Will our own government set off a nuclear device in order to declare a state of emergency to impose martial law and then blame the attack on a foreign country in order to start another war?
Who knows.

You bet...when Hillary's in office, for sure.

Let's remember that Osama and his organization are not merely a "street gang". They're a well-funded criminal organization with physicists, chemists, biologists, programmers, cryptographers, and experienced fighters. There's enough cash to carry on even with some of their funds frozen after 9/11. Let's not forget about the 84 MISSING "nuclear mines", as the Russian Defense Ministry refers to them, that easily fit in a backpack. When the Soviet Union collapsed, soviet soldiers had gone for weeks without pay and would've taken any offer to turn their backs or hand over keys to a Russian Mobster looking for hot black market commodities. That's the theory on why they're missing and none have turned up. Where are they? I imagine in different hands waiting for buyers, some are getting back-engineered for replication, and we will likely not find them until one explodes. Who would want 'em? Guess. Let's also not forget about our porous borders and the even more porous oness in the countries beneath us, where people from further south and even around the world manage to get before coming here. There've been Chinese intercepted there, koreans, middle easterners, etc... Is it possible one of these guys with a strong mexican resemblance could swim across into El Paso with a nuke? I live there. People do it. I've seen them nearly getting run over charging across the highway 20 feet from the fence they cut a hole in, after swimming over. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME...

"Why are so many of the 911 Hijackers still alive"

prizowhales:

Some comments are allmost too stupid to respond too. The Hijackers from 911 aren't alive, they died when the plances crashed. ALso in case you were wondering that was a plane that hit the pentagon, not a missle and Bush didn't put bombs in the basement of the trade centers to bring them down. Those things you saw on tv are called planes and they hit the buildings and the pentagon.

Anyone who thinks are government knew abuot 911 before the fact or that they actually were behind bringing the towers down are complete idiots.

We have made some bad choices since 911 and maybe some of our leaders should of seen warning signs but they did not know or plan these attacks and anyone who thinks so needs to stop trusting every conspiracy theory they read.

Mueller's got his goons up in New Hampshire with the Federal Marshals preparing to murder the Browns who are in a stand off for American freedom against the lackies of the Regime. The marshalls have already shot at, tasered and threatened one of the Brown's house guests for the high crime of walking a dog.

The Browns were sentenced in absentia after the Regime's black-robed ambulance chaser refused to show them the law that says Americans have to file an income tax return (there is none!).

While dozens of feds are after the peaceful Browns, areas of the Mexican border region are described as 'more dangerous than the West Bank'. While the feds prosecute and attack citizens, the Regime wants to give illegals tax amnesty--and amnesty to murderous drug dealers and aggravated child molestors...

...as the Bush Regime calls for "mandatory minimums", the same regime calls for amnesty for the most dangerous of the illegal immigrants and the odious bureaucrat, Mueller spreads fear of a nuclear attack from over a border that the Regime pointedly refuses to protect!!

90% of this website is day old 'news'. Only this Mueller *** is updated. If he cares so much about us, why does he not speak out aagainst the idiot in the white house who keeps selling us out to the Israelis who provoke so much anger against us?

Well, Mueller...why are many of the so-called 9-11 hijackers still alive? Its been 6 years since 9-11...have you thought about taking your new $40 million dollar ride over to Saudi Arabia and Morocco to talk to some of them? No?--Why not? If I knew of someone who survived one of these 'suicide' attacks, I'd at least be curious of how they survived unscathed...unless, of course, I was more interested in maintaining the Regime's 9-11 Official Fairy Tale.

The border is wide open. Why don't you tootle on down in your expensive ride to the Rio Grande for a look-see? Two dollar heroin for our teens...can't disturb the trade? You are scum, Mueller.

Here we go again with the fear mongering. Get everyone all worried about nukes now, huh? I remember playing this game with Ronnie back in the 80's. These losers never get tired of pulling our strings. What ever happened to the rainbow terror warning system? Did that get a little too obvious?

zopa108,

A government is needed for the initial development of a portable weapon. As previously posted, our own government has worked on such things.

Our own experience with Los Alamos & Livermore Labs, not to mention with Aldrich Ames and Hansen, demonstrates that the government doesn't have to officially transfer the technology for it to get into the wrong hands.

There's plenty of fissionable material on the black market and so is the technology. Money is what moved zProfessor Khan to do what he did.

We need to focus on low tech methods as well, but we can't ignore this threat.

Also, I don't agree that Iran would necessarily be the most likely source. It could just as likely be North Korea or Pakastan(like with Khan) or South Africa or Russia, because it may or may not be an official government program.

It could even come from a mole within our own government or military,like Ames or Hansen or Pollard.

How about it Mueller?--Where are you guys going to plant the nuclear device, you piece of trash?

In the first attack on the WTC, the informant inside the conspiracy was pointedly told NOT to replace the explosives with a harmless powder. Luckily, the informant taped his FBI handler-- they had betrayed their informant and tried to put him in prison as part of the conspiracy. Why isn't the FBI disciplining its people? Why haven't the Congressional oversight committees dealt with this case of FBI homicide? Six people would be alive today if the FBI had never existed. What about the FBI assassin who murdered a woman holding a baby with a high-powered rifle. They paid off the husband...none of these FBI crooks got a day in jail.

Panhandlepete..I agree..the Repubs are FOS (full of Sh%%)which includes the CIA, FBI, GOP, GOA, etc... they have been organizing crime for centuries just as they are organizing spiritual warfare as a tool to increase fear in those people who have no faith within this country because they (the Bush Dictators)suspect no one will ask questions nor will they have to answer to anyone, but there is a greater force we all must consider here and believe me Bush's Administration sends the message to America "to be fearful" which politically is the only way to address indirectly his false promises that were made to the American people from the beginning, therefore most Repubs are coward men who will use war as a stratagy to organized crime with FEAR being their official tactic for a continuous destructive war...used as an excuse to raise taxes, unemployment, health care expenses, etc..you know the spill....

Another attempt to scare the American people into thinking we must afraid and to think that we must attack Iran, who after all is supporting the terrorist, right????

This is just part of the last desperate push of the neocons, still hanging around Cheney, to start a war with Iran.

very fitting that this article falls under "politics"

because that's what mueller's playing

instaed of wipping up angst, why doesn't he shut-up and do his fricking job -

no need to see his ugly mug not listen to his Rove scripted speeches.

if you think the Bushies have taken over the DOJ, don't kid yourselves, the FBI dances too.

It sounds like after the fact action by the FBI is too late. You would need all the efforts by the CIA and other intelligence services to head off any attempt to be successful. Given the lack of cooperation between the FBI and intelligence services, I am doubtful.
