Just because Portland is having a drill on the 5th doesn't mean it's going to get attacked by an actual nuke pretty soon.

Doesnt portland have like 2 state troopers to patrol its coastal boarders. I went there once and drove along the coast for its entirety. I could have set bond fires to beached whales and no one would have noticed. If I was going to attack anywhere or smuggle something in it would be there.....two of them.
I know the article is old but if i had to pick a date this year i would pick aug 6.
After that i would pick 9/9/2007(2+9)= 999, Wich upside down is...

2.) How would the supposed "terrorists" the government would finger as the perpetrators of such a heinous act, have acquired a working nuke?
In an interview with the newsmagazine Sixty Minutes, Lebed said:
I'm saying that more than a hundred weapons out of the supposed number of 250 are not under the control of the armed forces of Russia. I don't know their location. I don't know whether they have been destroyed or whether they are stored or whether they've been sold or stolen, I don't know.
According to Lunev, the number of “missing” nuclear devices (as found by General Lebed) “is almost identical to the number of strategic targets upon which those bombs would be used”. He suggested that they might be already deployed by the GRU operatives.

So what nuclear material would "make sense" that the US can get its hands on?

They can't use a military nuke. Even if they were able to somehow keep the material from being traced, the ratio of the yield to the wasted material would be wrong for an ameteur-built nuke. They'll need a real live home-made nuke to be dirty and small enough.
And where will they get someone to build it who is too stupid to figure out what the government would want with a home made nuke?
They'll have to help a real live terrorist, like they probably did on 9/11.
And then where will they get a uranium that makes sense? They can't steal it from most foreign sources because if that operation fails the terrorists will be interrogated, they will name their backers, and those backers will be traced to the US Government.

Wasn't one of the least reported stories of 2006 something about Halliburton supplying Nigerian Uranium to Iran?

I predict a nuclear attack on America this Monday.
August 6. is the most likely date for the "American Hiroshima" attack since Hiroshima itself was nuked on this day. Wether Al-Qaeda nukes the US in American local time or Hiroshima local time, i don't know.
Intelligence gathered from captured al-Qaida documents and interrogations of captured operatives has provided the U.S. with some specific information about Osama bin Laden's favored dates for his decade-long plan for an "American Hiroshima" nuclear terrorist attack .
Numbers, calendars important
to bin Laden include Aug. 6
