Reports Reveal Zarqawi Nuclear Threat

Bill Gertz reports that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may possess some kind of nuclear device.

Recurrent intelligence reports say al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi has obtained a nuclear device or is preparing a radiological explosive — or dirty bomb — for an attack, according to U.S. officials.

The classified reports have been distributed to U.S. intelligence agencies for several consecutive months and say Zarqawi, al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, has stored the nuclear device or dirty bomb in Afghanistan, said officials familiar with the intelligence.

One official said the intelligence is being questioned because analysts think al Qaeda would not hesitate to use a nuclear device if it had one.

However, the fact that the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has reported the nuclear threat in several classified reports distributed since December indicates concern about it.

We need to act before the Nuclearization of Terrorism makes the War on Terror a Nightmare

But we need to act on this pretty fast, before the Jihadis acquire nuclear capability, making the nuclear option useless. And future Nuclear terror attacks makes 9/11 seem like a dress rehearsal. While the right focus is placed on the proliferation of nuclear capability in Iran; not much attention is being paid to Pakistan. Today Pakistan has 30 nuclear warheads. If we wait for a few years, then this number will grow to 200 warheads and they would be dispersed in different countries in different hands, some of these hands would belong to the Al Qaeda. The Al Qaeda-Pakistan Army connection is not just a bogey. It is real. Some serving officers have been detained for having passed on critical information to the Al Qaeda. We also need to remember that when Musharraf was in the US, General Aziz, Gen Musharraf’s right hand man who brought him to power, had said that “America is Islam’s enemy number one.”

So we need to urgently and decisively act against all nuclear aspiring Muslim states, especially the only Muslim Nuclear power which has aggressively named its Atom bomb the Islamic Bomb – Pakistan. Unless we act before the Nuclearization of Terrorism makes the War on Terror a Nightmare, we shall unfortunately have to confront Jihadis having nuclear arms and have only the following two dead-end options:

- be prepared to either end up destroying all life on this globe fighting the Jihadis to death;

- or surrender to the Jihadis and accept Islam as the religion for the entire world!

Yes, we are well aware that our Hiroshima option suggestion will be censored by those many blind-to-reality liberals and those hand-in-glove friends of the Jihadis those defeated communists and discredited left-leaning liberals of the Noam Chomsky clan. But we can bypass their objections and set our determination to go about winning the war on terror with such daring non-conventional means – since we face a non-conventional enemy. Only such smartness and iron-will can break the Jihadis and the Islamic faith that represents their world view which is today shared by one billion and a half humans. The other option is a Vietnam all over the places we go – Afghanistan, Iraq, followed by Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia with an endless stream of body bags coming home and a clamor to end the war, with a prospect of losing the war on terror to a beastly enemy signaling the end of human progress and civilization.

Our current policy of sending in ground troops and policing the Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, once we have subdued the established governments, is fast proving to be a failure. The Jihadi snipers can pick our marines one by one at ease and bleed us as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. While we foolishly spend billions of dollars in reconstruction of these countries in an effort to win their hearts and minds. Such reconstruction is meaningless since their hearts and minds are anyway turned against us in a civilizational divide that goes back to the foundation of Islam where for them, we are unbelievers and infidels who should be converted to Islam by force or be killed or be humiliated to be treated as dhimmis (second class citizens). The Jihadis care two hoots for reconstruction of Iraq or Afghanistan, in fact they want to disrupt this reconstruction effort and make a laughing stock out of us. The number of Muslims who support us is negligible, and they too are scared to death to openly support us. Till the beastly mentality of Islam is not eradicated, it is futile for us to spend money to reconstruct these countries. It is also futile to establish democracy and secularism in these countries till the temperamental core of these countries remains Islamic. The paranoid submission to religion that Islam demands alongwith the call of Jihad to convert the world to Islam, goes against the spirit of both democracy and secularism. The countries of the Muslim world that we overrun are not Germany or Japan after World War 2. The populations of the Muslim countries hate us in a civilizational divide dating back to the foundation of Islam. This was not so in the case of Germany or Japan.

We need to first. break the stranglehold of Islam on the minds of these people and this calls for iron-clad measures. Only after we are able to break Islam, can we start the reconstruction of the post Islamic ex-Muslim countries. Till then the smart thing would be withdraw our troops from Afghanistan and Iraq and not send any more in the Islamic crescent. And to give Iraq and Afghanistan followed by other Islamic countries the Hiroshima treatment, one after the other, till they either give up Islam or perish.

Safeguarding our rear by neutralizing the enemy within

But before we begin such action globally, we need to safeguard our rear, in our homeland. For this we need to take into preventive custody all those whose loyalties as Americans are suspect. All Americans of middle-eastern origin and all tourists and students of Arab and Muslim extraction, including all Arab and Muslims in our military, should be relocated into reserves to be kept out of harms way (i.e. to keep them from harming us). We know that this suggestion will draw explosive reactions, but we cannot fight a war with half-hearted measures. The enemy we have living amidst us today in the War on Terror is far unlike the Japanese Americans or German Americans or those locally bred Nazis of World War 2 vintage. The enemy living amidst us today is really malignant and malicious. Only with our rear safeguarded we can rest assured that we will not be stabbed in our back in our homeland with our bridges blown off, railroads messed around and subway stations gassed, while we pursue the war on terror across the globe. No amount of pacification and appeasement by declaring that “Islam is a religion of peace” and by visiting Mosques will help us in protecting our rear and flanks, when we start sending broadsides to hit our enemy’s jugular in the final struggle. Hence these iron-clad measures need to be taken before we start the final struggle. There are no soft options if we are to win against a beastly enemy. Please ponder upon this unorthodox but honest advice, Mr. President.
