Some history....
Beautiful. Hey, I'll bet the ex-POTUS was more destructive to this country than JOHN WALKER.
Good grief!
--NewsMax stated that Risen's report could also have a serious implications for Sen. Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.--
So this will come out again as a 2008 November Surprise.
The MSM death timetable will be stepped-up considerably....at least.

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia. The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us, Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.

For all the talk about how complicated the firing block on a nuclear weapon is, nobody in the nuclear club (with the possible exception of North Korea) has had a first test of a nuclear device fail. All it is is a device that makes sure electrical impulses get to detonators at the correct time. It's about as complicated as a distributor cap. Why, a competent shade-tree mechanic could probably build one.
I just told my classmates I hate that SOB. As if I need a reason to hate him even more...
Thank me, I'm welcome!
Well, with the help of Ross Perot (twice) we had 8 years of CHANGE
And now the same folks are calling for 'change' again???????
I thought Pakistan's first detonations were problematic (partial, due to timing errors).
Yep your right, so why is x-pres bj klinton out walking around????
Excellent post, Ernest!
Too bad we won't be reading it in the NYT or LAT! LOL
BUMP FOR LATER READING!
Have a good weekend, ya'll!
I'm told by a retired nuke-u-leer weapons designer that a timing problem would be a complete fizzle (fractional yield) for an unboosted nuke. If you get a significant partial yield with a timing problem, it means the weapon was boosted--and that in itself means that Pakistan's debut weapon was more advanced than anyone knew.
