News: Uranium found at bin Laden/Al-Qaeda base...

According to the UK's TELEGRAPH: Alliance forces have reportedly found Uranium in a base of fleeing terrorist mastermind Usama bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda fanatic network, outside of Kandahar. Developing...

I couldn't find the article about it, but this is pressing news indeed! They might not be lying.... about them having nuclear weapons, damn.

Hehe, they can make a "dirty bomb" . But seriously, that seems scary, they could have more. They might just use it, who knows where. "Dirty Bomb"

Oh, so this has a trick also. I was wondering why US could bring something new without any reason...
Let's see :
Al q. has uranium --> They planned to make an A-bomb --> Of course they would've killed
millions of people without US Army's justificate attack.

Somehow I have a strange feeling about this...

You think a dirty bomb is funny? Some kind of silly joke? A dirty bomb is the ultimate in ecological devastation, it would effectively 'salt the earth' in a 100 mile wide, 300 mile long oval, for thousands of years, and you think it is a joke.

Thanks for removing all doubt.

Oh, wait, don't tell me, let me guess. The evil US planted the uranium there, right? Well, that's easy enough to check. All radioactive material has a unique 'signature' which tells where it was processed. All we have to do is check the signature, and that can be done in many places for verification. Of course the labs will be lying won't they?

\/\/hatever

Osama is glowing down!

You fellers can argue all year about it, but the Third world nations like Iraq and Syria have a long way to go building a weapon of mass destruction without the help of a major nation.

A nuclear bomb is a bit beyond the Al-Quieda network's capabilities, methinks...unless they buy one that is "ready-to-fire."

The West's concern about nuclear bombs for third and second world nations is not about what nationality owns the bomb, but what personality is in command and what reason the nation in question has for needing such a super weapon.

And in regard to Osama's stash of the glowing stuff....
Afghanistan can't even build a tractor so there's little need to get worried...I think the US military has no shortage of targets...it doesn't have to invent any.

And if the world likes it or not, the North Americans are going to be hunting these filthy terror organisations anyway.
So if you don't like the "poor old terrorists" getting immolated...tough luck!

Al Qaeda, could have, though, constructed a "dirty bomb" out of one of their Toyotas and drove it into downtown Kabul...(beats me how they'd get it in the U.S., if they wanted to...)

Well, I was only joking about the name, I know these are huge ecological destructors, and frankly I hope anyone who had to do with the uranium is put to justice.

Much easier would be just to say that there was uranium...

I just read a news article that says the rumors of Al-Queida possession of nuclear materials were greatly exaggerated. Apparently some Afghan general with too much ego and not enough brains decided to pump his rep a little by getting some air time. Inspectors at sites captured from Taliban and Al-Queida forces have detected only natural background radiation that is present everywhere in the universe, including our underpants.

So everyone heave a big ole sigh of relief, and then remember that the Al-Queida network has been TRYING to get the stuff for a while now, and reconsider the sigh.

I'll attempt to paste a link:
