I would say that it would be prudent to keep up offensive actions to assure that the kerroists do not have the time to put all of the pieces together. No telling how much technical information the Kahn network from Pakistan was able to pass on to our enemies and their allies.

They only need to perfect one and set it off in a western country....claim they have 3 or 4 more...and make all the demands they want on a frightened and shocked world. I believe that is their ultimate goal. I hope we can stop it from happening. Perhaps we already have more than once and won't read about it until 30 years from now. Here's hoping.

For $13,000 a terrorist could purchase enough diesel fuel, blasting caps, and fertilizer to build a daisy cutter.

That's roughly 0.1% of a small nuke. It makes a nice mushroom cloud to scare the news media into Chicken Littles and gets lots of global airplay, too.

It's also more than 1,000 times as powerful as the car bombs that are being set off in Baghdad. It's roughly a bit more powerful than what went off in OKC back in 1995.

And you could fit it into a truck, plane, or ship.

The technology involved is pre-WW1. Even Palestinians could be taught how to build one.

Call me when they manage to build a simple dasiy cutter. Until then, nukes are out of the question for their level of expertise.
