Russia says builds most powerful vacuum bomb
20 minutes ago
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Tuesday it had tested the world's most powerful vacuum bomb.
"Test results of the new airborne weapon have shown that its efficiency and power is commensurate with a nuclear weapon," Alexander Rukshin, deputy head of Russia's armed force chief of staff, told Russia's ORT First Channel television.

Perhaps the broad stand-down rumored, for Friday, is actually a smoke-screen for a frenzied inventory of the nation's nuclear stockpile(s)? An opportunity to make sure that all the nukes that are present and accounted for, Actually are Nukes!
...
A small, relatively advanced, variable yield nuclear weapon, light enough to be deployed by cruise missle, would be much more valuable as a reverse-engineering source, than as a semi-workable weapon.
And you wouldn't need "No Stinkin' Codes!", neither.

In my opinion, the most likely target would be somewhere in Pakistan. A nuclear power that is currently in the throes of a power struggle between Islamic militants trying to oust/assassinate the current regime, President Musharraf desperately trying to reign in the militants whilst maintaining power as dictator, and with the return of not one, but two former Prime Ministers who were exiled after Musharraf's military coup
...
All the factors are readdy to be assembled, all that's needed is a story of a rogue Pakistani Army/Militant capture of a nuclear asset, the missing Barksdale bomb set off somewhere in mainland Pakistan (Islamabad perhaps?), and the conventiently-plaved 7th Fleet to spring into action to help either Sharif or Bhutto back into power and restore order...
...any comments on the possibility of the scenario?

Well the Steve Fosset is a new angle to the story. I just don't see where the connection is from Fosset to a Nuke.

If you really, truly know the world is ending, would you mind sending me all of your money? You won't be needing it.

On tonight's show: Updates on the NUCLEAR WEAPONS that were "accidentally" shipped from North Dakota to Louisiana. Rather than put the info in writing on this site, folks will have to tune-in to the show to hear the amazing information proving our government itself was planning nuclear attacks upon American cities as a pretext for imposing martial law and going to war with Iran.

People tend to forget the situation in Pakistan is very precarious and that Musharraf was on the verge of declaring a state of emergency a week or two ago.

Did anyone listen to it? If this is true, the consequences SHOULD be enormous.

I also can't believe there's over 200 posts to this...why can't any of you give consideration to the fact that maybe...just maybe this was a very gross and negligent mistake? After all.....it is our government.
