‘The Russians believe that he has a handful [of nuclear weapons], the Saudi intelligence services are very conservative, perhaps they are friendly to the United States, believe that he has in the neighborhood of 20,’ Bodansky said ‘...he is looking for and recruiting former Soviet special forces in learning how to operate the bombs behind enemy lines....”

If they really had nukes, why would they have put us on our guard with the 9/11 attacks? Why wouldn't they just put them in place and make that their first strike? They stand a much greater chance of failure now than they did before 9/11. It doesn't make sense.

It would make sense to you if you knew what they were up to. Read Yossef Bodansky's book. He makes it clear that they are very much in the business of 'measured' attacks. They think they are sending particular messages to particular people. They calibrate the attack to the expected response. They know if they use nukes ... we will use nukes ... and our nukes are bigger. Much bigger. These guys do not, contrary to popular opinion have a death wish. Far from it. If we continue with our limited response rather than an all out assault (which I'm hoping against hope for once we take over Ashcanistan) they will up the ante.

That is what I thought as well, and would like to think.

But suppose they wish to wait until after we strike back to get more Muslim support worldwide, as outlined by Stanislav Lunev I believe in a newsmax article?
