? (Maybe, but time could be running out).

As for Mueller he needs to get off his well-larded butt and get to work with the US military and get all these Islamist terrorism training camps off American soil ASAP and thereby reduce the potential for a tragic Islamic terror attack (with nukes) in America.

I’m convinced that the main reason that President Bush is pulling out the stops to legalize our tens of millions of uninvited friends is because once Mueller’s ‘matter of time’ has come and gone, the calls for ending these charades will be violent.

He’s putting the pieces in place. The KBR internment camp contingency contract ($385 million), power over the sovereign Indian lands with his May Presidential Directive, power over the Judiciary and Legislative branches with the same directive, and an effort to bring his 2001 immigration vision to pass in the lull between 9-11 awareness and the hysteria after whatever comes next.

A tree knocked out power for 50 million people in 2003. Think about what a coordinated effort by two dozen Iranian electrical engineers could do. Imagine the mechanics of simply feeding New York City after a week without computers, running water, or refrigeration.

"Our greatest weapon is unity," Mr. Mueller said..."

"Unity" is our greatest weapon?

" . . . homegrown terrorists not affiliated with al Daedalus but who have been inspired by its message of hatred and violence."

Generic "terrorists?" Who could they be? IRA? Kahanists? People who have a grudge against the Government? the IRS? the Postal Service?

Can't get it out of his mouth to call what these "homegrown terrorists" could be and are: Islamic, Muslims, jihadists, mujahedeen.

The FBI with its, already mentioned, "sensitivity training" vis a vis Moslems, its ban on non-Moslem (Jewish) Arabic translators, its chowdown at Islamberg? Is there to see that we don't get nuked?

No way! The director predicts that its only a matter of time before the generic "terrorists" acquire nukes and explode them here amongst us.

Do we sleep easier knowing that Director Mueller knows and predicts that this will happen?

Daedalus? I did not type that! Must've been changed by some censorship agency (not JW certainly), but we all know it's al qaeda.

Mass expulsion of muslims from large parts of Europe is no longer possible. There are simply too many combat ready and highly motivated muslims in the age interval fit for war. The police forces would be insufficient without massive help from the rapidly aging population, and most European armies are just a joke anyway.

And in the long run the most credible nuclear threat against the US is a muslim takeover of France, where one third of the young men fit for combat is already muslim, probably the strongest third and with nothing to lose. In one generation they will have the majority among those under 40, and in two generations the majority of all voters, i.e. either the takeover will be peaceful in two generations, or messy before that.

In the meantime Pentagon should try to figure out how to seize France's nuclear arsenal before the old French generals lose control, unless they want to nuke France after New York disappears.

Swish ,swish! Ah, how I love the sound of sweeping statements. I take it that you've missed taking your optimist medication?

I have no time to write a dissertation on the subject, neither do I claim infallibility. Besides, I would love to be wrong, so please feel free to go through the statements and point out where I am substantially off the mark. The take-home message is that France is a major nuclear power with an unremovable muslim time bomb in its midst.

This may be an invalid assumption, at least where the US is concerned. It's more likely the PC crowd will point to the Japanese who were interned after Pearl Harbor and say we can never do that again to Americans. You'll hear how we can't blame all Muslims for the actions of a few and we can't even blame all Pakistanis, since they are tribal and the tribal group that launched the attack isn't the same one these guys belong to, etc.

We heard something similar after our embassy was seized in 1979. Then we heard about the Shi'a Sunni split and how the Sunnis were our friends. That seizure should have been our call to arms but we were lulled into complacency by Muslims and their apologists.

The all you need is love crowd would never do anything as practical as evicting the enemy. They don't believe in enemies. To them, every Muslim is a friend you just haven't made yet.

Making assumptions on how Joe Public will respond to Muslim acts of aggression in Europe does not necessarily have to fall in to the camp of ‘inaction’. The PC brigade just might get a shock (an assumption) when it turns out that mums and dads just do not want to take the risk of their children having to endure a lifetime of subjugation to the 7th century cult of Islam and it’s mindless followers, peaceful as it may be. Perhaps they will take exception to their daughters and granddaughters undergoing genital mutilation or being beaten and sold as chattel. Perhaps the will be upset at the thought of Sharia law being the order of the day and having to cow before the religious police.
Perhaps the repugnant ideology of Islam and its Umma will have to deal with ferocity on such a scale that it will incur horrors comparable to those that have been an embarrassment to many since the Second World War. (Perhaps)
It is claimed that there are moderate Muslims but they mainly remain silent, I would suggest that there are FAR MORE moderate infidels who are also keeping quiet at the moment but undergoing a continual, but slow, education as to the practices and intentions of Islam in Europe, I would imagine that their level of ‘moderation’ will diminish as time passes and Muslims continue to push their agenda.
The politically correct might find out to their surprise that they are outnumbered by the masses that have ‘put up’ with the crap over the years…….until it becomes life threatening.
Fundamentally, humans have a surprising capacity for hate, venom spite and malice which sadly expresses itself in terrible actions. That is not an assumption that is a fact and the assumption one should perhaps be making is, when it’s all going to kick off.
Not ‘if’ but ‘when.’ France seems like a likely starting point considering the level of unrest we’ve seen there so far. The geriatric infidels of Europe, as described by Otranto in the post above, may just surprise us all as they wield their walking sticks of terror and burst forth with their Zimmer frames and wheelchairs shining in the sunlight fortified and strengthened with WD40, Cod liver oil capsules and armour plated incontinence pants as they drive the Islamic hoards back to where they belong.
But that’s just an assumption.

You assume the PC brigade is rational. I think they no longer have the capacity to make judgments. They have been schooled in the notion that judgment of anything or anyone (not white and not American, that is) is wrong. They are the ones schooling our children and they are the ones inculcating in university students this idea that Western civilization is evil. The WWII generation knew how to fight. Then they built tha A-bomb and then the H-bomb and all subsequent generations were taught to avoid war at all costs. Now we go along to get along.
Iran knows how to fight. Note how they promised that all the Gulf States would be attacked if there was any effort to shut down their nuclear program. No one called them antagonistic. They were merely "defending themselves". It was up to George Bush to "lower the temperature".
The PC brigade thinks America deserved 9/11 and they aren't the only ones. They aren't upset at the idea of sharia law in parts of American cities. They aren't upset at the idea of footbaths in an airport. (We're not at the beach needing to get sand out of our feet. Anyone in an airport should have shoes on. No one needs a footbath. If they need a footbath then they probably need a shower, too.) Mind you the PC crowd would be mightily upset if you built a denominational chapel in an airport.
America might have many moderate infidels but Europe doesn't. They too have been schooled in America bad - anyone not America good. Religion bad - religion causes wars. No religion - good.
The will to fight has been bred out of most people. Those in whom it remains will be the first to fall because they will be the only ones who will stand up. The rest will say: what do I care, I don't really believe in this stuff but if they want me to do it, I will if it means I can get a job and live in peace. Go along, get along. Principle shminciple!
Threaten their destruction and there will be a nuclear party between Pakistan and Iran. Everyone will be looking for the mahdi. They aren't rational and neither is the PC brigade. Some of the un-PC infidels will be looking for Jesus to come out of the sky. The problem is this country and their countries are run by irrational people. Most Americans have no access to weapons larger than a hunting rifle.
