So, i don't know the credibility of this source....but from what I hear, they're usually right on. Check out this article.

Terrorists, bombs smuggled across Mexico border by MS-13 gangsters"

From what I understand, extreme planning for such an Anti-America attack has been in the works for about a decade(10yrs), would probably be the worst recorded terrorist attack if it ever takes place.

Whether or not this is true, I'm honestly surprised such an attack hasn't taken place already. I mean, the nukes are on the black market. The problem is getting them in but smuggling shouldn't be too hard...

This is a tabloid, so "credible" is one of the last words I would apply to it ("amusing" being one of the first). I'd put it at 99% odds this story just fades into oblivion like the thousands of other false alarms.

And I sure hope it's not real. Nobody wants a 24-esque terrorist attack to turn into a reality.

Really? I have been looking at all the other stories on there and they follow right along with all the major news stations here in the U.S., all the facts from stories about the London attack and such line up with popular news networks. However, im assuming you have heard of this site before? If you have, then I guess your right...but if your just guessing its a tabloid, then im not so sure.

haha! I lived in a town full of MS-13's. Doesn't sound like them to smuggle nuclear weaponry anywhere. I had friends who were part of the mara when I lived in El Salvador.

If something like that did happen I fear what we would do to the ones responsible more than our liberties that may be limited. We would probably do something stupid like make a parking lot out of Iran without letting the civilians leave first. That is the biggest mistake we made with Bin Laden. When you use bombs, you don't really know if you got them or not and usually innocent people get hurt. If we had a less trigger happy stradegy for Bin Laden he would not have gotten away IMO. And the same goes for people who would do something like this.

Best part about this is, as soon as this "happens" we can say "bye-bye" to the middle east.

I think it's tabloid garbage. I mean, WorldNetDaily? Come on now.

Well I have never heard of WorldNetDaily myself, but it looked like a half-decent source. Apparently its not though. Still, the idea for such a story, even if a tabloid, had to of spawned from somewhere. Maybe its not true, but the fact still remain, there is an extremely large chance for a bigger than ever terrorist attack in the near future. Even if not nuclear, is still scary.

as they said, its not a if, but a when. sadly, i can see this country (u.s.) going down the sh*t tube. if you want my opinion, tomarrow i will post it, as i'm to tired rite now. but, there are 2 ways to kill teror. one, nuke the middle east. i know this is brutal and kinda natzi, but sadly, this may be the only way.

the other way is to send a "trator" to them, pretending to carry information on the U.S., but realy be carreing a distructive device. i will post my full ideas in audio tomarrow after i get back from the harbor.

I would believe it a lot more if they spelt Al-Qaeda correctly.
Apparently the US has "lost" 11 nuclear weapons, one of which is in water and hasn't been recovered.

That's just stupid. Apart from being wrong (not everyone in the Middle East is a terrorist ), they would simply nuke America back. What would stop them? Nothing. Don't forget, not all terrorists live in the Middle East.

That's the reasons nuclear wars don't happen, it's a stalemate between countries because most countries has nuclear weapons programs.

I vote for Terminator for the Head of the secret services job! He'd sort everything out and when you wake up in the morning the world will be safe and everyone will cuddle and love each other and live blissful happiness, now that the sworn enemies of the righteous and good have been crushed! And while he's at it, he can change the spelling of the word "traitor" to "trator" in all the dictionaries. The offending "i" being tied against a tree and shot.

All unfinished - to be released as retro titles in 5 years time.

Don't take it to heart Terminator, jabbing grammar and spelling mistakes with a stick is what passes for fun around here - we all make typos, it's just that we like to avoid the general mockery that a mistake can bring .

@Bouncy's Sig: Dubbya Doesnt know what supple means. Dumb it down.

I learned in 4th Grade that the word funner, wasnt a word.

That may seem off-topic, but last month, I had thought Russia had nukes...But when I went to the arms dealer, he said other-wise.

So, thats how these terrorists got nukes. AHAHAHA...They said they smuggled in. MA'm, And Sirs, I lived in Teaxas,(purpose spelling error) and they would shoot any mexican hiding in site (hicks, not in normal areas). I had to live with DL there... But that was in the early 1990s, when the liberals had some power left...when they left, suprisingly enough, people were abit nicer

They dont have nuclear weapons, they are lying.

I supplied them with something far more formiddable.


Their supply of skaro dollars was great. I was more than happy to lease my dalek army for a short while. Did I do the wrong thing?
