#1 Believe it or not, US officials have already stated that even if they could trace PU or U from a terror attack to a state like Pakistan, that would not mean retaliation since non state actors could have gotten hold of material without the complicity of Pak (or NoKo) officials.

#4 If a terrorist group were to detonate a nuclear weapon on U.S. soil, the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security and the nation's national labs would race to track down those responsible and prevent any further detonations by that group.

Well THAT'S a relief. I'm sure they will have all the proper warrants and read everyone involved their bloody rights.

What's the prize for the agency winning the "race", I wonder? Shiny new Blackberries all around?

#5 Huh. Yet another article that talks about "a" nuclear weapon. If it happens, it's not going to be "a" detonation. If they can smuggle one in, they can smuggle more. They'd be stupid to even bother if they only have one device (it's not as though they'd get a second chance), and if they have more, then they'd be stupid not to try to smuggle in every last one they have and detonate them all simultaneously the day after they're all in place, or the moment one of the bombs or smuggling teams is discovered. The only way it'll be "a" detonation is if it's the second team that is intercepted.
There really seems to be a failure of imagination on this point.

#6 In the absence of major or decisive battlefield victory agz US, + absence/preclusion of placing their orgaz fate and Regional-Global Jihad wholly in the control of "infidel", etc. Anti/Non-Islamist world powers, THAT ONLY LEAVES MASS = HIGH PROFILE NUCLEAR-WMD TERROR ATTACKS + ESCALATORY "MUTUAL DESTRUCTION" OPTIONS.

OSAMA + RADICAL ISLAM NEED THE "ISLAMIST BOMB" [NUKE/POPULATION SWORD?]NOW, NOT LATER - this means traditional "Shia versus Sunni" rivalry is out, HELPING + PROTECTING + EXPANDING NUCLEARIZING IRAN + OTHER ANTI-US MILITANT MUSLIM STATES IS "IN", espec vv RUSSIA + CENASIA. Just in case the US does decide to attack and invade IRAN, Radical Islam can still acquire NUCTECHS + NUCBOMBS vv VARI MAFIAS + UNSECURE COLD WAR SOVIET ARSENALS-CACHES IN FORMER SSR's-RUSSIA, IFF THE ISLAMISTS DON'T HAVE THESE ALREADY AS PER VARI POST-9-11 NET SOURCES INCLUDING OFFICIOS WITHIN THE RUSS GOVT. ITSELF.
