Al Qaeda says would use Pakistani nuclear weapons

If it were in a position to do so, Al Qaeda would use Pakistan's nuclear weapons in its fight against the United States, a top leader of the group said in remarks aired on Sunday.

"God willing, the nuclear weapons will not fall into the hands of the Americans and the mujahideen would take them and use them against the Americans," Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, the leader of al Qaeda's in Afghanistan, said in an interview with Al Jazeera television. Abu al-Yazid was responding to a question about U.S. safeguards to seize control over Pakistan's nuclear weapons in case Islamist fighters came close to doing so. "We expect that the Pakistani army would be defeated (in Swat) ... and that would be its end everywhere, God willing."

Abu al-Yazid, also known as Abu Saeed al-Masri, said al Qaeda will continue "with large scale operations against the enemy" -- by which he meant the United States. "We have demanded and we demand that all branches of al Qaeda carry out such operations," he said, referring to attacks against U.S.-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The militant leader said al Qaeda would be willing to accept a truce of about 10 years' duration with the United States if Washington agreed to withdraw its troops from Muslim countries and stopped backing Israel and the pro-Western governments of Muslim nations.

I just saw this chilling interview on Al Jazeera English, will add it when it's available on their YouTube channel. He went on to say that the other part of their 'peace deal' would depend on everyone converting to Islam. If they refused, then a Muslim tax would be charged to non-Muslims.

that would be their goal in Pakistan. To get their hands on the nuclear weapons.

...is there no way we can get Muslim crazies and Christian crazies together on an island somewhere far away from the rest of us and just let them have at it?

Oh dear, but I forget the war profiteers. Someone think of the war profiteers!

They can go too.

Basically, he suggests fencing off four rectangular states and putting each of the different kinds of crazies into the respective states - there are plenty of weapons too! haha...

All that said, I hope these nuisances do eventually shoot themselves without us having to do anything. It would not surprise me if they eventually have infighting and they do start shooting themselves.
