-Caveat Lector-
Bin Laden is reported to have as many as 20 tactical nuclear
weapons.
Consider this...
20 low-yield nukes go off in major cities around the world.
After seeing what effect a the crashed jets had on the
west - imagine what would happen to civilisation.
Now imagine we're in luck, only 6 are detonated as intel
intercepts the other 14 devices.
effected by the nuclear devices are:
NYC
Washington
London
Paris
Tokyo
Brussels
Don't forget that these terrorists don't fear escalation...
this is a holy war in the name of Alah.
10 KTs might be low yield, but who's gonna go back to work
when half the city's being evapourated.
Total panic ensues followed by almost instant and absolute
economic meltdown.
US respond with nuclear weapons, what good does that
do, the game is already over.

screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are

directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
