I dunno - but if it is, I want to see video and sound with an English translation on the six oclock news tonight. Im not sure if this is real or not, but Im willing to expect the worst and act appropriately, as opposed to promote my own intellectual supremecy and claim its all roadkill. The advantage of taking the "its all Bush's roadkill" stance however, is that you wont have to publicly admit your stupidity afterwards because you wont be here.

Slo, maybe it's because we North Americans haven't spent the last 2000 years killing each other over religion and/or trying to steal each others' resources.

Kanth - this is the internet. I don't think I need to say more. This 'interview' has no verifiable source other than some unknown professor in Portugal. It smacks of the old 'our source in Area 51 says he watched the whole autopsy' ploy. Now you can choose to believe it all if you like, in the same way as you can choose to believe aliens had something to do with the death of Elvis.

Just take five minutes to look at it objectively. Like Wulfie says, if they had a nuke in the US, they'd have used on 9-11 instead of a relatively unsophisticated hijacking with knives. Secondly, which anonymous European state is funding Al Queda's nuke purchase scheme? Your guess is as good as mine, but I can't see any of them doing it. Not one. Not even Russia. All the Eastern European nations are clamoring to get into NATO.

It's a construct designed to hit all the bases in terms of paranoia. The current French/German, European controversy for instance.

So we are materialistic, how does that make us different than the oil cartel in the middle east or japan, germany, france, etc. People with money buy things, that's why we make it. I think alot of what this guy is saying is BS anyway, and their plan even if successful will not succeed.

Think about it 7 nukes go off, to put us in a deficit, you don't think that american companies and individuals and even the government wouldn't make sizable donations and a deficit would not be created. The american people and humans in general have a large capacity for compassion and the rebuilding would be close to free and we would bounce back I am sure.

Dowding... you know exactly what I mean... not gonna play word games with you all day again because you cant voice an effective argument.

How did you know that I believe aliens had something to do with the death of Elvis?

Well if voicing an 'effective argument' revolves around getting personal then I really can't be arsed either.

I don't see what Bush has to do with this. This 'interview' hasn't been mentioned by the Bush administration, nor has it been mentioned on any news-service. Perhaps you know different, but I suspect not. I bow to the effectiveness of your argument.

It's a secret Kanth. I can't say anything more because I can hear the rotor blades and running feet. Luckily, I'm wearing my tin hat too.

If someone could take out 7 major cities in the US at the same time or pretty close to one another - the US would go the way of the Roman Empire.... no doubt about it

that is exactly why we must strike first........... after is too late.

The Roman Empire was destroyed by civil war and purely internal strife.

Comparing the US to an Empire built on subjugation, conquest and slavery might call forth Toad's wrath.

Terrorism can only be effective when it's source is hidden. Let even one nuke be detonated in the US and we'll likely go after them with a vengence the world has never seen. Irrespective of whether the country in which they are hiding has pretended to be our friend. Those countries know this and will likely hold short the reins of those organizations intent on our destruction.

Islamic terrorists citing the US rejection of the Kyoto agreement as justification for their cause? Nuke 7 cities and then send in 2 or 3 cropdusters? Attack the labs which make smallpox vaccine? This is colorful.
