Al Qaeda And The Nuclear Threat

By Semperpapa

According to some of the documents leaked out by Weakileak, Al Qaeda operatives are working on the application of nuclear material to IEDs that would be used against coalition forces in Afghanistan.

In a report published by the Daily Mail, terrorist operatives have been attempting to stockpile nuclear material to fabricate "dirty bombs" to be used in terrorist attacks against military forces and 9-11 style attacks against civilian targets.

The information was obtained by intelligence operatives from an Indian diplomat who stated that Al Qaeda may already be able, technically, to fabricate weapons going even beyond the simple "dirty"type of device.
The material they would be using could be fissile material slowly smuggled from the Pakistan stockpile, and considering that the news just broke last week that Pakistan has doubled its nuclear arsenal, one can conclude that such level of proliferation would facilitate the "misplacement" of small quantities of uranium and plutonium.

Once again, while our enemies increase their capability to inflict terrifying casualties upon our Military deployed and possibly against civilian targets here in the United States, the current administration is further getting in bed with the same characters, be it in Egypt or Pakistan.

The fact that Pakistan is characterized as an allied nation, whatever that may entail, does not translates in the absence of radical elements within the leadership of Pakistan who are more interested in undermining the success of the American operations in Afghanistan.
All one has to analyze is the conduct of Saudi Arabia, a country that has been working assiduously toward the expansion of radical Islam in the United States, utilizing the very laws of our country, for the sole purpose to undermine our society.
Pakistan just does the same remotely by affording asylum to the Taliban and Al Qaeda within its borders providing training and support.
And one cannot forget the threat that nuclear Iran represents in regard to the ability of terrorist cells acquiring nuclear material. Anyone who believes that Ahmedinejad would have any hesitation in sharing some enriched uranium with someone like Kahlid Sheik Mohamed or Osama Bin Laden, really needs to have their heads examined.
And yet, Obama is all to willing to break bread with Mohamed AlBaradei and the Muslim Brotherhood, the first who kept his eyes shut at the IAEA as Teheran marched toward its nuclear reality, the second an organization that has been laying the foundations for an Islamic state for the last 90 years.

What are we facing is an increasing chance for some horrendous terrorist attack perpetrated against our interests, either against our forces in theater or against civilian targets on our soil.
Compiling the danger we are facing is the absolute shamble of our southern border.
Just last week the information about some radical imam who had been deported from Canada, was caught trying to be smuggled into the United States from Mexico.
Also just made public was the report of an Iranian suicide bomber booklet that was found in the Arizona desert just north of the border.

While the pro-illegal immigration crowd is so vocal about the "rights" of illegal aliens, the criminal Washington crowd is purposely or by incompetence avoiding any attempt to secure the border.
DHS Janet Napolitano is adamant in finding excuses for what is a clear failure of the administration in insuring that terrorists do not enter our country.

Disturbing reports have surfaced about large numbers of Middle Eastern men residing in certain parts of Mexico and certain South American countries, learning to speak Spanish.
In many cases, it is difficult to separate Mexican from Middle Eastern somatic traits, potentially creating the best fertile ground for wanna be terrorists to enter the country.

And what would stop Al Qaeda operatives to do just that? And with some nuclear device?

It is unlikely that they would be able to smuggle in a 20-megaton device, but all it would really take is for a dirty device to be exploded downtown any city in the US, creating massive casualties and rendering the area inhabitable for decades to come.

What would be the reaction from the Obama administration?
Probably an immediate call for martial law and suspension of the Constitution.
And maybe that is the ultimate goal.

Just my thoughts!
