ISIS brags it can get a nuke or dirty bomb into US

[Doc Safari]

I think they could probably do it, but I also think it would be the last thing they would want to do. Obviously the douchebags have forgotten what happened after Pearl Harbor - coming soon to the middle-east near you, 8 million pissed off American soldiers.

Seriously? Pearl Harbor? Any Muslim punk wannabe combatant that's even heard of Pearl Harbor probably thinks she's a decadent infidel entertainer!

How about the fact that the entire Jihadist world believes we lost in Afghanistan and Iraq? Not to mention the fact that Barry is considered at the least a weak president and at the most a Muslim sympathizer.

If I were some goat-smelling camel jockey over there right now I'd be seeing the US as a paper tiger.

If 9-11 wasn't enough to get the job done...

I got to be honest, it wasn't for me. It certainly wasn't worth the curtailing of rights and inconveinence which resulted. What has been the net gain? Absolutely no disrespect intended for the families of the persons who perished, or for the many thousands who were impacted by that heinous act. We should have just very quietly and efficiently went about killing off the folks we could identify as being involved without any fanfare, continuing the process as we identified more through intelligence efforts.

[Honu]

yes because most have forgotten about 9/11 ! (as mentioned by steyr)
OH never mind Bush did that

The question isn't whether ISIS can smuggle a nuke into the U.S. but whether ISIS can actually get a nuke. Supposedly nukes have trace elements that can help identify where they came from. I have doubts that any of the current nuke players want to risk being identified as supplying one to the ISIS shitheads. Of course with the current Shitstain-in-Chief they might just get a stern talking to......

Maybe we'll just accidentally ship them some of our own like anthrax.

I don't actually wish it would happen of course, I was insinuating that it would take an event like this for the politicians and others to realize how vulnerable we really are. I apologize if it came across that way.

If such a horrific event were to transpire, let it be in Detroit or Dearborn as the landscape won't change much before or after.

I seriously DO NOT want to see ISIS succeed in setting off a WMD in this country. Are you guys nuts?

What I DO hope for is that a credible plot will be interrupted and the perps dealt with....that should be enough to get the American public awake and demanding their "representatives" take action.

This.

Can someone smuggle something into the US? Duh, of course. Not like all these drugs are made in the US.

Will someone give these. psychos a bomb? Well clearly nobody HAS, or this wouldn't be a discussion about hypotheticals.

Don't forget many of these groups are funded by war-mongering millionaires.

Remember: they are terrorists. They deal in creating fear. Threatening a weak point in our security is their bread and butter, regardless of their ability to carry out such a threat. That said, dirty bombs are not as hard to gather materials for or construct as one might think. I would bet solidly that they are trying to make one. As for an actual nuke, I have serious doubts they could get one. Even a rogue nation would be loth to part with a strategic asset, even if it did trash their most hated enemy.
