"Nope the canadian system has invested a lot of control in the individual province...and hence when you move from one province to another you are faced with differing rules. It is publicly funded but not uniform." This is almost meaningless as it can mean anything. You obviously have not p...

Sino-Indian realtions only appear to be improving on the surface.The Chinese throw us a few scraps from its table and we somersault with joy I think you are being uncharitable. Thermonukes, Agni III, ATV, space command, ?beam/microwave munitions, 200 Su 30MKI,a base in Central Asia are not Pakistan ...

What is the evidence that Shaheen 2 has issued forth, like Karna, fully ready? Pakistan can't design a 4 cyclinder engine, but it can build a heat shield and guidance system? I don't think China would want Pakistan to test any of their hardware at this awkward time. There is no independent confirmat...

Hehe, so we have fully indigenous 3000km,2 stage capability have we.But they only thing Paks have tried to fire upwards into orbit is their pilots from crumbling Chinese Mig 19 copies. A 3000km range but no orbiting mission-muhahaha! I guess the Pakistani public is kept from schooling for a reason.

James Bund

It's beacause of my posts onlee.

James Bund

To be more effective need gamma source not alpha emmitter. Actually the health system would see very little additional burden until 10-20 yrs later with increase in cancers. The question would be to clean up, imperfectly, at a high cost or abdon the city at an even higher cost.

James Bund

It might be easier for the IAEA to list countries that weren't ivolved.

This story is just developing lads. But no one has an axe large enough to grind to let out WHY DID THE US NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN THEY KNEW?

"those news items about Pakistan are not vetted and are of doubtful provenance".

James Bund

Pakistan has nuclear devices-the Chagai 'tests' proved that. The question is how indigenous are they? As indigenous as the home-grown Abdali missile? Pakistan denied importing missiles and parts for years, yet Musharraf has recently acknowledged that No-Dongs were 'requested' (or some such word) fro...

Ok TSJ you can come out now.(Didn't mean that in a mean way).

James Bund

TSJ, will ya stop foaming at the mouth buddy? Khan has been not-so-quietly doing his thing for 25 yrs. And you're telling us he's not gotten away with it? :confused: Of course, I don't believe Pakistan's home-grown nuclear technology is any more sophisticated than their various barbarian namesake mi...

Just as we may yet have to learn to distinguish between the GOI and RIPE.

Can people try and post at a higher signal/noise ratio. Some of the posts I can't make sense of, the internet is not yet in the parlour.

A couple of things: The Jihadi bomb will detonate in Palo Alto-it will decapitate America, killing its brightest and most ambitious and destroying the foundations of America's lead in nanotechnology, biotech and informatics in the next 10-20 yrs. As an added bonus it will kill several thousand Hindu...

" If the US were attacked with a nuclear weapon, that would change all the rules - much more dramatically than 9-11 did (which dramatically widened the options available for the US to respond to both terrorism and Iraq). Those rule changes would have very serious security implications for India...

James Bund

A Pu bomb given by China in April 1998 using recently reprocessed Pu would appear as 1998 vintage, conversely a Pakistani or North Korean bomb made 10 yrs earlier would appear as 'old Pu' bomb even though detonated in 1998.

James Bund

Russia detonated its first bomb in 1949, a remarkable achievement. Its first H-bomb was detonated in 1953.

This is where a state funeral is given to the Mohim-e-mahimahi or whatever and he later turns up in cognito in, of course, Timbuktoo.

James Bund

So here come the open acknowledgements that the US did indeed suspect Pakistan of clandestinely procuring parts for its program as early as the late 1970s. Now to admit that they were not serious in pursuing Pakistan because of USSR in Afghanistan and the stage is set for some serious hand-wringing....

Pak nukes a bluff

Did Manoj Joshi read my comment posted yesterday re: there being no evidence that that Pak centrifuge technology does enrich isotopes to fission grade??

James Bund

Qadhafi thus probably felt a paternal interest in the Bhutto progeny.

Qadhafi, Benazir.. more like a paternity interest.

James Bund

America held accountable?

India has adjusted to the realities of a hostile nuclear armed Pakistan, now the rest of the world can have the same opportunity. :p

James Bund

Ayaz Amir fully understands the ground situation, but he is deluding himself if he thinks there is any other way for Pakistan to play it except to grovel. Pakistan is not Iran.

James Bund

"If we walk the right path, nothing like that would ever happen."

I love it when he salutes and says yas sar.

James Bund

Ok let's try to keep on track here. The events of the last 2 months should be intepreted as flagging off the American drive to clean up Pakistan. If I can figure it out, so can the jihadis.(We can worry about India's nukes when and if the time comes (it won't). What will teir response be. -depose Mu...

James Bund

To claim that the West did not have leverage against Pakistan, as Strobe Talbot does, is disingenuous-unless they thought pariah status would rally the Isamist masses and increase funding and proliferation activities. I accept that the US did not find it expedient to live up to its own stated policy...

James Bund

But at least Pakistan can contiue denying accusations-only from now on they will be denying having denied proliferation to Iran, Libya etc. I tell ya this is a watershed in the maturing of the Pak psyche-now they have to admit what the 'Hindu b@stards' think of them was right all along.

James Bund

Abdul's best days have long been over, his most original contribution being the purloined centrifuge blueprints. Further there is no real evidence that uranium enrichment by Libya, Iran, North Korea or indeed Pakistan has ever produced fissionable U. Why go after him now? I think it's to stigmatise,...

He he I like it.

BTW try some single malt Lagavulin-it goes well with Schadenfreude (to be restricted only to Pakistani discomfort chortle chortle).

If you think I should remove that and this post shall gladly do so.

That was rhetorical, there are of course no correct answers, only opinions; and mine was directed more to the Pak lurkers than you.

James Bund

Why bother John when the Pakistanis themselves don't really believe their own prattle?

James Bund

Yeah the neocons are just going to thank Pakistan for pulling the knife out and let them keep their nukes as a reward. Somebody at P.I.S.S. needs to do a paper on the psychology of terror against a vastly more powerful foe. Is Musharaf sure America is going to go away after exiting Afghanistan? Does...

"If Pakistan had liked then it could terrify India with its unbeatable nuclear power", he was quoted as saying.

Yeah and if I wanted to I could do string theory and win a Nobel by year-end.

Good report in Nuclear Fuel. Obviously the media frenzy in Nov-Dec over Pak nuclear proliferation was carefully orchestrated by Washington, likely to put inexorable pressure on Musharraff to cooperate with Vajpayee. Remember that in American politics, being branded a WMD proliferator, regardless of ...

You can kiss the 'Chenab' formula goodbye.

Mr Masood Khan reiterated that the government of Pakistan had never authorised any transfers of sensitive nuclear technology to other countries.
