NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Bush administration dismissed claims reported Saturday in a Pakistani English-language newspaper that suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden has nuclear and chemical weapons and will use them against the United States if attacked.

While he did not mention bin Laden by name, Bush said, "These same terrorists are searching for weapons of mass destruction, the tools to turn their hatred into holocaust. They can be expected to use chemical, biological and nuclear weapons the moment they are capable of doing so."http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/11/10/ret.binladen.nuclear/So how'd they become "capable of doing so?" If this was dismissed as a threat in 2001, why is it such a threat three years later that Dick Cheney is warning about it?
Who didn't secure the loose nukes from the former Soviet Union?
Who didn't secure the borders, the ports, the chem/nuke facilities?
Who didn't do their job?
