There is ample evidence from impeccable sources that the Islamist-Jihadist forces are adamant on striking out before the U.S. elections. Some of the warnings specify a commitment to inflicting mass casualties on an unprecedented scale – perhaps through the use of a nuclear suitcase-bomb (which they definitely have).
This is total BS. If they had a "suitcase nuke", they would have used it by now, either against our troops, or in a large city.
I disagree. Do you really think these terrorists are "on their own." They have a command and control structure, and answer ultimately to terrorist-supporting nations, who give them their money, weapons, training and techology. The terrorists who deliver the bombs are following orders. They are carrying out a plan. They don't just go around blowing Nukes. This requires extensive planning to minimize/avoid the massive blowback the US and its allies are capable of generating.
I'm surprised so many Americans have no clue how much planning goes into an operation like 911. For instance, it seems perfectly obvious to me that OBL and Co. packed those planes with Saudis for a reason. They were attempting to make sure that the blowback of the 911 operation was directed back at OBL's sworn enemy: SAUDI ARABIA. Yet, I have never heard any US official (or Saudi for that matter) make the connection. In short, the terrorists we face are super-sophisticated...very different from the average American's view of the "Arab Street."
