#1 If the Mullahs can sneak 12 warheads across a border they can damn sure sneak a nuke across as well.

If this attack does take place I doubt there will be an Iran before the year is out.

#2 I like Mansoor and all but he's claimed a lot of wacky stuff that never comes true... I think he just makes a lot of this crap up to be honest with you.

#3 Makes sense, AQ did say that another attack would come by the end of a February holiday. Remember, they pushed their Thanksgiving timeline to February.

Ok, could Bremer go on TV/radio, $25m for each unexploded warhead and $500K per terrorist alive?

And let the hunt begin, talk about reality TV.

And for the Kurds, kiss any independent state goodbye. I didn't protect them for 12 years for this treachery.

#4 FYI: Mansoor first made a splash when he showed up in Khartoum, Sudan, circa 1994, and made a play to get a percentage of the former Chevron oil concession. He was received by Hasan al-Turabi and General Bashir (the government leaders) because he could demonstrate Islamist credentials -- thanks to his father's contacts in Pakistan. Simply put, much of his reporting -- as you suggest -- is simply not believable.

#5 One problem I have with Ijaz is that he is a huge democrat backer and has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton (both of them) campaigns. It's even been said that he would vote for Hillary when she runs. Where does his allegiance lie? Anybody who pals around with Bill and Hill deserves a grain of salt to anything he says. On the other hand I really respect Brit and find it hard to believe he would feature someone without credibility unknowingly.
