| #5 Joe, I confess that back in the day I failed to do my 'duty' to produce things that don't work. Mea culpa .... I'm pretty sure that a bunch of other RBers carry a similar load of guilt. Let's hope the OWG people aren't too harsh with us when they find out. |

D *** NG IT, US SCHOOLS AND COLLEGS MUST PRODUCE MORE MORE HIGHLY EDUCATED/TRAINED SCIENTISTS-ENGINEERS, ETC. THAT MAKE SURE THINGS WON'T WORK = DON'T WORK, THUS ASSURING GLOBAL PEACE AND US PRIMACY. OWG-SWO NOW > US SCHOOLS-COLLEGES ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB - you know, PROTECTING/SAVING RUSSIA + SOCIALISM! |

| #3 I'd wager the Chinese are far more leery of letting a nuclear weapon slip out of their grasp. It might just as well be used against their politburo. Plus, China cooperates—if only ostensibly—with the IAEA, so we have isotopic fingerprints of their fissile material. Russia's political turmoil and propensity for free-floating gangsterism places them at far greater risk of "losing" a nuclear device or the material needed to build one. |

| #1 Among the report's other recommendations, Bunn urged world leaders to launch a global campaign to reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism, including the expansion of the mission, personnel and funding of the IAEA's Office of Nuclear Security. Oh sure, yew betcha. More millions pissed away so ElBaradei can play button-button-who's-got-the-button with Iran and other Muslim nations aspiring to acquire nuclear weapons. A far better way to "reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism" is by crippling Islam's ability to make war. No one else but Islam is on the list of suspects for this particular travesty and the IAEA's spectacular failure at doing jack shit about it bodes not at all well. Pakistan really isn't an issue. A single atom of their fissile material turns up in a terrorist nuclear attack and they become a parking lot. The real problem is Russia. Few avenues of retaliation against them are available should they slip a nuclear weapon to our enemies. A tactical response-in-kind could just as easily trigger a full-scale nuclear exchange. Yet one more reason why RasPutin has got to go. Outside of Islam, Putin is one of the most significant destabilizing forces in the world today. |
