Although I don��t particularly trust the intelligence of ��Terrorist Groups,�� It would seem that detonating a nuclear device inside the United States would be a tactical mistake.
I believe that Mr. Bin Laden himself understood the consequences of this before he gave the go ahead for 9/11. It was my understating that they considered a nuclear option at that time, but he nixed the idea.
This all makes sense to me; however, if the Koran states that killing 1 million unbelievers and causing 20 million Muslims to be sent to martyr heaven is Glorious, then the US is screwed. |
First of all, from where exactly do you think you learned al Qaeda's plans?
Second of all, I have heard a few allegations that they are indeed planning to bring nukes in, although I can't and won't vouch for the sources of those statements.
Third, Nuking the Middle East, except on a genocidal scale, won't do much good against an enemy that hides in civil populations all across the area.
That said, I can see where a mass nuke attack could piss us off enough to try genocide. I don't think it's likely though.
A nuke attack on just a few US cities (and not necessarily the biggest ones either) could devastate the US economy for years. I think if they can pull it off they will. I also doubt that the US will be their only target. I can see where they might attempt to provoke a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, and I can easily imagine them nuking GB or Aus.
Hope I'm wrong and you're right though. That would be nice. |

JJ, I hope you are wrong too. Who ever it hit, it would change the world for my lifetime. |
