#4  Would the use of Nuclear weapons on U.S. troops in Afghanistan trigger a nuclear response by a President Obama? Or will he weasel his way out of having to respond?

After all Carter was able to weasel his was out of responding to an outright act of war. That is a good part of how we got into this mess.

#3  WASHINGTON TIMES > US TERROR ATTACK [new] SEEN APT TO FOLLOW 2008 ELECTION. 9-11 occurred as the USGovt was debating on how to deal wid OSAMA BIN LADEN's organz terror network, which had declared war on the USA. OSAMA, AQ + RADICAL ISLAM may decide FUTURE COURSE9S) OF ACTION as dependent on whom wins the 2008 POTUS Elex.

#2  Just more evidencia/indica that OSAMA, RADICAL ISLAM, + IRAN, etc. are now pointing the ISLAMIST-JIHADIST SWORD SQUARELY AT RUSSIA, CENTRAL ASIA, + PERIPHERALS. Collectively, they're gambling that MSM-reported "LAME DUCK" DUBYA = USA WON'T INVADE IRAN AS HOPED/DESIRED BY OSAMA etal., NOR WILL RISK "GREAT POWERS" MIL CONFRONTATION IN SENSITIVE REGIONS, MORESO DURING A MAJOR US ELEX YEAR.

AFTER YEAR 2010 -2012 > THE ISLAMIST JIHAD WILL NOT ONLY ENDURE BUT WILL BE NUCLEAR [indigenous]["limited first strike" level?]. ANTI-US ARMS-NUKE = MILTECH TRANSFERS WILL STILL REMAIN AS "JUST-IN-CASE".

#1  Be VERY VERY careful what you wish for. I don't know how many nukes Pakistan has (I suppose we could ask Jimmeh), but I'll be willing to bet that the US has a LOT more. And, IIRC, it is the policy of the US to respond to a nuclear attack - with a nuclear attack.
If you and all your jihadi brethren would like to become radioactive plasma, go ahead and try to attack the US with nukes.
