Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds


Come to think of it, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Iraq, Thailand, Afghanistan.. Chechnya, Moscow, .... but no attacks inside the US. Maybe its working.


Uh maybe John Ashcroft, the Ayatolla Baptistola, had something to do with this? People are disappearing off the streets ya know?

TSJ: The bombing of the French sub folk: It doesn't strike you that the one thing that did was clear up the the possibility of Mush dreaming of turning to other powers for "help"? That the EU/Frenchies were not going to be a "counterweight" to the US, at least not in Pak, anytim...

Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds

Well, it is certainly a terrific read, I'll say that. But I'm not sure that the CIA has the wherewithall to have Saudi princes killed or to have one of the royal family do it. I'm not sure Bandar is up to that kind of task. This is no mere car bombing for Bandar to arrange. The Paki Air Marshall is ...

Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds

Well, I really hadn't finished the message yet as I was on to other recreational pursuits. The point is about Somalia is that nobody in America cared about the troops staying and in fact, they wished them to be pulled out of such a miserable place. We really saw no purpose to the fighting in Somalia...

Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds

Somalia was of no consequence to the American public. In fact, Boustros Ghali (remember him?) demanded an American presence there if we were to take action in Bosnia. According to him, if we were going to care about white muslims we were going to care about black muslims as well("wogs" was...

Re: Weapons & Equipment for Special Forces

The Capitol Police (those police who are strictly assigned to the capitol building) in Washington DC only have pistols. Some do wear protective vests, but that's about it.

Re: Snipers of the Indian Army

I am not quite sure why Somalia was a "turning point" for snipers?<P>The Delta Force men were denied permission 2 times to rope down and try to save the chopper crew. Finally, reluctantly given permission by the commanding officer on the scene, they roped down and met their destiny. Their ...

Re: Bombing Bombay? - Study of n-holocaust

An airburst does not leave large amounts of radioactive debris that needs to be "dumped into the ocean". In fact, the airburst over Hiroshima left very little radioactive debris or "fallout". An airburst gives out an initial high burst of radioactive waves that can be very deadly...
