#1 a little gerald bull shot in the forehead to a dozen or so of these greasy paki nuke scientists would send a more important message to them and their peers than that of the profit mohammid--piss be upon him

#2 What's EFL? This site does get new visitors from time to time, you know. It gets a little too jargon-y here on occasion.

Agreed, sometimes we get selfish and it's all about meme, meme, meme.

#6 There isn't enough space in that line to write out "edited for length."

#7 There is a whole series of insider jokes running here! IMHO we need more Peshawar! In fact there is nothing like enough Peshawar.

#10 The Pakistani bomb fits into the Elders of Islam model. The Saudis are the money men. The Paks are the muscle who did the actual stealing of technology and jury-rigging it together.

Wheels within wheels. That's always the Islamic way. Syria doesn't attack Israel. It funds the PFLP to do it. Libya, SA, and Iran don't build their own bombs. They get Pakistan to do it for them. SA doesn't fight Saddam Hussein. It gets the US to do its dirty work.

God they must take us for simps. They openly proclaim an "Islamic Bomb" and we put on our western cultural blinders and describe it to ourselves as a "Pakistani Bomb." Saudi Arabia openly pumps over $300M into Hamas and IJ in 2001 and we fail to see this as a causus belli. Saudi funded missionaries travel unmolested everywhere and the mainsteam press sees them as modern day Franciscans rather than Comintern agents in turbans.

Prince Nayef and the men that think like him must curse OBL and his romantic notion of Jihad. If it hadn't been for 9/11, Libya and SA might be stockpiling nukes right now. Iran could have relied more on Pakistan and would not have been forced to invest so much in their own program. Islamists might rule triumphant in what used to be Soviet Central Asia.

#11 Ok, they've got their Islamic bomb. Whoop-dee-doo.

Did they ever look into the publicly available information on what the US was willing to do to the USSR during the Cold War?

Mutually Assured Destruction ring a bell?

Such goodies as tactical nukes, city busters, enhanced radiation weapons (neutron bombs), MIRVs, MARVs and many more are in the US arsenal.

A *single* Ohio class submarine has about 192 warheads, of up to 320kT yield *each*. The US has (I believe) 18 of these submarines.

If these countries think that by doing a 'pick and mix' to build a bomb that is then detonated in NYC harbour, that the US will say "Oh, there goes the Big Apple, but we can't pin this on one country, so we'll have to let it go", then they are fucking mistaken.

They're playing with the big boys now, and the rules were worked out by people who seriously contemplated the end of humanity. I'd like to say I hope they know what they're doing, but it doesn't seem to look that way.

Prediction: After November, assuming GWB is re-elected, the gloves will come off. Rogue nations will be told 'give up WMDs - or else' and that damnable country Saudi Arabia will cease to exist in its current form by the end of GWB's second term. I really like Steves' idea of having creating a new democratic, secular, US defence-pact guaranteed state in .coms' 40km in the east of Saudi Arabia.
